“COVID, as much as it was tragedy, really allowed for development and support for digital solutions in healthcare, in an accelerated way.”
— Jennifer Thomas on Keeping Innovation Alive - The Podcast
My next guest is Jennifer Thomas, the Managing Director of Plug and Play Tech Center in Cleveland. She also leads the Healthcare Vertical nationally. Plug and Playis the world's largest early stage investor, accelerator and corporate innovation platform headquartered in Silicon Valley. We've seen the landscape of healthcare change dramatically over the last couple years due to the Pandemic. It's the startups that are nimble and able to deliver breakthrough innovation. Plug and Play also connects them with corporate medical partners to help put their technology to practice and improve patient care and outcomes.
Jennifer highlights one of their startup partners, Babyscripts. In collaboration with University Hospitals and Roche they are providing a digital platform to help moms use technology to stay in touch with their physicians, monitor their baby and have immediate access to care in and out of the hospital.
