ProjectLift Miami2013 is Miami’s first and only seed accelerator focused exclusively on the intersection of health and technology. The focus of our 2013 Program will be mobile enabled technologies that are focused on addressing important healthcare issues. Epidemiology, public health, mobile technology and population health management should be the driving focus of the entrepreneurs seeking a spot in the spring class (scheduled for May 2013). Our mission is to catalyze and support innovation that facilitates quality healthcare services, better patient health, and better healthcare outcomes at a lower cost. ProjectLift focuses on innovation that seeks to address real healthcare challenges facing our system. We are particularly interested in innovation within the context of population health management and systems of connecting and communicating with patients—especially in the following contexts:
• Population Health Management / at Discharge
• Remote Clinical Interface (Mobile and Tele Medicine)
• Care Access for The Underserved
• Personal Health Management
• Payer-Member (patient) Interface
• Wellness Coaching
• Patient-Hospital Interface
• Hospital Cultures
• Customer Service
• Clinical Caregiver Resources and Tools
• Family Caregiver Resources and Tools
• Decision Making
• Home-based Solutions
What will we look for? We look for disruptive thinking—BIG ideas that are brave and that are directed towards better healthcare outcomes for everyone. We look for business ideas that drive change in core healthcare platforms and that can move the needle in care delivery—BIG ideas executed by smart and driven entrepreneurs. We are looking for ideas that seek to really move the needle in healthcare… not just in one local market, but across the globe. We are looking for ideas that address BIG challenges in the system—but that can start small. We seek innovations that leverage a business model that is sustainable and scalable. We will provide every business we seed with a platform and resources to expand on their idea and set the stage for continued success. Our approach leverages three key principals—Innovation, Strategy, and Culture to the advantage of entrepreneurs seeking to transform the healthcare space.
