what is the patient shark tank®​?

The Patient Shark Tank®  was created to amplify the voice of the patient and caregiver in the design, development and/or continuous improvement of healthcare innovation, whether it's technology, research design, education, strategy, etc.  Although there are expert patients and caregivers who are part of the tribe, the majority of patients and their caregivers have not intersected with players in the healthcare ecosystem other than their healthcare team. Join us at our next event as innovators pitch their concepts and innovations to patients or contact us to schedule your own!

Certification & Standards
A scorecard co-designed by patients and caregivers is utilized to allow for standard criteria and assessments to be used in the evaluation of innovations.  
​
The bottom line: RAW and unfiltered perspectives are often overlooked in healthcare.
