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.

I’m inspired by the work I’ve seen at the accelerator in the past two months, and invigorated by what I know is coming. Since applications for this class closed in March, we have reviewed hundreds of companies, each giving us a glimpse into the future of care delivery. For every company considered for the program, we evaluate the leadership team, product concept, market fit, traction, and business model. We feel confident that we are engaging with companies who are well positioned to solve real-world problems in our industry.
