We’re here to support you every step of the way as your company grows. Through the Business Front Door, we can make your business journey in Massachusetts a successful one. Learn More Massachusetts is home to a variety of cutting-edge research and development facilities or "sandboxes." These organizations provide a wide range of services supporting the lifecycle of validation and testing for digital health companies. Startups can learn more about the services sandboxes can provide and explore which sandboxes can support your work on the sandbox capabilities page . Launched in 2019, the Digital Health Sandbox Program is administered by the Massachusetts eHealth Institute (MeHI) at the MassTech Collaborative and designed to both support digital health companies in their product development and expand the user base for sandbox environments. Many small digital health companies would benefit from the services offered by sandboxes, but the cost of entry is often prohibitive. There are a variety of opportunities for digital health companies to access funding to work with a sandbox. Sandbox Challenge Program The Sandbox Challenge Program identifies and supports digital health companies with solutions that address key health care challenges in Massachusetts. Once a year, MeHI will put out a call for applications to source, support and validate solutions in defined areas. Selected entrepreneurs will participate in Mass Digital Health Connects , a virtual workshop program, and will be matched with one of the sandboxes within our network. At the end of each program, participating entrepreneurs will pitch for the chance to win funding for concrete research and development projects with their sandbox partner. Challenge 4: Primary Care Innovation The Primary Care Innovation Challenge focuses on digital health innovations that address urgent issues in primary care, specifically in the areas of administrative burden, workforce burnout and patient access. Challenge finalists will compete for $300,000 in grant funding to support validation projects with MeHI’s Digital Health Sandboxes. Applications are now closed. Learn more about the Primary Care Innovation Challenge here . Challenge 3: Advancing Health Equity in Massachusetts (AHEM) This Challenge was divided into four tracks, all aimed at meeting the AHEM Initiative's goals of eliminating racial, economic and regional disparities in health outcomes.
