The Ideation Clinic™ is a collaborative engine specifically intended to address improving the front-end barriers to product development in healthcare. It is a coalition of universities, hospitals, research institutes and industry partners. We use an evidence-based approach to understand, support and teach the best practices and principles of developing innovations into interventions. It is intended as a multi-pronged approach that amplifies the existing resources already invested at both poles of the innovation processes. Following a human-centered and participatory approach, the Ideation Clinic™ brings together core stakeholders around the Ideation Key™ to aid researchers, clinicians, trainees, innovators, entrepreneurs, and other key partners to apply knowledge to solve real-world healthcare related problems.
