It鈥檚 March Madness for college basketball fans.  But teams of student entrepreneurs gathered in Durham this week for Start-up Madness.

Niki Kohari:  Can you guys feel the March Madness in the air!

Leoneda Inge:  Nineteen Start-up Madness teams tipped off in Durham, representing schools in the ACC. Clemson鈥檚 鈥淢ushroom Mountain鈥� was lucky enough to make the Elite Eight.  The University of Virginia鈥檚 I-pod talking 鈥淭ee Gee鈥� doll shined in the Final Four.   But when the buzzer sounded 鈥� The University of Miami Hurricanes won with 鈥淐ohealo.鈥�   Mark Slaughter says his company designs collaborative infrastructure to help improve health care system continuity.

Mark Slaughter:  The biggest problem in health care right now is inefficiency. And it鈥檚 particular with hospital systems.  They鈥檙e operating as individual facilities in a health group and they鈥檙e not interconnected.  So there鈥檚 a ton of waste and a ton of inefficiency.

Slaughter walked away with a check for five thousand dollars.
