The Atlantic speaks with Anurag Mairal, director of technology solutions at PATH Health Technologies, about PATH’s “wor[k] with the commercial sector to scale, distribute, and market its innovations.” Mairal’s “approach includes disruptive innovation (disrupt the global health system by changing the cost equation, moving away from a grants-based approach to a commercial-approach) and developing a market for said innovations,” according to the news service, which profiles several of PATH’s innovations, including a test for river blindness, vaccine vial monitors and freezers, and female condoms, among others (Chhabra, 8/7).
