AMA, Sling Health expand engagement with physicians and entrepreneurs

ST. LOUIS — With a shared commitment to advancing technical innovation that works for patients and doctors, the American Medical Association (AMA) and Sling Health, a student-run biotechnology incubator, today expanded their joint efforts to allow the voice and experience of physicians to inspire technologies that resolve unmet needs in health care delivery and clinical medicine.

The two organizations have launched the Clinical Problem Database to compile insights from physicians on needed improvements to clinical efficiency and patient care. These real-world experiences are shared with Sling Health’s network of young entrepreneurs to foster cutting-edge medical technology development with attention to the clinical challenges faced by physicians.
