Driving Enduring Medical Device and Digital Health Innovation in Southeast Michigan and Southwest Ontario

MedHealth is a regional collaboration connecting, convening, and educating the medical innovation ecosystem in Southeast Michigan and Southwest Ontario to accelerate the adoption of technologies that improve quality of care and contribute to economic growth.
Focus
In 2015, healthcare stakeholders in Southeast Michigan and Southwest Ontario teamed up to discuss gaps in the region’s medical ecosystem. This group of entrepreneurial service organizations, research institutions, businesses, economic development agencies, and healthcare providers quickly identified the opportunity to work together to leverage the region’s combined assets to encourage growth. This steering committee chose to specifically focus on the innovation of medical devices and digital health as a starting point for elevating the region’s health industry.
