Designate your areas of expertise and interest and we will filter applications to find relevant matches best suited for you to evaluate. Interests are set per program that you are reviewing.

To get started, from your Innovator Pro dashboard, click on "expertise and interests" as show in the image below. Once set, your interests will appear on your dashboard.

If you choose not to set your interests, we will assign applications at random.

For each program you have access to, you will see three numbers:

From the Innovator Pro dashboard, click on the underlined numbers indicating your assigned applications.

Reviewing multiple programs? Access each program through the relevant dashboard card. Assignments are separated by program.

Once you click on a number above, you'll navigate to the Application Review dashboard where you will see a grid/table of applications for review.

After expanding the Application for review, you will see Application Details on the left and Your Review panel on the right.

Your review will automatically save as you complete each question. You will see a confirmation pop-up notification at the top. Please confirm the autosave is working as intended before your first review. See the "Saved" green checkmark example below.

If you see an application assignment that is not relevant, is a personal conflict of interest, or otherwise do not want to review then you can press the unassign button shown below in the "Your Review" grid.

Once clicked, you'll be prompted for your reason of unassigning and you can choose to replace it with a new application which will be automatically added to your dashboard.

Please do your best to complete all of the multiple choice options in the scoring section. If there is a question that you do not feel informed enough to answer, please do not answer it. Use the metrics below as a guide to keep in mind when reading applications.

IMPORTANT: Your answer to the questions: “Is this in your company’s areas of interest” & "Should this company should be selected to pitch in-person" will inform our decision about whether the company is invited to pitch in-person or online.

Let us know if you were previously aware of the company. This helps us benchmark the utility of the MedTech Innovator program in identifying new opportunities.

Provide some insight into why you think the company should advance to the next round or not. Your answer may address what you think are the strengths and weaknesses of the opportunity.

If there is additional information that you feel is needed to make a decision, please fill that information in the Additional Information box.

Provide any feedback or advice you have for the company. We will share these comments anonymously with the company.
