Horizon Technologies
Overview
The goal of the Horizon Technologies Working Group is to nurture and identify emerging diagnostic technologies that have the potential to impact the current COVID pandemic, and to help accelerate their deployment.
We will work with researchers to help them better understand current unmet needs so they can better target their efforts. In addition, we will evaluate the most promising new technologies, and help connect their developers with the resources needed to translate this work to have a real world impact (e.g. through validation, scaling, etc.). There is a tremendous amount of creativity and energy in our research community, and we are excited to help funnel this into solutions that will have an impact on the current crisis.
