Types of Projects Supported

Four Focus Areas (Non-Exhaustive):

a) Sensors and Wearables (S&W)

Innovation that uses S&W. For primary care applications, we are hoping to dramatically (10x) the number of residents an individual doctor can look after.

b) Artificial Intelligence (AI)

National-level innovative AI solutions to improve operational efficiency, patient outcomes, and/or user satisfaction per use case.

c) Robotics and Automation (R&A)

Innovations that employ assistive and robotics solutions in back and front room operations

d) Digital Solutions (DS)

Innovations that use technology-based tools, systems, or services.

The innovative projects should focus on product and/or process innovations that addresses business, workforce, or organizational transformational needs in the healthcare sector:

Product Innovation

refers to the introduction of good or service that is new or significantly improved with respect to its characteristics or intended uses.

Process Innovation
