Health Research & Innovation

Health research and innovation is the catch-all R&D department for healthcare. While some new developments are made in real-time during care, some entities are trying to get ahead by developing new healthcare technologies now, while also putting resources toward studying human health over the course of a lifetime, along with environmental and social factors in health. The No. 1 school on this list is Harvard University. The Health Systems Innovation Lab is Harvard’s center for studying new ways to optimize healthcare. The lab conducts research in over 60 countries, and besides its research in global health systems, the lab produces policy recommendations based on those findings.

The top honorees in health research & innovation are:

1. Harvard University

2. University of Pittsburgh

3. Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science
