Public description

About the program

Fuse was Cardinal Health's innovation lab in Dublin, Ohio, a purpose-built facility where cross-functional product teams and external partners rapidly prototyped healthcare technology and supply chain solutions with customers. It operated as an internal venture and product studio rather than a startup cohort accelerator. Reports and employee accounts indicate the Fuse operation has been substantially scaled back or shut down.
