Can Health Systems Help push Digital Health Development Forward?

The highly competitive digital healthcare market is teeming with companies looking to achieve a singular goal: create solutions with staying power. In recent years, companies have launched and folded in short order, showing that developing effective digital health tools is a formidable task. As companies struggle to cater to complex healthcare needs, well-resourced healthcare provider organizations have taken the matter into their own hands — entering the market as investors, developers, and development partners.Mass General Brigham has its Center for Innovation in Digital HealthCare, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has its Center for Digital Health, and Providence its Digital Innovation Group. Mayo Clinic offers a suite of products to support the development and deployment of digital health solutions through the Mayo Clinic Platform, including the recently launched Solutions Studio.

Health systems are uniquely suited to developing clinically effective digital health tools, but they must first navigate the complexities of technology development.“The primary goal [of the Solutions Studio] is to accelerate the speed of getting innovation into the hands of the healthcare providers and to bring as many of these innovations as possible through the program,” said Steve Bethke, vice president of Solutions Developer Market, Mayo Clinic Platform, in an email. These efforts point to the complexity and trenchant nature of the healthcare industry’s pain points. While healthcare providers may be able to bring their unique perspectives to digital health development, experts who spoke with mHealthIntelligence say there are numerous hurdles to success in this area.
