OSF HealthCare's OSF Innovation

Whether through its co-founded Chicago-based incubator MATTER or partners like provider-led Avia, Peoria, Ill.-based OSF HealthCare's OSF Innovation focuses on incubating and engineering clinical ideas. The innovation program has its own OSF Ventures unit, which invests primarily in companies' Series A and B funding rounds.

In 2018, OSF Innovation piloted its Epharmix program, which contacts chronically ill patients through text messages or phone calls with checkup reminders. Of the 200 patients in the pilot, about 70 percent enrolled in the program, and 78 percent of enrollees actively engaged with the platform.

In September, OSF Innovation Center's Brightwater Medical, a stent manufacturer, was acquired by Merit Medical. It was the first exit of a venture capital-funded project by OSF Innovation and a milestone for OSF Ventures.
