GuideWell opens collaborative ecosystem for health innovation
GuideWell Innovation launched its Collaborative Resource Ecosystem (CoRE) in Orlando’s Lake Nona Medical City, which aims to serve as a network connecting entrepreneurs, research and development experts and healthcare leaders with innovative ideas, funding opportunities and resources in order to develop the next generation of health solutions.
“GuideWell is committed to improving the healthcare system. The collaborative ideas and solutions that will come out of the GuideWell Innovation CoRE will allow us to reshape health, and GuideWell will put its support behind fostering these new solutions,” said Pat Geraghty, Chairman and CEO of GuideWell, in a release. “We also will be working with early-stage health companies and helping incubate those companies while they are developing new technologies and solutions for healthcare.”
The GuideWell Innovation CoRE can be accessed in several ways including direct participation in one of the exclusive immersion events or through a CoRE membership.
“GuideWell Innovation’s mission is to advance the transformation of the health industry by rapidly accelerating health innovation. The CoRE will allow us to bring together start-ups and industry leaders to fast-track health solutions that can radically transform our health system into a more integral and useful part of people’s lives,” said Renee Finely, head of GuideWell Innovation.
The GuideWell Innovation CoRE is anchored in a 30,000-square-foot collaboration space on the first floor of the new GuideWell UST Global Innovation Center facility. The CoRE is designed to become the epicenter of health innovation by offering interactive opportunities for innovators, entrepreneurs and healthcare leaders to work together, and by providing inside-track access to the healthcare system, including the GuideWell family of companies, and expertise on accelerating development and commercialization of new health solutions and technologies.
