Optum Global Solutions (India), a part of UnitedHealth Group, is setting up Optum Startup Studio in partnership with the International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIIT-H).
The studio is to identify innovative ideas and startups that can help accelerate value delivery by seeking solutions to some of healthcare’s challenges. The launch is an expansion of the programme in the U.S. and Ireland.
A startup accelerator and support for fast-track pilots with relatively mature startups, which already have market-ready solutions, are two key components of the programme. The accelerator will mentor India’s promising health tech startups to rapid maturity, Optum said in a release recently on launch of the studio.
