Atlanta is the health IT capital of the United States with 200+ health IT companies and nearly $4 billion in revenue (source). At the Atlanta Tech Village, we have several health IT companies like Rimidi Diabetes, DocTime, and Digital Assent / PatientPad. As part of our theme of playing to the existing strengths of our community, we see an opportunity for more health IT at ATV.
Here are a few ideas around health IT and the Atlanta Tech Village:
- Find a partner to run a health-related accelerator program like Rock Health or Healthbox
- Help someone create a health IT variant of the Atlanta Startup Village and have open monthly or quarterly events where health IT entrepreneurs give their five minute pitch followed by audience Q&A
- Encourage health IT groups and associations to use ATV facilities and help grow the number of active participants in the community
Health IT is a big part of the Atlanta tech and startup communities. ATV wants to do what it can to help.
What else? What are some other thoughts on health IT and the Atlanta Tech Village?
