Introduction
• 18 health tech startups
– A variety of applications interesting for differing reasons
• Slides contain overview and insights
• Click on image to visit startup website

cellscope
Parents can check a childs ear,
via iPhone otoscope, when an
infection is suspected and
upload video for clinician analysis
• Interesting to see if this will
catch on
• Limited US availability currently
• Price is fairly low at $79 with
one free doctor consultation –
then you start paying for
clinician interpretation

DermLink
One of the range of tele-
dermatology services available.
Dermatology, due to its visual
and surface nature has high
potential for remote management
• How long before DrOnDemand
offers a telederm service and
disrupts these specialist
telederm companies?
• This sector of medicine must
be ripe for consolidation. There
are many fragmented offerings in this space

ZIPNOSIS
24/7 online diagnostic tool for
common (and minor) medical
conditions
• Differs from traditional
telemedicine as often a simple
symptom questionnaire is all
that is required to get a
prescription for your fungal
infection
• Promise a response within the
hour and an instant prescription

Ginger.io
Uses a range of data from your
smart phone, such as
movement and frequency of
communication to assess
physical or mental issues. It
can alert you and family
members / care givers to help
address these issues
![Page 7: 18 Interesting Health Technology Startups](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a76d521a28abee438b4642/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
FLATIRON
Only 4% of cancer patients are
in a clinical trial. Data for the
rest is largely lost. Flatiron
aims to bridge the gap by
transmitting patients data to
one place in the cloud and
offering real time analytics
![Page 8: 18 Interesting Health Technology Startups](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a76d521a28abee438b4642/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
AgileMD
AgileMD is a web and mobile
app that gives clinicians fast
access to guidelines, protocols, and reference information.
• The act of simply just sharing
information may well be useful
but appears limited when you
consider the potential use of
artificial intelligence in clinical
support and decision making
![Page 9: 18 Interesting Health Technology Startups](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a76d521a28abee438b4642/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
PROPELLER HEALTH
Sensor that attaches to inhaler
and provides contextual (time
and location) information
around attacks and
exacerbations
• Many pharma-co’s working on
similar inhalers
• Integrating with devices will
lead to greater adoption and
use
![Page 10: 18 Interesting Health Technology Startups](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a76d521a28abee438b4642/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mira rehab
Mira uses games to keep the
patient engaged and motivated
through physical therapy.
Patients can play games and
perform rehabilitating
movements at the same time
• Interesting approach where the
treatment actually becomes a
game
• Could be combined with a
community to introduce a
competitive element (A
Fitocracy model)
![Page 11: 18 Interesting Health Technology Startups](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a76d521a28abee438b4642/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
TickiT
Patients enter feedback about
the experience and their
medical condition in the waiting
room via user friendly iPad app
• Clinician can use data to
improve care
• Approach claims to improve
efficiencies
![Page 12: 18 Interesting Health Technology Startups](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a76d521a28abee438b4642/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Interesting approach to
incentivize children to be more
active

TrialReach
Essentially a clinical trials
database, easy to navigate and
search across a range of
conditions

PATIENTS KNOW BEST
The patient is put at the center
of their care and are the
gatekeeper to their information
and electronic records
• The principle: it is the patient
who turns up to all the
appointments across a range of
clinicians and they know best
about their care
• Opportunities for Pharmapartnership
![Page 18: 18 Interesting Health Technology Startups](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a76d521a28abee438b4642/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
OMsignal
Wearable clothing that tracks a
range of health and fitness
parameters
• Main claims around optimizing
athletic performance but has
potentially broader health applications
![Page 19: 18 Interesting Health Technology Startups](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a76d521a28abee438b4642/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SCANADU
Health ‘tricorder’ measures vital
signs by placing against the
forehead
• Interesting device – it seems
likely the future will be
measuring these vitals
automatically / with minimal patient effort
![Page 20: 18 Interesting Health Technology Startups](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a76d521a28abee438b4642/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Patient activated ECG machine
integrated with a smartphone as

hoc
• Main focus is Atrial Fibrillation
![Page 21: 18 Interesting Health Technology Startups](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a76d521a28abee438b4642/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
