Innovation Challenge
4141 Hacienda Dr, Pleasanton, CA
Catalyzing Cutting-edge Innovations, Designs and Technology in Healthcare
The future of healthcare depends on innovative technological solutions and new business models of care. From universal access to robotics, AI assisted patient care and remote monitoring, how we prevent, treat and manage healthcare will depend on our ability to incorporate AI/VR, NLP, wearables and devices. This Innovation Challenge is meant to engage innovators, entrepreneurs, students, non-profits, and philanthropists to look at health technology from this new perspective.
It was inspiring and fascinating to hear all the creative ideas and technology being used to solve today’s healthcare problems for the future. We were able to meet people and have conversations with teams who we would not have been able to connect with otherwise. The Innovation Challenge is a medium for healthcare tech disruptors to meet, innovate, grow and change the future.
The challenge is to identify a focus area from those listed below and submit a written proposal of your solution. The proposal should include the use of one or more CharmHealth APIs to implement your solution or should describe how this would be used in a similar EHR platform or in the digital healthcare domain.

Digital Transformation Fund
With the CharmHealth + Bioverge Digital Transformation Fund, Bioverge’s expertise in sourcing and investing in the next-generation healthcare startups is paired with CharmHealth’s extensive and growing network, technical support and marketplace of digital tools.
A wide gap exists in the digital healthcare investment space, whereby the validation of innovative ideas is often too far removed from the input of actual end users. This Digital Transformation Fund is pioneering a new way to bridge this gap. In the context of healthcare, this can mean a shortened time for a cure to a life-threatening disease or novel treatment for a chronic condition.
