What We Do
At Fogarty Innovation, we help medtech innovators successfully navigate the path from invention to patient care.
Medtech innovation can save lives and transform healthcare on a global scale. However, successfully translating an idea into a commercially available medical device or therapy is a complex process. It requires navigating an intricate, multi-stakeholder landscape in which the needs and perspectives of patients, families, physicians, providers, payors, regulators, investors, and acquirors all play a role. Success requires a deep understanding of these interdependencies and real-world experience. That is where we come in.
Our dynamic, interactive programs draw on our decades of practical experience to address specific challenges of the medtech field, which we define broadly to encompass therapeutics, diagnostics, and digital health technologies.
To accomplish this, we provide a comprehensive suite of programs that reflect three integrated capabilities: incubation, education, and alliances. You can learn more below.
Integrated Capabilities
Education
We offer practical, expert-led educational programs that guide innovators through the complexities of the medtech lifecycle. Tailored for diverse audiences, our courses provide actionable insights, explain best practices, and foster valuable connections.
We offer the following educational programming tailored to our diverse constituents:
Incubation
Our incubation and acceleration programs provide hands-on, immersive support to early-stage companies, helping them refine strategies, build strong teams, and advance to commercialization. In addition to participating in our educational programs, early-stage companies also benefit from residing in a living laboratory with a cohort of other startup companies and entrepreneurs, and from unlimited access to our internal coaching team. They also enjoy the efficiencies of residing in 30,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility that combines office, meeting, educational, laboratory and development space.
We offer a range of incubation and acceleration programs tailored to match the stage of concept development and the innovators’ goals:
Alliances
We leverage our nonprofit status to forge partnerships across public and private sectors, uniting key healthcare stakeholders to drive innovation, improve patient care, and influence policies that strengthen the medtech ecosystem and our global society. Our partners include companies, institutions, clinical practices, funders and agencies that foster similar goals, such as:
