A nascent project launched by the Health and Human Services Department aims to spur innovation and help solve an expensive health crisis plaguing millions of Americans: kidney disease.
Developers hope it will one day be used as a model, not only for introducing innovators to government, but also to many other high-cost disease areas across the health care sector.
HHS Open Innovation Manager Dr. Sandeep Patel discussed the project—dubbed the KidneyX Innovation Accelerator—at ACT-IAC’s Health Innovation Day in Washington April 10, encouraging innovators to get involved.
