Patient Advocate Foundation’s Project Innovation
Advancing access to medical and social innovations through patient-centered care
Spirit of Innovation
Project Innovation achieves its goals by co-creating programs with our community partners, advocates, patients and health care providers. We utilize qualitative and quantitative data drawn from extensive patient base, The Patient Insight Institute and our outreach programs to deepen our understanding of what matters to people living with cancer and develop tools and resources to improve communication and shared decision making between patients and their providers.

As advocates, we ask: how can we bridge the gap between cutting-edge medical innovations and serving the actual patients we work with?
The answer lies in co-creation. At Project Innovation, we believe that research must be co-created with patients, who likewise must be equipped with the skills to communicate their needs and the space to design the solutions that work for their own communities.
