Sharks Snag VA Pittsburgh Innovations

Two health care innovations developed at VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System are among VHA’s 10 Promising Practices for 2022 following the annual Shark Tank Competition at the Innovation Experience (iEX) Conference.
VHA’s annual iEX conference and Shark Tank competition showcase VA employee-developed innovations that improve Veterans health care. During this year’s Shark Tank Competition, VAPHS’s two teams were among 14 finalists who presented their innovations to other VISNs and medical centers — the sharks — for possible adoption.
