Healthcare stands at a critical juncture, facing a paradox of cutting-edge treatments coexisting with suboptimal outcomes, escalating costs, and inequitable access. Despite remarkable medical advances, the systems and processes that have brought us this far are struggling to address mounting challenges. Traditional innovation models, successful in other industries, have found limited traction in healthcare due to the sector's complexity, stringent regulations, and multi-stakeholder nature.
Redesign Health was founded on the premise that overcoming these obstacles requires a fundamentally new approach. As a venture builder, we've envisioned a model that combines cutting-edge technology with innovative business strategies, all while leveraging deep industry knowledge. Our core belief, which continues to drive us today, is that the solution lies not in disrupting healthcare from the outside, but in catalyzing change from within the ecosystem itself.
Through our proprietary company creation model, powered by an extensive network and deep healthcare expertise, we've launched over 70 companies — each tackling critical challenges across the healthcare ecosystem.This track record not only demonstrates our ability to innovate at scale but also provides us with unique insights into the complexities and opportunities within healthcare, positioning us to drive even greater impact through collaborative partnerships.
Effecting Change From Within: Deepening Our Partnerships in Healthcare
We've long recognized that truly redesigning health requires working both within and alongside the existing healthcare ecosystem, and have partnered with a number of healthcare incumbents to co-build innovative businesses that address critical gaps in the marketplace. For example, we've partnered with UPMC Enterprises to build two companies — a testament to the strength and success of our collaborative model: Pip Care, a perioperative care platform, and a new venture in development. Other companies we’ve co-built include Iron Health, Fort Health and Jabra Enhance.
We're now formalizing a comprehensive suite of innovation services specifically for our healthcare partners, designed to further catalyze change from within the ecosystem. Our offerings include delivering actionable market insights, facilitating workshops to uncover opportunities, and collaboratively evaluating which concepts are best suited for co-building as new ventures. This approach creates a virtuous cycle: deeper healthcare relationships yield richer insights and resources, enabling us to understand our partners' priorities and build targeted solutions that address pressing industry needs more effectively. Rather than healthcare organizations developing innovation programs in isolation, partnering with Redesign Health provides access to our tried and tested processes, significantly de-risking innovation efforts while addressing critical challenges more effectively.
We're proud to highlight our engagements with industry-leading partners across the healthcare ecosystem. We've completed projects with Astellas Rx+ to generate new concepts for commercialization and with Ochsner Health to gauge commercial signal for an internally developed solution. These engagements demonstrate our commitment to accelerating innovation with our partners and exemplify how we can drive progress by combining our insights and expertise with the real-world experience and strategic priorities of healthcare incumbents. By deepening our relationships across the healthcare ecosystem, we're building a richer network of insights, resources, and potential collaborations that can accelerate the growth and impact of our ventures.
A Tool for Actionable Insights: The Innovation Maturity Index
To support our collaboration efforts and help our partners maximize their innovation potential, we've developed the Innovation Maturity Index (IMI). The IMI is a key component of our expanded partnership approach, providing a data-driven foundation for our collaborative efforts. This comprehensive tool is designed to help organizations assess their innovation capabilities across four key quadrants: strategy, culture, organization, and capabilities. The IMI offers nuanced insights that guide actionable change, providing our partners with a clear roadmap for enhancing their innovation efforts and aligning more effectively with our co-creation model.
We're excited to partner with General Catalyst to roll out the IMI tool to participating partners in their health assurance ecosystem. As we gather more data, we aim to offer segment-specific benchmarks and insights, valuable for healthcare organizations across different sectors.
Looking Ahead
Through this work, we continue to deepen our partnerships and expand our impact across the healthcare ecosystem, creating an environment where transformative ideas flourish and become reality through new ventures and collaborative innovation. Our core mission as a venture builder remains unchanged, reinforcing our commitment to driving meaningful change from within the healthcare industry.
We invite you to join us on this journey. Whether you're a healthcare organization looking to accelerate your innovation efforts, a founder inspired to change healthcare, or an investor seeking high-impact opportunities, Redesign Health is here to partner with you in creating a healthier future for all.
Together, we can rethink, reinvent, and redesign health. Interested in partnering? Reach out: partnerships@redesignhealth.com.
