Which are the up-and-coming technologies and which will have the biggest impact on health care over the coming year? The Cleveland Clinic's culture of innovation naturally fosters a good deal of discussion about new "game changing" technologies and which ones will have the greatest impact each year. The passion of our clinicians and researchers for getting the best care for patients drives a continuous dialogue on what state-of-the-art medical technologies are just over the horizon.

This app was primarily developed to share outside Cleveland Clinic what our clinical leaders are saying to each other and what innovations they feel will help shape health care over the next 12 months and over the previous years.

We use a rigorous process to gather the opinions of physicians and researchers, create a field of nominated innovative technologies for consideration, and develop a consensus perspective of what will be the Top 10 Medical Innovations for the coming year and for years past. Each year our team interviews more than 60 of the nations' top clinical and expire mental medical experts to elicit their nominations.

Additionally, The Cleveland Clinic Innovations App supplies the user with up-to-date information and real-time access to the many spin-off companies that were born of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation's commitment to transforming promising therapies, breakthrough devices and game-changing diagnostics into products that make the world a better, healthier place.
