ACTIVATE, a public-private initiative that works to bridge telehealth technology gaps in California’s Central Valley, has placed third in the Prime Health Innovation Challenge in California.

The competition, a collaboration between national nonprofit Prime Health and the California Health Care Foundation, featured 29 companies from around the globe. These innovators showcased their health solutions for a chance to partner with a California provider organization and receive pilot funding, with seven finalists participating in a live pitch event in July. 

ACTIVATE, which is short for Accountability, Coordination, and Telehealth In the Valley to Achieve Transformation and Equity, is led by Health Tequity, a digital health startup committed to equitable health solutions, in association with CITRIS Health, MITRE Corp., UC Davis and UC Merced.
