A new partnership between New York-based Mount Sinai Health Network and Edison Nation Medical will bring medical devices and consumer-related healthcare inventions to market.
Edison Nation Medical, a healthcare innovation marketplace headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., will work with Mount Sinai Innovation Partners, the health system's technology development and commercialization group, to match inventors, entrepreneurs and universities with potential manufacturing partners with MISP's clinical tool and medical device innovations.
The partnership aims to expand innovation outside the laboratory to deliver ideas and concepts that will positively impact public health.
"MSIP is excited to introduce Edison Nation Medical to our institution," said Erik Lium, PhD, vice president of Mount Sinai Health System and executive director of MSIP. "It is a great opportunity to engage with additional stakeholders outside of the traditional research environment who contribute to our innovative culture and have a positive impact on the future of healthcare."
Added Robert Grajewski, president of Edison Nation Medical, "Leading research institutions like Mount Sinai generate a significant volume of high-quality innovation….We're thrilled to work with MSIP to help them efficiently translate devices and consumer related healthcare products from concept to marketplace."
