Through the new Digital Consortium, the associated health systems and Aegis will focus on co-creating an ecosystem of interrelated companies, designed by health systems for health systems, to address fundamental clinical and operational challenges.  

AI and automation, underpinned by deep healthcare expertise, will be central to the consortium’s ventures. 

This initiative builds on a three-year partnership between Northwell Health and Aegis Ventures.  

Their collaboration has so far led to the development and expansion of four companies specialising in patient engagement, workflow automation, women’s health, emotion analytics and AI-enabled diagnostics. 

According to Aegis Ventures, this partnership has set a precedent for health system-led innovation. 

Northwell Health president and CEO Michael Dowling said: “Together, we’ve fast-tracked the creation of cost-effective, validated solutions that solve important challenges across our enterprise and can now be replicated with health systems across the country. The Digital Consortium harnesses health systems’ collective expertise to foster groundbreaking solutions, redefining healthcare delivery for the better.”
