Sharp HealthCare Ventures
At Sharp, we're building on our legacy of excellence, driving health care innovation for future generations.
About Sharp Ventures
In April 2023, Sharp HealthCare formally launched Sharp Ventures, an innovation program with the mission of driving health care innovation through the incubation and commercialization of products and services that accelerate and enhance value-based care. This initiative aims to harness the power of data and technology to cultivate new insights, improve patient outcomes, and foster new ideas and start-ups.
Our vision is to facilitate collaboration among entrepreneurs nationwide and key leaders at Sharp toward the development, testing and implementation of innovations that transform patient care.
