Case Study: Bridging Public Health and Private Sector Innovation

The Challenge:
Public health leaders faced challenges in collaborating effectively with private sector technology companies, particularly startups, to improve maternal and child health outcomes. Barriers included limited understanding of private sector approaches, misaligned priorities, and unmet needs that hindered collaboration. They sought guidance to think more holistically about these partnerships and explore opportunities to address existing gaps.

Our Approach:
We worked closely with public health professionals to identify barriers and unmet needs, while fostering collaborative discussions to uncover potential solutions.

The Result:
Public health leaders gained a deeper understanding of how to work more effectively with private sector technology companies. By addressing barriers and focusing on unmet needs, they identified opportunities for collaboration that could drive innovation and improve maternal and child health outcomes. The facilitated discussions laid the groundwork for future partnerships and a more integrated approach to solving public health challenges.
