More than 540 master’s level students, representing 45 major
universities in the U.S., registered for the competition – one of
the top competitions of its kind in the nation – to compete for
$90,000 in total prizes.
The student team of Edward Raff, Natalie Howell, Pulak Jain, and
Nicholas Graham from Syracuse University received the first-place
prize of $50,000. The second-place prize of $20,000 was awarded to
Taylor Boles and Geet Raval from Texas A&M University, while
the third-place prize of $10,000 was presented to Asif Syed,
Landrie Alsobrook, Shubhi Gupta, and Ranjith Kumar Kuppu Rathinam

This year’s competition focused on medication adherence for
non-small cell lung cancer therapies that help increase the
likelihood of survival. The winning teams developed strategies to
address common barriers to medication adherence, such as an
innovative patient mentoring program and easy-to-use process to
relieve patients’ symptoms, discomfort and stress while undergoing
treatment.
“We were grateful to again join the Texas A&M University
Mays Business School to support this competition, which allows
students to put into practice what they have learned by applying

technology and digital analytics are at the center of our work to
help meet the healthcare needs of our members and the communities

creativity among our students.”
“We are truly honored to work with Humana, who shares our core
values, on this competition,” said Jerry Strawser, Associate Dean
for Graduate Programs at Mays Business School. “The opportunity to
provide a transformational learning experience for students while
addressing significant matters facing the healthcare industry makes
