What an insightful article in Vator’s “Meet the VC” series about Aegis Ventures co-founder and managing partner John Beadle, and the company creation platform built to partner with health systems!   The partnership between Northwell Health and Aegis Ventures has resulted in the development and launch of several healthcare companies, including Caire, Ascertain and Optain.   Aegis will be expanding its scope by working within an expanded healthcare system ecosystem through its Digital Consortium. We believe healthcare systems are best suited to understand and prioritize the changes needed in healthcare, and possess the knowledge and know-how to fix these problems head-on. Through our partnership with Aegis, Northwell Holdings has been able to explore creating these solutions on a commercial scale so they can be utilized by organizations across the healthcare landscape. The advent of the Digital Consortium marks an important milestone for how health systems can co-develop solutions and unlock the value inherent in our collective enterprises to drive catalytic change and improve care delivery and better support the efforts of our coworkers.
