An Innovation Pipeline Powered by Collaboration
Innovation happens when brilliant minds come together. That’s why we partner with industry leaders, startups, academic institutions, and internal innovators to co-create the future of care. With Providence’s reach and relentless focus on impact, we scale what works—so every patient benefits. Together, we are stronger.
Approximately 805,000 Americans have a heart attack each year.
605,000 of those are first-time heart attacks.
Roughly half of all heart attack deaths occur within the first hour.
About 80% of trials face delays or closure due to recruitment problems. Furthermore, studies reveal that only a small percentage of eligible patients participate, with one widely cited statistic suggesting only 5%.
However, this 5% statistic is based on a specific subset of trials and patient populations and may not accurately reflect the full picture, especially given the various factors influencing a patient's decision to participate.
About 20,000 genes influence your health. 1 in 4 cancers run in families, and 1 in 10 are hereditary.
Yet fewer than 7% of patients get vital genetic testing—rates are even lower for underrepresentd groups.
The Queue: Innovations in Early Development
The AI tools we are developing are bringing us closer to creating an individualized “digital twin” for patients. The tool will use AI to simulate treatment outcomes and help patients and doctors make informed decisions together about the next care steps.
We are partnering to build and test a digital AI toolkit to support and inform doctors. The toolkit will learn what decisions other doctors made when they successfully treated patients in a similar clinical situation.
An Ethical Approach to AI Transformation
Patient Centered
Developing data-driven tools that deliver better health for all.
Assist Not Replace
AI tools should never replace expert discernment. Instead, they should support clinical decision making by helping doctors gather and curate the complex data they need to make the right call.
Shared Decision Making
An AI tool shouldn’t try to tell patients what to do. Instead, it should provide information about the options in ways that help doctors and patients decide together what to do.
We’re Committed.
We're committed to ethical AI, which means we use an approach that keeps patients, doctors, and their relationships at the center of healthcare operations.
AI has the potential to transform the future of healthcare, but it’s important we get it right. We support the full R&D life cycle to help take ideas from conception to large-scale reach and broad impact:
Develop
Collaborate with Providence experts to develop, test, and deploy new innovations at scale.
Test
Use our real-world, whole-person, multimodal data and AI models to inform discoveries and personalize care.
Scale for Impact
Transformational alliances that leverage capabilities across partners to drive meaningful impact.
Doing the Right Thing, the Right Way
The Innovation Institute is not just driving clinical innovation—we’re doing it with purpose. Every breakthrough we pursue is rooted in one goal: to improve care for every patient. Whether we’re advancing precision diagnostics or launching proactive care models, we share our findings openly—because progress only matters if it’s accessible.
Our work is grounded in our values: health equity, population health, and a commitment to a better world.
Transforming healthcare through innovative research, strategic partnerships, and cutting-edge technology.
