Have an idea for a health care technology product?
Wellspring Worldwide and the Allegheny County Medical Society are
partnering to provide needed
resources for physicians working to convert their health care
technology ideas into profitable businesses.
Based in Pittsburgh, Wellspring is a global leader in technology
commercialization, transforming research
and creative endeavors into successful products.
It
brings together experts in entrepreneurship, software development,
hardware design and health care to
provide no-cost assistance in the formation of new companies in the
Pittsburgh region. These rapid
prototype and business development projects enable entrepreneurs and
inventors to make informed
decisions on the feasibility (business and technical) of entering or
expanding their business. The SEED
program launches entrepreneurs on the best path to create a prototype
or develop their final product.
Physicians will work with senior management at a company that excels in
introducing new innovations to
research institutions and hospitals around the world. Through the SEED

access to professional expertise that is often difficult to obtain as a
start-up.
There is no up-front cost to the program for innovators. Moreover, a
portion of the proceeds from
successful new companies will be donated to the Allegheny County
Medical Society Foundation to support
community programs.
