We were thrilled to have Project W alumna Rachel Mertensmeyer, CEO and founder of Rivia Health, return for WEB | Health Tech. Rivia Health uses empathy driven technology to bring ease and efficiency in the healthcare payments industry for patients and provider organizations and to alleviate the burden of medical debt in the United States. 

It was wonderful getting to know Rachel Brown, co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Titan Intake, at WEB l Health Tech. Titan helps practices and health systems reduce referral leakage and improve surgical yield through referral workflow automation, communication, and data.

We loved spending time at WEB | Health Tech with so many incredible founders like Lori Arakaki, co-founder and CEO at Opticyte. Opticyte is developing a noninvasive medical devise to monitor blood and cell oxygenation, with the advantage of eliminating bias due to skin tone.  

It was a delightful getting to know Liza Ray, Head of Operations of Synthesize Bio, at WEB I Health Tech last week. Synthesize Bio uses cutting edge AI technology to accelerate R&D for life sciences and pharmaceutical companies by reducing data collection and analysis from months to minutes for a fraction of the cost in time, personnel, and materials.

It was wonderful meeting Jen Flexman, PhD, MBA, COO and co-founder of Moneta Health at WEB | Health Tech. Moneta has developed a solution, using a combination of therapists and an on-demand AI voice assistant, to help older adults with mild cognitive impairment and early dementia think, feel, and function at their best.

We loved having Sanna Gaspard, PhD, the CEO and founder of Rubitection Inc. back for another Project W program – this time WEB I Health Tech. Rubitection’s skin health and care management system improves assessment, detection, and care management of dermatological and vascular conditions.

We loved getting to know Devina Desai, CEO and co-founder at Kinometrix Inc at WEB I Health Tech. Kinometrix is a patient safety platform that replaces manual risk assessments by leveraging machine learning and electronic health record data to provide accurate, real-time risk assessments.
