The UCSF Rosenman Institute announced today the startups selected in “UCSF Rosenman ADAPT,” a competitive global program for startup companies developing solutions to increase healthcare efficiency. Bold, ConsejoSano, EMME, GroupWell, Oshi, Vynca, and Woebot were selected for their innovative approaches and market promise.
ADAPT is sponsored by three leading U.S. healthcare payers: Echo Health Ventures, Express Scripts, and UnitedHealth Group. The program enables the payers to access innovation and boost the startups as they scale up their technologies. The selected startups will collaborate with the sponsors, who have each chosen one company to further support with $150,000 cash. The ultimate result of the program will be new solutions delivered to market to benefit patients across the US healthcare system.
“Healthtech startups often face a long path to deliver their solutions to patients,” said UCSF Rosenman Institute Director Christine Winoto. “ADAPT enables these companies to access patient populations much earlier. The program connects these selected companies to major payers with tremendous market reach, who are proactively getting involved in innovation.”
