Innovative Approaches to Improve Maternal Health Workshop
Join NIH on Monday, May 8, and Tuesday, May 9, from 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. ET for a free hybrid event that brings together technology developers, medical device experts, small business innovators, implementation scientists, researchers, and academic, industry, and community-based partners to address technological gaps in reducing maternal mortality and morbidity (MMM).
The goal is to connect the research community with small businesses that are developing new approaches to improve MMM and its associated health disparities. Hosted by the NHLBI and sponsored by the NIH IMPROVE Initiative along with six other NIH institutes and offices, the workshop will be held in the Main Auditorium of the Natcher Conference Center in Building 45 on the NIH campus and will be videocast.
Topics include technology, clinical implications, community engagement, implementation, regulatory considerations, government funding, payors and investors, and more.
