Invest in digital health, A conference that brings together innovative investors, outstanding industry participants, and the most promising digital health startups in the healthcare sector, scheduled to be held from September 20 to 23, and Medical alley. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it will be virtual this year.
The conference will highlight various aspects of digital health from the role of digital twins in life sciences, remote patient monitoring and reimbursement, ethical considerations of artificial intelligence in healthcare, and a series of panel discussions. To view the agenda, click here.
But it will also focus on digital health startups in the Pitch Perfect competition. The judges will listen to introductions and questions in three areas: family health, technologies to improve the operational efficiency of payers/providers, and chronic disease management and value-based care. A winner will be selected from each track and they will be interviewed by MedCity News.
The Family Health Tracking Program will be held on Tuesday, September 21st, 3:30-5 pm Central Time. The judges include:
- Ian Chiang, principal, Flare Capital Partners
- Lili Huang, NEA Principal
- Nickolas Mark, Managing Director and Partner of Intermountain Ventures
Here are the finalists:
CardioMedive A medical device for remote patient monitoring is being developed. The discreet and easy-to-wear patch continuously measures vital signs and a complete list of hemodynamic parameters. Its solutions respond to society’s emerging needs for new ways to provide medical care for a large number of people with convenient costs and high quality.
Antique health Provide end-to-end healthcare IoT solutions designed to help healthcare organizations eliminate the complexity of integrating, managing, and troubleshooting healthcare IoT devices.
Echo range Develop wearable bladder monitoring equipment and analysis to effectively self-manage incontinence.
Real-time indicators The wristband is the only non-invasive, cuffless device that can continuously measure blood pressure with ICU-level arterial line accuracy anytime, anywhere. By reusing MEMS sensors used in aviation, the company designed what it describes as the world’s first continuous, non-invasive, arterial pressure wearable technology. It combines the ability of MEMS sensors to measure actual radial artery pressure with an artificial intelligence enhancement platform to bring home ICU-level monitoring and provide 24/7 accurate blood pressure readings. Less than 7% of blood pressure monitors have been verified for accuracy. LiveMetric claims that it has the only blood pressure monitor that is highly correlated with ICU-level A-line. This is especially important because providers must rely on self-monitored blood pressure (SMBP) readings to design patient care plans, because AMA/AHA no longer recommends checking home readings in the office. AHA & AMA recently released a new SMBP code to compensate suppliers, hoping to reduce the barriers associated with widespread adoption of SMBP. Passive night/day reading will increase participation.
Orbike Technology It is a digital health company focused on reducing serious cardiovascular events and mortality through the use of innovative medical Internet of Things (IoMT) medical devices. These devices provide differentiated clinical data that complement the existing data of cardiovascular patients, and Helps optimize the treatment of their condition. Orbicor’s approach to cardiovascular health is to popularize access to clinical-level data by developing technologies that allow patients to measure critical data at home, store them online, and remotely share them with their doctors.
