Together.Health is a digital healthcare innovation collaborative representing over 40 regional, national, and global digital health accelerators, incubators, economic development organizations, government organizations, associations and other ecosystem leaders. By leveraging the regional strength of these organizations at a national and international level, the Collaborative is well-positioned to make a massive impact on the health industry with the launch of their National Digital Health Ecosystem Map. This comprehensive, real-time database of health innovators, investors, and partners will help us better understand the overall US health innovation landscape and where we can best support and ensure its long-term success. This database will eventually provide real time insight into digital health adoption, implementation and by category and therapeutic area

Join this partner event to learn more about what various regional ecosystem champions are doing to support “health equity by design” through the digital health innovation community. Additionally, you’ll get a chance to learn more about the Together.Health collaborative, its members, and how to get involve in its ambitious goals of sharing best practices and eradicating marketplace friction towards the adoption of digital health innovations.
