Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare (JHAH), a collaboration between Johns Hopkins Medicine in the US and Saudi Aramco, an energy and chemicals company in Saudi Arabia, has announced a new opportunity for innovators in musculoskeletal care (MSK).
The call for applications, shared on LinkedIn by Tamara Sunbul, medical director of clinical informatics at JHAH, announces the search for “pioneering companies in the digital healthcare sector that focus on MSK care”, and digital solutions aimed at enhancing MSK health.
According to the announcement, solutions should be “at least at the prototype stage”, and should be potentially scalable.
In return, JHAH is offering innovators the chance of a collaboration, facilitating real-world testing within a healthcare setting, with successful technologies potentially having the opportunity to be adopted across JHAH’s network.
Those looking to apply will need to answer questions about their organisation and innovation, being prepared to explain the problem that it addresses, how it works, what makes it unique or “novel”, and who will benefit from it.
Innovators may also upload evidence, research, or additional documentation supporting their application when completing the short application form.
The deadline for submissions is the 6 June, 2024.
