Institute for the Future Health Technology Center

The Health Technology Center (HealthTech) was a non-profit research and forecasting organization based in San Francisco, California, that operated from 2000 to approximately 2010. Founded by Dr. Molly Joel Coye and sponsored by the Institute for the Future (IFTF), the center was a leading authority on emerging healthcare technologies, providing strategic forecasts and impact assessments for health systems and payers. Its research focused on the intersection of technology and healthcare delivery, covering areas such as digital health, genomics, and remote monitoring. The organization played a crucial role in shaping national healthcare policy through its contributions to the Institute of Medicine's quality and safety reports. Following its closure, its mission of healthcare innovation was carried forward by its leadership in various executive and advisory roles across the industry.
