Our judges represent a diverse pool of leaders with expertise and experience in a wide range of issues and perspectives in evaluation. Judges come from healthcare organizations ranging from some of the largest health systems to small rural practices, state and local government, payers, accountable care organizations, community-based organizations, foundations, venture capital groups, technology companies, advocacy groups, and more.

They evaluate digital health solutions based on a robust rubric of impact, alignment, sustainability, accessibility, design, clinical, business, financial, and technology rubrics.

Healthcare providers do amazing, life-saving work on razor-thin budgets. As such, we award $150,000 in pilot funding provided by The Colorado Health Foundation to cover the cost of technology.

That way, you have a risk-free opportunity to try it out, see if it works, and test the financial sustainability of the solution before you make any commitments. No financial contribution is expected from the host. Plus, you get a year’s technical assistance from Prime Health during pilot implementation.

We succeed when you succeed, and we’re deeply invested in making that happen! 

The innovation landscape is vast, complex, nuanced, and ever-changing. Our team lives and breathes it so you don’t have to. We help you navigate and understand these different solutions, brainstorm pathways for sustainability and new revenue generation, discuss which technologies are the best fit for your populations and goals, and whatever else it takes to ensure a good fit. If a specific solution might not be the best fit, we’ll also talk about that with you and why. The goal is to improve your and your patients’ lives, not to force pilots and solutions on you that don’t make sense.

We have a large cohort of participants from government, foundation, investor and payer sectors. They attend in part to hear from you about what works, what doesn’t, and what you need to achieve your goals. The Challenge process naturally creates a neutral, safe forum to collectively voice barriers related to reimbursement, funding, policy, regulation and other such considerations.

We know how to have fun. Healthcare is complex and challenging enough. It doesn’t need to be stiff, dry, or boring. Numerous studies also show that innovation, creativity, and learning improve when people have fun. As such, you can be sure that every Prime Health event will be positive, upbeat, and a refreshing break from daily pressures.
