AI is moving deeper into healthcare, but developing the technology is only part of the challenge. Companies also need to demonstrate that their digital solutions can improve patient outcomes.
NextGen Invent, a Straive Company, has joined the American Heart Association Center for Health Technology & Innovation’s Innovators’ Network, a consortium connecting entrepreneurs, providers, researchers, and payers working on cardiovascular and brain health innovation.
The network gives members access to the Association’s digital evidence-based scientific guidelines and clinical recommendations as they develop digital healthcare technologies. Members can also collaborate with the Center on clinical outcome studies, helping reduce the cost of developing those studies independently.
For NextGen Invent, the partnership builds on its work across AI strategy, scalable AI enablement, AI governance, modern data platforms, and healthcare and life sciences.
“We are excited to join the American Heart Association’s® Innovators’ Network, as it provides opportunities to collaborate with others innovating in the health technology space,” said Deepak Mittal, CEO of NextGen Invent, a Straive Company. “As an AI-first organization with deep healthcare and life sciences experience along with expertise in AI strategy, scalable AI enablement, AI governance, and modern data platforms, backed by strong thought leadership, we value the opportunity for the advancement of evidence-based digital health innovation.”
The American Heart Association says the Innovators’ Network is designed to help connect scientific evidence with technology and provide evidence that digital platforms can improve healthcare outcomes, an increasingly important consideration for providers and payers.
“The Center for Health Technology & Innovation is dedicated to fostering the rapid, efficient and impactful development of healthcare technology,” said Robert A. Harrington, M.D., FAHA, volunteer past president of the American Heart Association (2019-2020), chair of the American Heart Association’s Health Tech Advisory Group for the Center, the Stephen and Suzanne Weiss Dean of Weill Cornell Medicine and provost for medical affairs of Cornell University. “By joining the Innovators’ Network, members can tap into the consortium to broaden and enhance their engagement in this transformative field.”
The collaboration gives NextGen Invent a path to work with other organizations developing digital health technologies while bringing its AI and data expertise into an ecosystem focused on measurable healthcare outcomes.
