Digital Health CT, the new digital health (or medtech) accelerator run by Startupbootcamp<\/a>, recently announced its inaugural cohort in Hartford. The 10 chosen start-ups exhibit a diverse range of health care technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), process automation, personalized medicine, and virtual health.<\/p>\n

The teams, selected from hundreds of start-ups by a selection committee that included Trinity President Joanne Berger-Sweeney, relocated to Hartford in November for the three-month accelerator program, which gave them the support, resources, and industry and investor connections they need to help grow their businesses. Along with support from Startupbootcamp, the teams gained access to an extensive range of partners, mentors, and investors from across the accelerator\u2019s global network.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe digital health domain is exploding with opportunity right now, and I feel confident that we are positioned to support serious entrepreneurs in hitting the market fast and hard,\u201d said Gerry Roston, managing director of Digital Health CT. Sonia Cardenas, interim dean of the faculty and vice president for academic affairs, noted that the accelerator \u201cwill provide cutting-edge opportunities for our students, exposing them firsthand to the world of start-ups.\u201d<\/p>\n
