Healthcare innovation starts with an observation

The Innovation Exchange Platform is purpose-built for Mayo Clinic staff, combining AI guidance, institutional resources, and expert connections to move clinical ideas forward.

How it works

From first thought to funded idea.

01

Describe your idea

Tell the platform what you've observed. No forms, no jargon. Just describe the clinical problem you see and what you'd want to change. Any Mayo Clinic staff member can start a conversation.
