Innovation starts with a seed, an idea fueled by passion and a desire to make meaningful change by building on that which has come before and making it better. In no field is this perhaps more vital than in health care.
Rock Health, a seed accelerator and nonprofit foundation focused on the intersection of health care and technology, develops global strategies to enhance care delivery, patient-clinician relations, and the health and well being of people the world over. The organization is partnering with organizations, entrepreneurs, researchers, thought leaders and innovators across multiple fields, including medicine, technology, venture capital, and corporate industry to advance digital technology in health care – two fields that touch each of our lives. Through start-up funding, research and public events, the foundation supports next generation health entrepreneurs committed to supporting digital innovation in health care.
Kaiser Permanente recently announced its partnership with Rock Health as a sponsor to provide financial support and work closely with the seed accelerator’s network of change makers to explore new ways to leverage digital innovation to improve the health of communities across the globe. In this move, Kaiser Permanente joins several other health and business leaders—including the Mayo Clinic, Harvard Medical School, General Electric, Nike, Genentech and others—who support Rock Health and the important work it is doing.
