KidsX is currently seeking applications for the AWS Healthcare Accelerator, a four-week technical, business, and mentorship accelerator opportunity.
The AWS Healthcare Accelerator will be open to all healthcare startups targeting any patient population, with KidsX bringing their strong network of healthcare organizations and experience in delivering accelerator programs.
With an expanded focus on the health of the population and the existing health disparities in 2022, the AWS Healthcare Accelerator will select a cohort of 10 startup companies seeking to use AWS to help solve the biggest challenges in the public health industry.
Focus Areas
This AWS Health Accelerator will focus on the following areas:
- Increasing access to health services: Can include synchronous or asynchronous digital health solutions, remote patient monitoring, Internet of Things (IoT), language translation apps in healthcare settings, or digital tools to increase the availability and impact of health workers.
- Reducing disparities by addressing social determinants of health: Can include leveraging technology or research to improve access to social services, food security, transportation, housing, or economic opportunities to improve health outcomes.
- Leveraging data to promote equitable & inclusive systems of care: Solutions that capture real-time feedback to predict risk, generate meaningful insights, monitor symptoms, nudge behavior, and allow for timely and appropriate levels of intervention
