Meet the 7 startups UCLA Health selected for its health equity accelerator
UCLA Health recently announced the inaugural cohort of startups for its health equity accelerator. The seven digital health startups, which represent pre-seed through Series A-stage companies, are developing digital health solutions to address chronic disease management, respiratory illness and healthcare accessibility for vulnerable populations.
As part of their work to advance innovation in healthcare, some health systems and tech companies are rolling out accelerator programs to give young startups the resources they need to develop digital health products. Recently, more accelerators specifically focused on health equity are emerging, such as the programs established by Amazon, UCSF and Boston Medical Center.
