Mandate and remit
The HSS Innovation Institute develops and commercializes musculoskeletal healthcare technologies originating from Hospital for Special Surgery clinicians and researchers. Its work spans three domains: care delivery, covering digital health and data technologies; medical devices and instrumentation; and life sciences, covering drugs, biologics and research innovations. The institute pursues technology development, licensing, product co-development, strategic collaborations, joint ventures and spin-off companies. Its expertise areas include bone health and implant integration, inflammation and arthritis, joint preservation and regeneration, musculoskeletal pain, sports performance and rehabilitation, and data science and analytics. Outside companies engage through co-development agreements, licensing and joint ventures, with a meeting request pathway on the institute's innovation portal.
These routes appear in the program's sourced public record.
