TechSpring offers startups four programs, each suited to address specific needs:

  • Insights: Participants receive valuable feedback from real world healthcare professionals and patients.

  • Analytics: Participants propose an innovative project and execute it as with full access to Baystate Health data.
  • Interfaces: Participants work in collaboration with Cerner, Intersystems, and Dell to build the digital health IT infrastructure of tomorrow.

On June 13, 2017, TechSpring received a second round of funding from the Massachusetts Digital Health Initiative in order to further advance its mission as one of the state’s leading digital health innovation labs. The Commonwealth’s $80,000 grant for TechSpring will go to support for digital health start-ups, including mentoring, strategic partner matching, targeted education, co-working spaces, start-up accelerators, and other programming. It’s strategic partner in Boston, PULSE@ MassChallenge, received a similar grant for $170,000.
