Numbers
In the Discovery Phase, we have…
Convened over 150 system users to elevate components of an ideal future technology solution
Engaged more than 35 innovation and technology companies to hear the perspective of system users
Commitments
Review and judge a cohort of companies matched with you based on your area of interest or expertise
Each judging window is open for around 3-4 weeks. Each company takes an average of 30 minutes to review. There are two rounds of judging. Applications are reviewed in the platform/portal.
Participate in a Judging Consensus Meeting at the end of each round
As each Judge has only reviewed a segment of the total number of companies, this event brings our Judges together to review and discuss the total pool and make final decisions collaboratively on who will advance to the next round.
Participate in the Challenge Speed Vetting events
These events provides an opportunity for Judges to meet Challenge companies, learn more about their solutions, ask questions, and provide feedback.
Attend the Prime Health Summit October 21, 2026
Join us to hear the announcement of the companies and solutions moving forward with pilots.
Participating as a judge does not mean you are required to host a pilot. No commitments related to pilot hosting occur until the final round and are at your discretion.
