People in similar situations often draw towards one another in order to be able to relate with others who understand the impact of such situations. Healthcare is particularly susceptible to this phenomenon and Patient Innovation makes this possible. Patient Innovation is an online platform whereby patients and caregivers from all over the world can connect to share and create solutions they developed themselves or with the help from collaborators to cope with health-related problems.  

Through an easy to use online platform which is free for use they are able to connect creative patients and caregivers to share their innovative solutions with patients and caregivers who cannot find healthcare solutions elsewhere (or in the current systems and frameworks) and collaborators who partner up with the patients and caregivers to assist in the process of creating new healthcare solutions.

Since its foundation in 2014, Patient Innovation has received over 650 different healthcare solutions originating from over 40 countries worldwide. In 2016 Patient Innovation was awarded the title of Health Non-Profit/Charity of The Year by the Healthcare Startup Society. This widespread attention has resulted in backing from leading healthcare and pharmaceuticals companies globally such as Bayer, Pfizer, Novartis, and Janssen Pharmaceuticals.
