The accelerator is now accepting applications for the next class through March 15. The focus areas mentioned in this article are examples of the types of projects Cedars-Sinai Accelerator works with, but it is open to applications from any company developing solutions for hospital and health system customers.
In this episode of Digital Health Today, host Dan Kendall and Anne Wellington, Managing Director of the Cedars-Sinai Accelerator, discuss the broad scope of work surrounding Cedars-Sinai as a healthcare provider, the genesis of the Cedars-Sinai Accelerator program, how Cedars-Sinai acts as an advocate for startups, and future plans for the program.
“We understand the importance of helping startups develop technology that empowers the patient or healthcare professional to better track, manage and improve health and healthcare delivery,” said Darren Dworkin, Chief Information Officer of Cedars-Sinai Accelerator powered by Techstars. “We bring the expertise of leaders who are on the front lines of care every day and can provide thorough perspective to technology companies who are making real changes in the space. Through our partnership with HLTH, we bring this collaboration to life in the Startup Pitch competition.”
"The highlight of HIMSS18 was seeing our Cedars-Sinai Accelerator alumni onstage in the Innovation Live Zone, alongside Darren Dworkin, CIO of Cedars-Sinai, and Dr. Rick Riggs, CMIO of Cedars-Sinai. Darren and Rick spoke with Deep6 AI, Invio Inc., and Cancer Aid, all alumni of our program, about how to successfully navigate the healthcare ecosystem. The session was honest, inspiring, and completely full."
