The New York eHealth Collaborative, the New York City Investment Fund
and the New York State Department of Health have launched a $4.2 million
program to foster health IT innovation and create 1,500 new jobs in the
state.
Called the New York Digital Health Accelerator (NYDHA), the program’s
goal is to make New York a hub for the emerging digital health
technology industry.
In upcoming months, the program will choose 12 early- and growth-stage
companies that are developing cutting-edge technology products in care
coordination, patient engagement, analytics and message alerts for
healthcare providers.
