BioHive will launch HealthTech Hub to empower the state’s science and technology communities to help improve medical innovation and disrupt healthcare.
“Technology is transforming and improving patient care. We are grateful to provide a space for technology and health innovators to come together and create pathways to innovate and impact the future of healthcare,” said Aimee Edwards, executive director of BioHive. “Utah’s life sciences industry encompasses more than 180,000 direct and indirect employees, scientists and non-scientists alike, that support and grow our diverse ecosystem.”
The goal of the HealthTech Hub chapter, formerly BioBytes, is to catalyze precision medicine innovation and disrupt the healthcare system, resulting in personalized preventative care, more effective treatments, improved patient outcomes, and reduced healthcare disparities.
“The foundation of this chapter began with my friend and colleague Steffanie VanderVeen to cross industry boundaries. I wanted to build a community that intersects cutting-edge healthcare, technology, and data analytics to solve problems and learn about available technologies,” said Martyna Shallenberg, co-founder of the HealthTech Hub. “I am excited to expand this BioHive community and create opportunities statewide.”
