On June 16, the Health Moonshot community gathers at Civic Hall in New York City for the Civic Health Forum, a day of dialogue, demos, and deal flow across the most ambitious frontiers in health. Our Innovator Spotlights will feature founders building real traction against some of the biggest challenges in human health, from brain health and cardiometabolic care to caregiving, mental health, oral health, and access to care.

Here's a preview of a couple of the many Health Transformers you'll meet at the Forum, each representing a different Health Moonshot.

Members of our Health Moonshot Communities are leading startups with breakthrough technology-driven solutions for the world’s biggest health challenges. Exposure in StartUp Health Media to our global audience of investors and partners – including our podcast, newsletters, magazine, and YouTube channel – is available to StartUp Health Members.
