HeathLoop (San Francisco, CA; founded 2009 by Jordan Shlain and Mike Kaplan) offers an automated patient follow-up solution that tracks patient recovery and improves outcomes by engaging patients with their doctor between visits. HealthLoop connects patients directly with their physician throughout their healthcare journey—before a procedure and after they go home. HealthLoop’s SaaS platform and library of clinical protocols provide an intelligent and simple follow up system—“the electronic housecall”. A physician prescribes a ‘loop’ which consists of reminders, questions and care instructions that feed back to their office. At each online check-in, the patient is oriented to timely ‘action items’ and answers clinical questions based on where he should be in the recovery process. Physicians and staff are informed if a patient appears at risk of a complication, treatment failure or hospital readmission.
Comprisma (Washington, D.C.; founded 2010 by Chris Dugan and Adam Pelavin) makes health insurance markets healthier by providing risk markets for health insurers to share risk with one another, reducing the uncertainty and volatility in aggregate policy experience.
