Our Story: From Insight to Implementation
​
The Innovation Discovery Center (IDC) was born from a simple realization: in healthcare, research alone isn’t enough. It takes execution to drive change.
IDC began as the implementation arm of HealthTech Center, a member-based research group that provided in-depth analysis on emerging healthcare technologies. HealthTech delivered insights—through forecast reports, clinical trend briefs, and technology assessments—that shaped how health systems viewed the future.
But the gap between insight and adoption remained. That’s where IDC stepped in.
Built to turn strategic insight into real-world solutions, IDC launched with a focus on rapid implementation—helping hospitals, payers, and innovators bring healthcare breakthroughs to life. From deploying early digital tools to supporting high-impact technology pilots, IDC earned a reputation for moving fast and building what matters.
That same spirit continues today, but the tools have evolved.
Now, IDC focuses on AI-powered healthcare innovation—building copilots, clinical platforms, and personalized programs that work within existing systems. Fitgenetix, one of our earliest ventures, applied this model to genomics and chronic care. Today, our work spans oncology, cardiology, pulmonary care, and more.
What started as an execution partner for HealthTech has become a launchpad for real-world healthcare transformation.
