Cedars-Sinai, in partnership with Redesign Health, has launched a groundbreaking Digital Innovation Platform designed to transform digital health venture creation from ideation to market launch. This new “sustainable innovation center” aims to address escalating healthcare costs, workforce shortages, administrative inefficiencies, and the growing complexity of patient care. Unlike traditional accelerators or venture funds that focus on external startups, Cedars-Sinai’s approach nurtures entrepreneurship among its own clinicians and staff, supporting them with growth opportunities and a network of business strategists, engineers, data scientists, and experienced founders.
Key differentiators include:
•End-to-End Venture Building: Cedars-Sinai acts as the first funder, customer, and pilot site for new companies, enabling early de-risking and real-world validation.
•Integrated Data Platform: Founders gain access to large, de-identified, secure, and synthetic datasets, combined with AI and emerging technologies, to guide product design and ensure clinical effectiveness, operational scalability, and financial sustainability.
•Collaborative Expertise: The partnership leverages Redesign Health’s proven venture-building methodology-having launched over 60 healthcare companies-and Cedars-Sinai’s clinical excellence, creating an ecosystem uniquely positioned to tackle systemic healthcare challenges
