BRIGHT stands for Bridging Research Innovation Globally in Health Technology. BRIGHT International is a global network of professionals dedicated to propelling the translation of scientific innovation into clinical application. Science in the 21st century is evolving at an exponential pace. However, practice, diagnosis, and treatment strategies in healthcare often fail to align with the most cutting edge science. To this end, we identify challenges, propose solutions, and generate actions to enable a more effective and streamlined implementation of health research at a regional and global scale. We have a dedicated team of research analysts from across four continents, which focus on a theme each year in health innovation. By examining policies, health systems, and translation processes, we aim to discover the strengths and challenges of each region to facilitate mutual support and advance the health innovation process globally.
