CHIME + ScaleHealth: Patient Engagement Challenge 2023 - Finalist Profiles

Shining a spotlight on groundbreaking healthcare solutions… 

A partnership between CHIME Innovation and ScaleHealth, designed to promote creative solutions from start-ups and early-stage companies to the healthcare leaders who need them. The five Finalists of the challenge are showcased below.

The Concept

CHIME Innovation teamed up with ScaleHealth to offer the CHIME Membership Ecosystem an opportunity to identify startup companies with high alignment to their most pressing industry “pain points” and low risk to collaborate, based on ScaleHealth’s innovation marketplace de-risking platform.

The Process

• Invite CHIME Member CIOs to participate –  We had four great health systems who participated in this first challenge. We scheduled Zoom calls and interviewed them about their biggest challenges in 2023 related to Patient Engagement, a theme already established in a preliminary webinar call with ScaleHealth and CHIME. Participants “CHALLENGED” ScaleHealth to find the top companies with the highest alignment with their biggest areas of concern and lowest risk in a variety of areas.

• Invite Startups in the ScaleHealth Innovation Marketplace to apply –  More than 100 companies applied to participate in the challenge.

• Narrow the list to Five Finalists –  They answered a series of questions in a variety of categories in the ScaleHealth platform’s custom Rubric, including HIPAA compliance, digital security, and overall business health.

• Present the Finalists –  We chose the incredible ViVE 2023 Conference to present the Finalists to an open audience of healthcare innovators, inviting all attendees, including our CHIME Member attendees and the original Challenge Participants, to meet the Finalists in a special, two-day series of presentations, and built a permanent web page to showcase the Story Films created by CHIME Innovation to introduce the Finalists to our CHIME Membership and the Healthcare industry.
