Building on a long history of advancing the integration and creative application of health care and information technology (IT), Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has established the Health Technology Exploration Center (HTEC), a novel entity focused exclusively on bringing BIDMC's technological prowess to the rest of the world.

This prestigious center, the first of its kind at a Harvard teaching hospital, will extend the medical center’s international reach through formalized affiliations and technological advances that will be used to transform the medical landscape, making care more efficient, accessible, and integrated. HTEC experts will rapidly evaluate and develop emerging high-risk, high-reward technologies to bring innovation to BIDMC and disseminate advances to HTEC partners around the country and across the globe.
