Mass Digital Health's Marketplace Program & Resources
The goal of the
Marketplace Program is to develop an accessible digital health market, which motivates firms to scale up in Massachusetts, and assists local customers in accessing digital health innovations.
Massachusetts has a robust startup ecosystem of early-stage and growing digital health firms with an extensive customer base. Unfortunately, the market for digital health innovations can be difficult to navigate and poses accessibility challenges.
If Massachusetts can address these challenges and make the digital health marketplace more transparent and accessible, we can help grow our Mass Digital Health ecosystem companies, while at the same time accelerating the pace of innovation.
In particular, MeHI would like to better understand the needs of community-based organizations as they try to innovate and use technology to improve the quality of the care they deliver. Please contact us if you would be willing for us to come interview you.
Stay tuned as further program developments are announced and
additional resources
are published.
