What's Happening?
Maven Clinic has launched a new research institute aimed at advancing digital health through collaboration and research. The institute is based on Maven's extensive evidence base measuring the impact of
virtual care on women's and family health. It aims to serve as a platform for partnerships across academia and industry, expanding the scope of health research. The institute will also support the Visiting Scientist program, allowing researchers to contribute to studies that inform care delivery. Maven's first Clinical Impact Report highlights significant outcomes, such as reduced c-section risks and NICU admissions, demonstrating the effectiveness of virtual care.
Why It's Important?
The establishment of Maven's research institute is crucial as it addresses the growing need for rigorous evaluation of digital health solutions. With the rapid adoption of telehealth, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding what works in digital health is essential for improving care quality and effectiveness. The institute's focus on health equity and collaboration with prestigious partners like Harvard Medical School underscores its potential to set new standards in digital health. This initiative could lead to better health outcomes and more sustainable digital health practices.
What's Next?
Maven plans to continue publishing its Clinical Impact Report regularly, consolidating high-level outcomes to inform best practices in digital health. The institute will likely expand its research collaborations and studies, further contributing to the understanding of digital health's impact. As digital health continues to evolve, Maven's research could play a pivotal role in shaping policies and practices that ensure equitable and effective care delivery.
