Brigham Innovation Hub

About The Fund

Brigham Innovation Hub, referred to as Brigham Digital Innovation Hub and part of Mass General Brigham Emerging Technologies and Solutions (MGBETS), is an investment and innovation platform based in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 2013. Initially established within Brigham and Women's Hospital, it is dedicated to accelerating digital innovation in the healthcare sector. Their mission is to lead digital health innovation across the Mass General Brigham network by driving the adoption and evaluation of groundbreaking digital technologies, fostering a collaborative digital health community, and enhancing clinical, operational, and research capacities through digital solutions. The program operates across three main domains: enhancing clinical and operational solutions through digital innovation, fostering collaborative communities, and accelerating digital research activities. A key element of their approach involves matchmaking market solutions with internal challenges, thereby facilitating the symbiotic development and use of Brigham-developed solutions as well as the commercialization of those innovations. They encourage the continuous pursuit of digital transformation in healthcare, empowering clinicians, staff, researchers, and innovators to ideate, unlock new potentials, and advance care for patients and the healthcare system at large. This involves providing support for early-stage ideas, addressing priority challenge areas, and assisting navigational processes within Mass General Brigham. Additionally, they actively support partnerships and collaborations with early-stage startups, vendors, venture capitalists, and domain experts, aiming to build a vibrant ecosystem. They organize events to connect innovators and industry members to foster a growing community committed to digital health progress. Such initiatives are indicative of their commitment to disrupt medicine and improve patient care through the integration of immersive technology, with efforts such as using augmented reality to enhance home care and improving veterans' well-being.
