Chile Digital Transformation Committee (CORFO) launches platform to boost Digital Health entrepreneurship

Collaboratively, five associations and six public entities created COLABORATECH, which has more than 20 private institutions and 350 registered health entrepreneurs.

Through the Digital Transformation Committee, and the support of public and private health institutions, the Colaboratech platform was created, which through their web site (http://colaboratech.cl/) will connect health institutions and associations, as well as new entrepreneurs.

The platform offers online interaction and lines of support such as mentoring in innovation to look for health solutions. This aims to encourage the creation and acceleration of new Digital Health projects in the country.

One of the main objectives of Colaboratech has been to create its strategies focusing on patients, recognizing them as the most relevant actors in this kind of projects, bringing experiences both in health systems, as well as in other aspects of their daily life.

The purpose of this collaborative methodology is to close gaps between the population and encourage technological development and thus implementing new solutions in Digital Health, such as the boost for remote consultations or the development of mobile applications focused on patient health care.

The platform has five profiles for health entrepreneurs to choose the type of challenges that the public and private sector are looking to solve: Patient Entrepreneurs, Open Corporate Innovation Tractors, Advanced Talent and Collaborative Partners.

Several institutions joined the project, such as Fonasa, ProChile, Ministry of Health and ANID (National Development and Research Agency), in the private sector were joined by companies such as Microsoft and Amazon Web Services, among others.

This project was added to other Digital Health projects that have been implemented in Chile such as the Digital Hospital and the Telemedicine Unit of the University of Concepción.
