2. Inside-Out »
The iHub was initially founded as an internal resource for innovators who want to develop and commercialize their solutions, and still puts much of its focus into bringing internal innovators and their ideas forward. The iHub provides support to Brigham Health clinicians, researchers, and administrators to help them turn digital health ideas into reality. As an advisory service, the iHub interacts and provides guidance and feedback on digital health concepts at all stages – from back of the napkin ideas to fully formed and validated solutions like Twiage, Herald Health, BrainSpec.
Through various resources such as the iHub Open Innovation Studio, the Digital Health Innovation Guide, events hosted exclusively for innovators and much more, the iHub has helped dozens of Brigham innovators move their innovative ideas and technologies forward to positively impact patient experience and care, both now and in the future.

Digital Health Startup looking to engage with iHub?
The iHub led and created a central repository for startup companies that reach out to the Mass General Brigham community through startups.partners.org. This resource encourages further communication and coordination between the various innovation sites at Mass General Brigham. The intake process is one mechanism that allows us to evaluate and assess fit within our institution. Typically, once companies have completed the form, if there is alignment with strategic initiatives and priorities at Brigham Health, an introductory meeting will be held to better understand opportunities and potentials for adoption.
