We take the science and research addressing our communities’ most pressing needs and productize it to work with the business of healthcare.
We translate the latest medical research, in areas of pressing need, into desirable consumer experiences using a design approach that begins with the people we aim to serve.
We then build a sustainable business around our solutions to work within traditional, emerging, or informal health venues that serve our communities in need.
We apply philanthropic missions and their sources of capital to the early stage development of health solutions for communities in need.
We form strategic relationships between health pioneers and public health networks around real community needs.
We bring together human-centered and multi-disciplinary teams to build radical new offers with an entrepreneurial mindset.
We’ve developed a process that overcomes three crucial gaps when introducing new solutions into healthcare systems: the funding gap, the collaboration gap, and the capability gap.
Healthcare is not a rational system, but it is predictable –
driven by cost and ultimately paid for by government, employers,
and individuals. Our complex system in the US is in the midst of
tectonic changes. Yet the pace to deploy radical new
innovations to raise health outcomes is painfully slow. Not
because new innovations bring unacceptable risk to patients, but
because the risk of funding things no one has done before is not
well tolerated.
DesignRun’s way forward: We apply philanthropic missions and
their sources of capital to the early stage development of
health solutions for communities in need.
Advances in medicine are being developed at ever increasing
rates by pioneers across the healthcare ecosystem. Despite this
shared mission to improve healthcare, the practice of sharing in
that mission’s work remains intractable for many organizations.
Whether it’s the conditions for collaboration, the perceived
constraints, or the ownership of ideas, collaboration across
disparate players often loses sight of the bigger opportunity
for change.
DesignRun’s way forward: We form strategic relationships between
health pioneers and public health networks around real community
needs.
It is not a lack of ideas that keeps healthcare from radically
innovating. The heavy lift when doing things no one has done
before is in the ability to both develop great ideas into great
experiences, and to deploy those new solutions within capable
operating models. Unfortunately, most healthcare organizations
were built to deliver services, not create new ones. This
limited orientation narrowly defines emergent opportunities
while reinforcing old paradigms of care delivery.
DesignRun’s way forward: We bring together human-centered and
multi-disciplinary teams to build radical new offers with an
entrepreneurial mindset.
We are a multidisciplinary team experienced in healthcare innovation.
If you are a foundation or health organization serving communities in need
and struggle to advance your mission, we'd love to hear from you.
