16 healthcare innovators you should know

These 16 innovators are changing the face of healthcare. They are behavioral scientists, product leaders, academic researchers, statisticians, physicians, clinicians, strategists, experts in diversity equity and inclusion, implementation scientists, and tech leaders. They cross boundaries and repel traditional healthcare models. They are on the front lines and behind the scenes. And what they all have in common is their passion and commitment to innovation in health.

In my interviews with these sixteen leaders, I found they are redefining what it means to be an innovator. From uprooting systemic inequities to enabling paradigm shifts in research methods, from connecting with patients to designing delightful experiences, they are the ones making a difference in healthcare.
