DC to VC's batch of health startups: semen analysis, wearables & more | VentureBeat | Health | by Christina Farr
Summary
“This year it was reverse, we had more institutional investors (including venture capitalists) in the room than angels.” Eight finalists were chosen to present onstage, selected from over 100 applicants. The special guest was Dr. Farzad Mostashari, the recently departed head of the ONC, a Washington D.C.-based agency tasked with promoting the adoption of electronic health records. Based in San Francisco, Amplify Health enables primary care physicians to reduce avoidable healthcare costs. Their suite of products allow primary care groups to directly contract with self- insured employers, proactively manage patient populations, and perform data analytics that reduce total healthcare spend. With it, they empower society with information to track and stop the spread of disease, and simultaneously transform the way people care for their children, families and communities.
