Healthy Bytes
Healthy Bytes enables dietitians to remotely monitor what, when, and where their clients eat. While this may sound somewhat alarming, in practice, users simply send photos of their meals to their dietitians, who then provide professional nutritional and health feedback via the mobile platform.
Limestone Labs
Limestone Labs can use ultraviolet light to disinfect and clean portable medical equipment in hospitals, addressing the risk of secondary infections acquired within healthcare facilities. The company charges a monthly fee of $200 for the cleaning and maintenance service of each device.
Moving Analytics
Leveraging mobile apps, data analytics, and telephone consultations, Moving Analytics facilitates post-discharge cardiac rehabilitation through remote monitoring. Nurses establish a foundational rehabilitation framework, which patients use to customize their own recovery plans; these plans are then downloaded into the app. These personalized plans not only guide patients’ post-discharge rehabilitation but also enable nurses to remotely track and monitor progress. Nurses maintain regular contact with patients to assess rehabilitation progress, adjust goals, or help formulate subsequent recovery plans. The company aims to help hospitals reduce unnecessary follow-up visits while empowering patients to manage risk factors and take better control of their health.
Signifikance
Signifikance can help doctors reduce the time required to analyze genetic variations in cancer patients. The primary approach involves automatically generating genetic testing reports, thereby assisting physicians in conducting large-scale genetic testing.
TapGenes
TapGenes has developed a tool that analyzes family medical history and genetic data to assess an individual’s risk of developing specific diseases and evaluate their health index.
