Founded in 2011, Healthbox spun out of Sandbox Industries in 2014 and grew from a healthcare technology accelerator into an innovation consulting and venture fund management firm.

Over the years, Healthbox partnered with 160-plus healthcare technology start-ups worldwide. It partnered with Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Healthcare to establish The Foundry, a caregiver entrepreneurship program. Healthbox’s innovation teams also work within health systems to enhance care delivery and services.

“In HIMSS, we have found a kindred spirit with a similarly bold vision: ‘better health through information and technology.’ Truly ‘better health’ will come through reinvention,” wrote Neil Patel, president of Healthbox, in a HIMSS blog.
