FLATIRON HEALTH
Flatiron Health was established in 2012 to change the way cancer care providers collect their medical files. The company supplies cancer-treatment centers with tools used by doctors for tracking patients’ progress and finding out what heals and what doesn’t. Flatiron’s software allows medical cases to be shared with researches to provide supplementary data.
One of the key points was when a co-founder’s 7-year-old cousin was detected with Leukemia. However, the boy was misdiagnosed twice and got four bone-marrow transplants. Because of the incompetence and mistreatment of medical issues Turner discovered a big gap in how patients data was being analyzed to treat cancer patients.
‘He's a wonder kid. He made it! He's done great. But his dad asked me [...] "A few hundred kids get this every year. What drugs do they get, and do they work? I can't find any information.’
Nat Turner, Co-Founder at Flatiron Health
Having investigated the oncology industry, Turner and his business partner Zach Weinberg noticed that most oncologists were deprived of the basic data analysis tools that other specialists used daily. Their platform enables institutions to track their compliance with national cancer care guidelines, strengthen documentation, and select eligible patients to clinical trials online.
The company has raised $313M in total funding. In February 2018, Flatiron Health was acquired by a pharma giant Roche for $1.9 billion.
‘As a leading technology company in oncology, Flatiron Health is best positioned to provide the technology and data analytics infrastructure needed not only for Roche, but for oncology research and development efforts across the entire industry. A key principle of this is to preserve Flatiron’s autonomy and their ability to continue providing their services to all existing and future partners.’
Roche Pharmaceuticals CEO Daniel O’Day

THRIVE GLOBAL
‘Seventy percent of U.S. employees–and 96 percent of senior leaders–say they feel burned out. The numbers are similar the world over. And we actually know how to stop it–by changing the way we work and live.’
Arianna Huffington, Founder and CEO at Thrive Global
Created in 2016, Thrive Global is focused on health and wellness information. The startup describes itself as a “corporate and consumer well-being and productivity platform”. In less than one year, it has formed partnerships with industry-leading giants by offering companies and their employees sustainable workflow-enhancing solutions. To date, Thrive Global has about 30 clients, such as JPMorgan, SAP, and Hilton. As of 2017, the company has raised $37M in total funding.

In addition they offer a vacation email tool, called Thrive Away, that automatically deletes new letters while users are away. The app also lets senders know when they will be back in the office.
‘Technology is an incredible servant but a terrible master. What is a 'like'? A 'like' is the most superficial indication that someone cares for you. It takes a second to like a picture. People become obsessed with how many likes their picture gets and they come back for that. These are all tools that play on our own needs for validation and hook us. And the only way to counter that is to treat them as tools and not masters’
Huffington
CALL9
Call9 is an alternative to calling 911 implemented in Skilled Nursing Facilities. It specializes in reducing unnecessary visits to emergency rooms by people who address 911 most frequently.
Thus, in an emergency context, SNF nurses or patient’s aids use the Call9 app to connect with an on-call emergency room doctor via video chat. If the nursing home employees can help the patient themselves, the doctor will give detailed instructions regarding what to do and prescribe the needed medication. However, they will send an ambulance if it’s truly a critical condition.
Dr. Timothy Peck, founder of Call9, took an unusual step to push his startup forward. He moved into a nursing home in Long Island and lived in the conference room for three months in 2015. In return for housing, Peck dealt with the sickest patients and communicated with the nursing home staff to better understand their needs. He tried to find opportunities for residents to get necessary care without visiting a high-cost emergency room.
Peck adapted a medical cart system to handle telemedicine consultations and developed an iOS app to reach Call9 health care. The company also offers special equipment, like portable electrocardiographs.
The software decreases ambulance calling by over 50% for patients in SNF by bringing the emergency department to the bedside. Call9 makes money on charging a subscription fee. The company has raised $34 million in venture capital financing from investors like Y Combinator and Western Technology Investment.
