TechSpring
What Got Built

Seventy-two projects, all of them real

Every one ran inside a live, operating health system rather than a demo environment. That was the whole premise: prove it works where it will actually be used, with the people who will actually use it. A handful of the projects that made it into public view are below.

2020–2021

Remote maternal health monitoring

With Babyscripts

A two-arm program covering a low-risk midwifery practice and a high-risk hypertensive population, using remote blood pressure monitoring through pregnancy and after birth. Funded by an FCC CARES Act grant and the Amelia Peabody Foundation's first healthcare IT investment, and live in about six weeks under pandemic pressure.

2020

AI-powered predictive analytics

With InterSystems and DataRobot

An integrated platform pairing data management with predictive AI, tested here before wider deployment to health systems nationally. The value of a proving ground is that someone finds the problems before a hospital bets on the answer.

2020

Clinician charge capture

With PatientKeeper

A FHIR-based charge capture app built into Cerner workflows rather than bolted alongside them, so clinicians could complete the task without leaving the screen they were already working in. A small change in the right place, which is usually where the value is.

2018

Interoperability development environment

With InterSystems

A development environment for working on the unglamorous, essential problem of getting healthcare systems to talk to each other.

2015

Predictive analytics and telehealth

With Dell Services

An early partnership in TechSpring's first full year, testing what predictive analytics and telehealth could do for patient care well before either became standard vocabulary.

2015–2016

Collaborative care platform

With Twine Health

A collaborative care platform piloted in a live clinical environment, testing how well it actually fitted the way care teams work rather than how well it demonstrated.

Six of seventy-two. Most of the work never got a press release: internal projects, workflow redesigns, pilots that taught us something and stopped, and the steady Living Lab engagements that filled the years between the headlines. If you worked on one, tell that story and it will have a card here too.
