Akiba Haiozi is a Swahili proverb that means “a person with foresight will always know prosperity.” AkibaH believes in giving people the foresight to see how their everyday decisions affect their greatest asset in the long term—their health. AkibaH is developing a patent-pending technology that takes all the components of a traditional glucose measuring system (i.e., glucometer, lancing device, lancets, test strips) and seamlessly integrates said components into a compact smartphone case that communicates with a companion application and physician dashboard. AkibaH takes the guesswork out of diabetes management by giving users and caretakers the ability to see how their decisions impact their health in real-time.

Employee unhealthy habits cost companies $570 billion every year. More than half the tab is productivity, absenteeism, and turnover. Tenacity is a peer coaching health and productivity platform that leverages the power of peer pressure by turning two of the employee’s friends at work into health coaches. The method was developed at MIT and shown in a randomized, control trial to be 4-7 times as effective as actually paying employees to work out.Large employers almost all self-insure. This means they are on the hook for employees’ health payouts, as well as even larger bills from turnover, absenteeism, workman’s comp and lower productivity and retention. Tenacity provides a subscription-based solution for companies on a per user basis.

Patient care in the hospital setting is complex, with as many as 10 people taking care of a single patient. Yet no effective tools exist for collaboration and communication among team members, leading to the majority of preventable medical errors. Yosko has created a mobile collaborative platform that streamlines handoffs, facilitates group instant communication and allows integrated access to the patient medical record. Yosko has been fully integrated and certified by a top EHR company.
