Sure, Johns Hopkins University is known for its medicinal prowess, but what better way to increase the university's influence on the health care sector than by cosponsoring an accelerator aimed toward spurring the growth of more health information technology companies.
Johns Hopkins announced its plans to work with DreamIt Health Baltimore on Wednesday, a four-month long boot camp for innovators in the health IT business. Teaming up with BioHealth Innovation and DreamIT Ventures, Johns Hopkins will be powering the accelerator designed to fast-track promising ideas aimed at solving problems in America and abroad.
