Embr Labs joins Innovators' Network at American Heart Association Center for Health Technology & Innovation

BOSTON, Sept. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Embr Labs, a Boston-based technology company, has joined the Innovators' Network at the American Heart Association's Center for Health Technology and Innovation. The Center is focused on building and fostering health technology relationships to develop innovative and scalable solutions.

The Innovators' Network is a consortium that connects entrepreneurs, providers, researchers, and payors. Members also have access to the Association's digital guidelines, recommendations, and best-in-class science as they develop digital health care technologies. Members collaborate with the Center in different ways, including the building of models for clinical outcome studies, lowering the significant cost of developing those studies independently, helping connect the science to technology, and providing evidence that a digital platform improves health care outcomes – a key concern for providers and payors.

"The Center aims to advance the rapid, efficient, and effective development of health care technology," said Eric Peterson, M.D., M.P.H., Vice Provost and Senior Associate Dean for Clinical Research at University of Texas Southwestern and volunteer chair of the Health Tech Advisory group for the Center. "It's incredibly encouraging to see Embr Labs leveraging this consortium to broaden and deepen their engagement in this arena."

"We are excited to join the Innovators' Network, as it will provide opportunities to connect with others innovating in the health tech space as we pursue our goal of addressing thermal comfort symptoms related to menopause," said Pamela Peeke, M.D., M.P.H., Chief Medical Officer at Embr Labs.
