POC’s technology which is completely disruptive, allows medical diagnostics to be brought to people all over the globe especially in remote villages, and Tier-3 and Tier-4 cities. The data generated from tests performed in the remotest areas will be uploaded over the net / cell phone to the cloud and will be available for data mining to determine what medical conditions are generally an issue in which part of the globe primarily due to demographic differences (invaluable data for the pharmaceutical/biotech companies)  allowing the pharmaceutical/biotech companies to develop more personalized medicine catering to specific markets/geographies. An industrial design of the product to launch later this year in India.

Healthcare is an ever changing field in the US. Companies that understand healthcare better are the ones that will thrive in this rapidly changing environment. There is a lot of noise in healthcare so its very important for startups to cut through the noise and deliver value added services.

We are a big data health analytics company that provides real-time visual insights and analytics around population clinical risk and outcomes management. Our engine generates patient risk profiles so that healthcare providers can improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. Our typical clients are health systems and large physician groups. We help them with shared savings and captured bonus payments through improved quality outcomes.

What did TiE 50 award do for us?

A great prestige as our company was new to the bay area and the TiE platform enabled us to be heard and noticed. We could now hire and position our company in the bay area especially since our company is focused on scaling into multiple geographies within the US.

What did TiE 50 award do for us?

The TiE award has helped us get visibility in the USA. We’re a European-based company and have won multiple awards in Europe but not in the USA before. So it helped us be perceived as a serious player, also in the USA. With TiE 50 award, we can and will be expanding more aggressively in the US market in 2016.
