Healthcare leaders: join us to help shape New Mexico’s future.
Here’s everything you need to know about joining the Health ImpACT Challenge—what's involved, how it's structured, and what you'll walk away with.
To request information only. We don’t sell your info or route you into vendor outreach.
Participation Details for Healthcare Organizations
Health ImpACT brings healthcare organizations across the state into one peer‑led effort to set priorities, compare notes, and explore startup technologies that can strengthen care delivery and operations in New Mexico—while building a first‑of‑its‑kind health innovation pilot network across the region.
It is designed for New Mexico healthcare organizations that want to:
Stay close to emerging technology without standing up a full innovation department (or to get extra support for an existing team)
Explore new innovation models such as co-design, incubation, or venture‑style partnerships
Learn alongside peers navigating similar workforce, feasibility, and operational constraints
Test startup technologies when there’s a clear fit, with structured support and shared infrastructure
Help shape what health tech innovation looks like in New Mexico
This program works whether you are an independent clinician, health system, clinic, health plan, FQHC, tribal health organization, or specialty provider, and it is built to be flexible and respect the realities of time, implementation readiness, and long‑term sustainability.
Our Role
HealthInno is the innovation studio backbone for this work, so your team can focus on priorities, fit, and decisions—not logistics.
What we handle:
Coordination and facilitation
We organize peer convenings, compile feedback, translate technical claims into clinical context, and keep timelines on track.
Startup outreach and vetting
We pre-screen startup technologies, surface only the most promising options aligned to NM priorities, and handle all vendor coordination.
Pilot design and scoping
Working with your team, we help define time-bound pilot projects, success metrics, and planning—afterward, we document outcomes and summarize learnings.
Example Innovation Pilot Process
1. NM healthcare names a priority
Between-visit monitoring
Primary Care is looking for practical ways to stay connected to patients between visits and after discharge, especially when chronic conditions and transitions require closer follow‑up.
2. We issue a call for solutions
HealthInno curates a short list of promising solutions
HealthInno and its Advisory Council use our market and clinical expertise to pre‑vet ideas from startups, researchers, tech transfer offices, and other partners, narrowing to a short list of solutions that appear feasible and well‑suited to New Mexico. These teams present at regularly scheduled sessions, where participants can react, provide feedback and decide which solutions to explore further for pilots.
3. A participant sees a promising solution
Amplifier Health
An AI‑powered voice analytics platform that analyzes short speech samples to surface potential health condition signals, supporting remote check‑ins and clinician follow‑up when needed.
Solution Category: AI-powered voice biomarker technology
Focus Area: Voice-based monitoring, early detection, remote monitoring and screening support

4. Participants decide whether to pilot
If a solution looks promising, a participating organization can opt in to a structured pilot, with HealthInno supporting the startup and healthcare team as needed.
Duration
8–12 weeks
Population:
50–100 patients in a defined cohort
Success Metrics:
follow-up visits, positive predictive rates
This example is illustrative. Actual priorities, partners, evaluation design, and outcomes will vary.
What Participation Involves
Participation is designed to be lightweight and flexible, with most touchpoints handled virtually.
Time commitment:
2–4 convenings per year (virtual or hybrid): Priority-setting sessions, startup review meetings, and peer debrief discussions
Estimated 5–10 hours total across the year for priority input, review feedback, and decision discussions
If you pilot: An additional 10–20 hours for internal coordination (clinical champion, IT/ops lead, and data/outcomes contact), depending on scope
What's optional:
Hosting a pilot is completely optional. You can participate in priority-setting, providing feedback to startups, and review without ever piloting.
Pilots only happen when there's a strong organizational fit, leadership buy-in, and clear success criteria.
Who's typically involved:
Executive or innovation lead point of contact for strategic decisions: you'll lead the conversation with peers, review promising startup technologies alongside other health system leaders, and gain hands-on exposure to early-stage diligence practices—evaluating founders, assessing use case fit, and providing feedback to startup teams
Clinical champion (if piloting): Frontline clinical perspective, workflow fit, and patient safety considerations
Operations or IT lead (if piloting): Implementation feasibility, integration complexity, and vendor coordination
Data or outcomes contact (if piloting): Metrics definition, data advisory, and evaluation support
What You Walk Away With
Even if you never host a pilot, participation in Health ImpACT gives you:
-
A seat at the table where New Mexico's health innovation priorities are set, ensuring your organization's constraints and needs are represented.
-
Hands-on experience reviewing startups, assessing fit, and providing feedback—building internal capacity to evaluate future innovation.
-
Direct relationships with other NM healthcare leaders navigating the same technology, workforce, and feasibility questions.
-
Supported assessments of what new technologies can and can't do in New Mexico settings—so you can make smarter, faster decisions.
Example Use Cases
ACT stands for Advanced Computing Technology.
It’s a State priority. For Health ImpACT, that means practical digital tools like software, data, and automation that can strengthen care delivery and access in New Mexico settings.
