Innovate Carolina, partners accelerate NC Health Innovation District initiative
Innovate Carolina, Novant Health Innovation Lab of Novant Health System and the Digital Health Institute for Transformation are accelerating a new initiative…
Through the NC Health Innovation District (NCHID) initiative, DHIT, Innovate Carolina and Novant Health Innovation Lab will partner with leading organizations, experts and communities to deliver and evolve a state-wide collaboration platform including digital health masterclasses, roundtables, workshops and real-world challenges in order to facilitate readiness and adoption of digital health innovations. By leveraging the latest technologies and social innovation approaches, this initiative will create new partnerships and models of engagement across North Carolina that will help improve access to healthcare, enhance patient outcomes, decrease healthcare costs and reduce health inequities. These innovations can also be scaled beyond the state to help other communities both nationally and abroad.
“We are thrilled to launch this initiative and partner with forward-thinking organizations and individuals committed to driving innovation and positive outcomes in the field of digital health,” says Michael Levy, CEO of DHIT.
“By developing our state’s innovation and digital health capacity, we can begin to fully leverage the latest technologies and social innovation practices that will make a significant impact on the health and well-being of communities across North Carolina and beyond the state,” says Sheryl Waddell, Director of Economic Development and Innovation Hubs for Innovate Carolina at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
“By working collaboratively across a diverse ecosystem, including payers, consumers, providers and researchers, we can support innovation that will improve public health, support digital enablement and reduce health inequities,” said Paula Kranz, Vice President of Innovation Enablement, Novant Health and Executive Director, Novant Health Innovation Lab.
