About Us
Established in 2016, the UCHealth CARE Innovation Center, located on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, is revolutionizing health care delivery. Our partnership with the CU School of Medicine creates a comprehensive platform of resources that only a national academic medical center can provide, including intellectual assets, real-time data and world-class studies with real results. The UCHealth difference is in our DNA: entrepreneurial, quick-to-market innovations that eschew bureaucratic red tape. We designed our innovation platform to cut through the predictable obstacles that encumber other large academic organizations, so our partners – and eventually people all over the world – benefit.
Why Partner With Us?
Our collaboration with the CU School of Medicine and the financial backing of our $100 million venture capital fund mean that the CARE Innovation Center offers the resources to lead the future of medicine.
We leverage virtual teams for in-home telemedicine, which included over 1,040 virtual stroke consults last year alone. We are the sixth-largest biobank associated with a health system in the U.S., having garnered 72,000 patient consents, 31,000 blood samples, 14,000 genotyped samples and 11 confirmed American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) incidental findings. We have not just the desire but the backing to deliver news in the health care space.
“Our industry integrator concept allows UCHealth to be plugged in at the point of innovation by physically housing a health care innovation ecosystem in a single location – allowing entrepreneurs, technologists and clinicians to collaborate through the entire process of innovation.”

Methodology
Our applied science decision lab allows us to develop, validate and optimize next-generation solutions. We benefit from the innovative – things that are new to us but not new to the world: We work with early-stage companies delivering solutions that show promise but that need additional development and validation. And we benefit from innovation – things that are new to us and new to the world: We welcome the opportunity to co-develop ideas, intelligence and solutions.
