Health Innovators

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States of America

Health Innovators (HI, 13,000 member community) mission is to become the premier place for digital health tech entrepreneurs to innovate and build businesses that will solve our healthcare issues, improve patient outcomes, and reduce costs in a meaningful and impactful way. The objective of HI is to develop resources and infrastructures that are necessary to identify early-stage opportunities, cultivate and assist healthcare technology startups to create, validate and commercialize ideas.

HI is a community of health tech innovators, comprised of an ecosystem of clinicians, programmers, investors, product managers, business developers, "techie" doctors and health professionals whose mission is to help turn ideas for improved healthcare into a reality. HI fosters entrepreneurship and provides start-up businesses in the healthcare tech sector with mentoring, access to a network of resources and other business services designed to accelerate their success, and create jobs in the Boston metro area and beyond.

By providing access to investment, mentors, industry experts, other like-minded health tech entrepreneurs and access to funds, HI dramatically improves the chances of startups to succeed.

HI believes that inclusion, diversity and being global are important drivers of innovation. As part of our commitment to increasing the diversity of certain underrepresented participants in high tech companies, especially those interested in providing solutions to our healthcare problems, I would encourage minority and women to apply to our Coworking/Accelerator program or otherwise engage our other services offerings.

Our innovation center is run by physicians, trained in information technology, who guide and build prototypes, supported by flexible and extensible platforms, making sure they are HIPAA compliant, beta tested, and ready to impress investors.

Our mentors are affiliated with Harvard Medical School, major hospitals, including Joslin Diabetes Center, Children's Hospital Boston, Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston Medical Center, Tufts Medical Center, IBM, Philips, Foundation Medicine, Iora health, GNS Healthcare, and other local healthcare businesses in the Boston area.
