The Harvard Innovation Labs recently announced how current and former venture teams are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many current venture teams are creating products and services that have the potential to reduce the spread of the virus, improve patient care, and create community when in-person gatherings are not possible. These services include free online childbirth classes by June Motherhood; Molecular Loop is exploring how its DNA sequencing technology can help labs test people for COVID-19; and Umbulizer is beginning to manufacture a low-cost portable ventilator.
There are also a number of former ventures that are pursuing inspiring initiatives. Buoy Health, for example, launched a free symptom checker for COVID-19, which is designed to help people understand whether they should seek care for the virus. The company recently announced a partnership with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
