Work with the Innovation Hub
Letter from the Director
Thank you for visiting our website! Welcome to the Innovation Hub at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. We have been a part of so many great things since our official launch in September 2013 – and there are many amazing opportunities on the horizon. Of course you can check out our site for details from our 2nd Hackathon, our Collaboration Nights, and Clinical Innovation Day. But even better – please join our community, be a part of what we’re doing, disrupt with us – drive change in healthcare to make it better for our patients, our clinicians, scientists and employees. Sign up for our mailing list below to stay in touch with us.
The Boston Healthcare Innovation Ecosystem astounds us every day. There are so many smart, creative and energetic people working to have a positive impact on patient care – whether through therapeutics, diagnostics, devices or Health IT. The Brigham Innovation Hub team is on the ground working both internally with clinicians and scientists here as well as the start-up community around us.
Within our hospital walls we have led Innovation Series with Pulmonary, Surgery and other departments to work through clinicians’ problems and pain points. It has been amazing to watch those challenges turn into solutions – products and services to improve patient care.
How are we different? We are disrupting from inside one of the leading academic medical centers. We have support from our leadership to push our BWH employees outside of their comfort zone, in order to create value and to truly make a difference in the lives of the patients for whom we provide care. Over the next few months, we look forward to meeting more clinicians and scientists, engaging with more departments and divisions, and making innovation part of your daily routine (just like Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts!).
Whether you want to dabble in innovation and learn about the process, or you have an idea and are thinking about next steps, come talk to us. If you work at the Brigham, please stop by and say hi – we’re on the 3rd Floor of One Brigham Circle.
Best,
Lesley Solomon
Executive Director
