Cedars-Sinai Health System and MemorialCare Health System are joining forces to form a venture-capital fund aimed at developing healthcare technology.

The collaboration -- which will be called Summation Health Ventures -- will be based in Long Beach, Cedars-Sinai and MemorialCare said in a statement Wednesday.

The fund “provides a valuable gateway for entrepreneurs to develop, refine and advance product development,” the statement said.

Brant Heise, Summation’s managing director, said the fund will give innovators access to both Cedars-Sinai’s and MemorialCare’s medical and technological know-how.

Cedars-Sinai and MemorialCare will have equal stakes in the venture. No financial information was disclosed.
