Harvard Grid's Harvard I-Corps Spark: Innovators Jumpstart | Healthcare Delivery
May 27th, 2026 - June 17th, 2026 ~ 04:00pm - 07:00pm
Science and Engineering Complex, 150 Western Ave, Boston, MA 02134, USA
This I-Corps Spark is tailored for healthcare delivery innovations. If your concept touches how healthcare is accessed, coordinated, or experienced, this is your opportunity to test its real-world potential. If not innovating in healthcare delivery, please pick any of the other I-Corps Sparks offered.
Healthcare delivery spans a wide range of challenges and are not limited to: care access, clinical workflow and efficiency, patient engagement and communication, remote and community-based care, health data and interoperability, mental and behavioral health systems, chronic disease management, and the integration of AI and digital tools into care settings.
Starting with an immersion in US healthcare system stakeholders and access, healthtech leaders from Harvard's i-lab, OTD, and Grid will lead this free, 3-week customer discovery program that will equip researchers with the skills and confidence to learn real insights from customers and build products that people are more likely to buy. No prior entrepreneurship experience required.
