The Healthbox team is thrilled to welcome 10 exciting healthcare startups to Chicago for the inaugural three-month program, set to begin today! This diverse group of companies comes from both coasts, the south and midwest (and Ireland!). Their users and customers are health plans, hospitals, doctors, patients, caregivers, researchers, pharmacies, retailers and employers.
Over the next three months, the startups will receive support from our fabulous mentor network and strategic partners, developing ideas and testing assumptions at our new space in River North (750 North Orleans). Healthbox and its partners have developed a unique curriculum that will help these companies improve their product offerings and get ready for serious growth.
We hope the Built in Chicago community will join us in welcoming these 10 companies to Chicago (and showing them why there is no better city for health tech innovation). Without further ado, this year's class:
CareHubs (Beaverton, OR) is a healthcare enterprise social platform that offers dynamic, innovative tools to help patients and healthcare providers better connect, coordinate and engage.
CareWire (Minneapolis, MN) is a patient engagement solution that utilizes automated patient text messaging to increase billable appointment yield, visualize patient satisfaction in near-real-time and improve provider performance.
Corengi (Seattle, WA) connects qualified patients with ongoing clinical research studies through a comprehensive online platform. Patients are able to quickly distill relevant studies, trial sponsors are able to reduce costly delays and medical innovation is accelerated.
DermLink (Atherton, CA) is a cloud-based, HIPAA-compliant application that enables remote diagnosis of dermatology cases, dramatically reducing wait times for patients while driving increased revenue and flexibility for providers.
Iconic Data (Norcross, GA) delivers a cloud-based patient list manager solution that provides physicians access to near-real-time snapshots of clinical care episodes across disparate, non-integrated facilities, resulting in increased charge capture and reduced inefficiencies.
PaJR – Patient Journey Record (Dublin, Ireland) uses a cloud-based system with machine learning capabilities to identify patients at high risk of readmission using patient and caregiver self-reported health status.
PUSH Wellness (Chicago, IL) is an outcomes-based wellness incentive provider that drives behavior change in health factors that are meaningful, measurable and modifiable, producing tangible benefits for participants and employers.
SwipeSense (Evanston, IL) is hand-washing 2.0, arming healthcare providers with a portable hand-sanitation device in combination with real-time data analytics in order to increase compliance and reduce hospital-acquired infections.
The Coupon Doc (Atlanta, GA) provides an easy-to-use, centralized platform that allows consumers to access manufacturer discounts on their prescription and OTC medications.
UnitedPreference (Princeton, NJ) offers a Tailored SpendTM payments network that improves member participation in preventative health initiatives via nationally accepted prepaid cards that can only be used to purchase goods and services pre-determined by health plans and employers.
