Health

The health challenges we face are complex, connected, and constantly changing. Innovative technologies struggle to reach marginalised communities, funding remains fragmented and inefficient, and systems wait for perfect evidence, delaying opportunities to save lives.

There's no easy ways to overcome these kinds of barriers. Progress needs to incorporate systemic change.
‍
At Brink, we catalyse progress on these preventable issues by leveraging multiple system entry points: From unblocking regulatory and market barriers so innovations can scale, bringing stakeholders together to create competitive markets that work, and designing rapid experiments that turn learning into action.

Three critical challenges we're committed to tackling

Unlocking health tech for the marginalised

Innovative health technologies often fail to reach the most marginalised due to regulatory, procurement and distribution barriers. As a result, smaller players struggle to scale, leaving outdated systems in place that overlook vulnerable communities.
‍
We drive local market development by unblocking barriers to growth and, as a result, create solutions that are locally relevant, scalable, and deliver lasting impact.

Building local healthcare markets

Healthcare funding is fragmented by multiple actors and lack of effective coordination. This weakens buying power and hinders the development of competitive, efficient markets that can effectively address preventable health issues.
‍
We bring ecosystem stakeholders together to align on priorities and leverage collective funds. Designing funding models that strengthen supply chains and incentivise demand, to create a thriving market where solutions can scale.

Enabling timely action with evidence

Health systems often wait for perfect evidence before adopting innovations; delaying action, increasing costs, and missing opportunities to save lives now.

We bring ecosystem stakeholders together to share insights, design experiments to test and learn in areas that haven't been explored, and iterate on solutions together at speed. As a result, we eliminate the need to reinvent the wheel and enable faster, more effective action.
