Description

Startups participating in Mayo Clinic’s Accelerate program get access to something that many health industry entrepreneurs could only dream of: reams of anonymized patient data from Mayo. Launched in 2022, the program is designed specifically for health tech companies aiming to leverage artificial intelligence for the future of medicine. Jamie Sundsbak, who previously ran the entrepreneurial nonprofit Collider Foundation in Rochester, says 32 companies have graduated from Accelerate since it launched, and he expects that number to increase quickly in the years ahead. 2025, he expects, is the year when the wider Mayo Clinic Platform—a multifaceted effort to advance the latest health technologies—will start to “bring real value to patients.”
