University of Utah Spark Health Innovation Lab (Salt Lake City). Leveraging a human-centered approach, the Spark Health Innovation Lab allows students to design solutions for a better healthcare experience. The lab came out of the 2011 University of Utah Patient Experience Think Tank, during which a student suggested creating an "ecosystem of innovation at the U with a patient-centered focus." Technology Venture Development, Eccles Health Sciences Library and University Hospital helped launch the lab, which contributes to projects including preventative medicine and cataract surgery education.
