A practical framework can help government, industry and healthcare partners use tech-enabled care delivery to help rebalance the system.


In brief
  • The healthcare industry is confronting a stubborn adoption gap. While innovation has exploded, real-world impact and scalable ROI have lagged.
  • Healthcare is moving into a true transformation through automated workflows, AI-enabled clinical decision support and digital-first care models.
  • The SciTech Scity Healthcare Innovation Engine unites state agencies, health systems, payers, corporations, investors and startups to pioneer a new model.

US healthcare is at a turning point. America faces an aging population, a worsening chronic disease profile, persistent workforce shortages and exorbitant cost levels. At the same time, policy shifts are tightening the squeeze. The likely rollback of Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, the Medicaid unwinding and new eligibility and reporting rules are leaving more people uninsured or underinsured. For hospitals, this means rising bad debt and thinner margins; for patients, delayed care and widening gaps in access.

Technology-driven health solutions have emerged to bridge growing gaps. Billions in capital have produced extraordinary tools, yet too few have achieved enterprise-level readiness and traction. Nearly 70% of US executives report they have yet to see a clear return on investment (ROI) from health tech startup solutions, even though 90% of them believe in their theoretical potential (EY Health Pulse Survey 2024).

 

We are now poised to unlock the promise of technology-enabled care delivery at scale.

 

The Healthcare Innovation Engine, the first statewide platform focused on deploying and scaling tech-enabled care delivery, will serve as a practical compass for the work ahead. The main objective of the engine is to help startups and established companies deploy and scale breakthrough technologies that deliver value to patients, businesses and society. Health tech startups can succeed by focusing on technical integration, alignment with evolving financial models and regulations, credible evidence of impact and organizational readiness.
