The Health Tech Accelerator is a year-long, cohort-based program providing $5,000 to $75,000 in funding, expert advising, and project management to accelerate innovative health technologies. It supports technical and commercial de-risking activities, including prototype development, clinical and regulatory strategies, and milestone planning. Participants gain access to industry experts and an invite-only Penn Health-Tech Boot Camp to position projects for follow-on funding and broad healthcare impact.
Lead applicants must be faculty or staff at the University of Pennsylvania or Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Projects must be based on Penn or CHOP intellectual property. Collaborators may be external.
