Healthcare innovation is fiendishly complex. The path from idea to laboratory to marketplace and patient care is fraught with obstacles. Reliably achieving product-market fit in the health sector—matching problems to solutions and focusing their development to maximize their potential for impact—remains a critical challenge.

To tackle this problem, our co-creation methodology systematically coalesces diverse stakeholders in Affinity Groups to create new healthcare technologies and innovation-based enterprises.

Affinity groups leverage medical and technology strengths across healthcare settings to improve outcomes, increase quality, and reduce cost.

Each Affinity Group comprises projects, which are led by Fellows who attract and coordinate diverse collaborators.
