NextGen Invent, a Straive Company focused on AI and technology transformation, has joined the American Heart Association Center for Health Technology & Innovation’s Innovators’ Network.
The network connects entrepreneurs, healthcare providers, researchers, and payers to develop scalable technologies focused on cardiovascular and brain health.
Membership gives NextGen Invent opportunities to collaborate with organizations across the healthcare ecosystem while accessing the American Heart Association’s digital evidence-based scientific guidelines and clinical recommendations.
The network also supports collaboration around clinical outcome studies, which can help technology companies reduce the cost of developing studies independently and generate evidence around whether digital platforms improve healthcare outcomes.
Connecting AI with evidence-based digital health
That evidence can be particularly important for providers and payers evaluating new digital health technologies.
NextGen Invent brings expertise in AI strategy, AI enablement, AI governance, modern data platforms, and healthcare and life sciences to the network.
“We are excited to join the American Heart Association’s® Innovators’ Network, as it provides opportunities to collaborate with others innovating in the health technology space,” said Deepak Mittal, CEO of NextGen Invent, a Straive Company. “As an AI-first organization with deep healthcare and life sciences experience along with expertise in AI strategy, scalable AI enablement, AI governance, and modern data platforms, backed by strong thought leadership, we value the opportunity for the advancement of evidence-based digital health innovation.”
Robert A. Harrington, M.D., FAHA, volunteer past president of the American Heart Association and chair of the Association’s Health Tech Advisory Group for the Center, said the network aims to accelerate healthcare technology development.
“The Center for Health Technology & Innovation is dedicated to fostering the rapid, efficient and impactful development of healthcare technology,” said Robert A. Harrington, M.D., FAHA, volunteer past president of the American Heart Association (2019-2020), chair of the American Heart Association’s Health Tech Advisory Group for the Center, the Stephen and Suzanne Weiss Dean of Weill Cornell Medicine and provost for medical affairs of Cornell University. “By joining the Innovators’ Network, members can tap into the consortium to broaden and enhance their engagement in this transformative field.”
For NextGen Invent, the addition to the network creates another channel to connect its AI capabilities with organizations working to turn digital health technologies into evidence-based solutions.
