PROBLEM STATEMENT
We are living in an era in which comprehensive, quality healthcare is largely unavailable to vulnerable populations due to factors such as age, location, conditions, and the high cost of many critical services.
TARGET SOLUTIONS

TELEHEALTH
Qualified solutions increase access to affordable, remote care for vulnerable populations, such as chronic care management, telestroke services, tele-ICU tools, e-visits, pharmacy services, diagnostic screening, remote patient monitoring, telepsychiatry, and opioid addiction care.
AGING IN PLACE
Aging In Place solutions use innovative technology to address health and safety issues faced by our senior population, such as, but not limited to: incontinence, UTIs, medication management and adherence, elopement, and wound care.
Relationship Facilitation
Upward Startups gain access to structured sessions with Challenge Partners, designed to identify and explore the most viable use cases and/ or proofs of concept as a basis for commercialization.
