The American Medical Association and Chicago-based healthcare incubator MATTER first forged a relationship in February, and now the two organizations are growing their collaboration by establishing the AMA Interaction Studio at MATTER.
The AMA Interaction Studio is located in MATTER's Chicago Merchandise Mart space. The studio is designed to facilitate collaboration between physicians and entrepreneurs in the healthcare space.
"Physicians and entrepreneurs are both passionate about transforming healthcare, and by working in tandem they can advance innovations that make the health system work better for everyone," said AMA CEO and Executive Vice President James L. Madara, MD. "The capabilities of the AMA Interaction Studio allow entrepreneurs to connect, in person and virtually, with a broad range of physicians to get a deeper understanding of the key challenges in patient care that can be resolved with advances in new technology."
