The collaboration entails the creation of the CREST-Microsoft Health Innovation Hub, which will be fully operational by mid-September 2016.
The digital health hub will provide complete, end-to-end services for developers, start-ups and researchers looking to co-innovate and co-sell their solutions, all within the category of health. This starts from conceptualization to creation, and the commercialization of the product domestically.
The hub will focus on five core virtual health scenarios – Tele-health, smart access, remote patient monitoring, drug adherence, and corporate wellness in order to expand access to healthcare, while reducing unnecessary hospital and clinical visits.
