IHE Open Innovation Platform

The IHE Open Innovation Platform™ is an online crowdsourcing or “ideasourcing” tool used to collectively solve health care policy challenges. This tool encourages members to submit ideas in a structured, moderated fashion around key areas of interest. Because members are made up of a broad range of stakeholders, including patient and clinician groups, government, and academia, a wide range of ideas and potential solutions are submitted. Ideas are then discussed and strengthened with additional contribution and refinement, and translate into tangible actions, as well as inform policy discourse.

Two IHE Open Innovation Platforms are currently live – the IHE Life Sciences Open Innovation Platform™, and the IHE SCN Open Innovation Platform™. Additional topics will be covered by future campaigns as the community matures.
