Introducing Inflect Health: A Catalyst for Better Healthcare

A new physician-led, more inclusive hub of innovation.

When we think about inflection points, we think about pivotal times when old ways of working or living rapidly shift. They pave the way for accelerated innovation. They illuminate the pathway towards a better future.

We’ve reached such an inflection point in healthcare and health technology. We may still be on the path of our individual health journeys, but a wave of forward-thinkers are changing the trajectory of how we receive and deliver that care. A paradigm shift is inevitable. But to make this change a reality requires innovation and intent. It’s in this spirit to be a catalyst for change in the healthcare space that we’ve created Inflect Health.

Somewhere in the past 50 years, patient outcomes and experiences have been back-burnered by layers of bureaucracy, and the prioritization of profit over patients. Receiving quality care and bringing solutions to market is difficult, needlessly hard, and impacts patients’ lives and the physicians charged with facilitating health and wellness. Layers of solutions have been band-aids. That’s just not going to cut it anymore.

The future of medicine, care and health delivery is not just ripe for disruption, it’s increasingly personalized, accessible and human.

That’s where we come in. As a healthcare innovation hub, Inflect Health has spun off from our parent company Vituity to form a new investment partnership. With our unparalleled reach and power of a known quantity in care, but with a startup ethos of a venture capital firm, we’re agile, yet robust. We’re a robust healthcare team — including practicing physicians — providing guidance and financial support to early-stage healthcare and healthtech companies, focusing on those building promising solutions to address the needs of today’s evolving healthcare landscape.

“[We are] not your typical accelerator, we’re a patient-focused innovation hub, and it is Vituity’s healthcare footprint and history, coupled with our people, passion and experience, that allow us to partner with just about anyone to innovate and deliver better care,” says Inflect Health President and Vituity Chief Operations and Innovation Officer Andrew Smith.

“We’re committed to solving community-based problems … and having providers try the technology one doctor, one patient at a time and couldn’t be more excited to help deliver innovative healthcare technology solutions, optimized and accessible for all.”

At our core, we’re driving seamless connections between innovators in the health tech space, the capital to bring their work to market, and the physicians and patients who rely on their game-changing breakthroughs to deliver high-quality, next-generation care.

Although technological innovation drives the accessibility of health, it takes people to make it possible. That’s why we pride ourselves on being a hub for capital, innovation, doctors, patients, health systems and regulators. With our robust access to frontline providers, health systems and industry players, we connect capital to innovators to physicians to act as a catalyst for real-time, real-world innovation and disruption unlike anyone else.

Getting the right technologies to market saves and improves lives. Doing it with a personal touch, drawing upon our experience with knowing what doctors and practitioners on the front lines really need, can make all the difference.
