How We Innovate
Balancing the best of what’s developed within Orlando Health with the best of what’s being developed by the market - to inspire, cultivate and accelerate innovation across Orlando Health.
Innovation & Product Development
The Foundry is an Internal accelerator program to identify, refine, develop and commercialize the most promising innovations from our team members and physicians. From software and apps, to medical products and regulated medical devices, we partner with clinicians to develop and validate a wide range of innovative products and services.
Design & Clinical Research
Using design thinking and a human centered approach to guide idea development process, through conception, prototyping, validation and user feedback, all the way to late stage feasibility studies and clinical trials. We use an adaptive process of gathering evidence and insights around innovative ideas through empathy, experimentation and user testing, in order to make faster, informed, de-risked decisions, while maintaining a laser-focus on our end-users.
Ventures
The corporate investment arm of Orlando Health invests financially, operationally and strategically in opportunities with the potential to improve patient outcomes, enhance patient experience and transform how we deliver care. Through a collaborative effort with our clinicians and leaders, Orlando Health Ventures sources, evaluates, and invests in innovative companies whose products or services will help Orlando Health reach strategic goals and align with the enterprise's innovation strategy.
