The Health Innovation Sprint unites Community Based Organizations, providers, payors, researchers, and innovators to co-design and accelerate patient-centered solutions — delivering real-world outcomes in under 9 months.

The Sprint rapidly activates field-informed solutions with real-world testing and development cycles that take months — not years.

The Sprint uses human-centered discovery to co-create solutions with community partners from the start.

The Sprint convenes multi-sector ecosystems to design, test, and scale together — no more working in silos.

We provide impact reports, videos, and data dashboards that showcase insights, community ROI, and strategic alignment.

DHIT’s Health Innovation Sprint engages across the ecosystem to leverage capacity to catalyze action.

Build a culture of health innovation focusing on community health issues by introducing human-centered design thinking methodologies to support patient needs.

Our Health Innovation Sprint increases opportunities for collaboration across industry partners and community. We develop a pipeline of ideas and solutions that can be rapidly prototyped, tested, and validated to facilitate the process of digital transformation and generate a force multiplier of impact.
