The Cedars-Sinai Acceleratorprogram will greet its 10th accelerator class, featuring 10 innovative health-tech startup companies from the United States and aroundthe globe.
During the three-month program, participating companies will have the opportunity to network and seek mentorship from more than 300 clinicians, executives and resources across Cedars-Sinai.
Participants will receive personalized guidance, support, and exposure to a vast network of healthcare entrepreneurs, investors and advisers to help navigate the companies' healthcare solutions to the next level.

Each group is bringing technology solutions that have the potential to help us deliver healthcare to our patients in a more efficient and cost-effective manner," said James Laur, JD, chief executive, Intellectual Property and Health Ventures, and co-founder of Cedars-Sinai Accelerator.Companies in the accelerator's 10th class are working on various innovative technology-driven healthcare solutions, including software that detects heart disease early, a program that mines data to improve or predict health outcomes, and monitoring devices that provide real-time feedback remotely to promote telehealth.

Each participating company will receive an investment of $100,000 to bolster its product growth and vision.
At the end of the three-month program, as part of Cedars-Sinai's Demo Day, entrepreneurs will present their products and share their progress at the HLTH Event 2024 conference in Las Vegas to an audience of potential investors, startups, government and healthcare policymakers, health-tech consumers and journalists.
