Le 10 migliori startup sanitarie che cambieranno il futuro

Advances in scienza dei dati e intelligenza artificiale are giving rise to a new wave of assistenza sanitaria startups that focus on analisi predittiva, medicina di precisione, enhanced scienze della vita ricerca e miglioramento della cura del paziente. La crescita del mercato della salute digitale è prevista a un CAGR del 13,4% tra il 2017 e il 2025, raggiungendo $536,6 miliardi entro la fine del 2025. Ecco 10 top startup sanitarie (in tutto il mondo) che stanno ridefinendo l'innovazione:

1. Salute SWORD
   You no longer have to be physically present for physical therapy — Porto/San Fancisco-based SWORD Health has developed the world’s first AI-powered digital physical therapist. After an assessment of rehabilitation needs, the clinical team prescribes a tailored programme which the patient can take home. A high-precision motion tracker is strapped on to the patient, which wirelessly communicates data to the virtual therapist. The digital therapist is then able to guide the patient through the correct exercises remotely, making sure that they are performed correctly.
2. Prognos
   With the ambitious aim of eradicating disease, Prognos (formerly Medivo) uses AI and advanced data analytics to help predict disease at the earliest. They have a huge laboratory network with access 13 billion patient records, and this data is enriched before AI is applied to it for actionable insights. This registry helps identify patients at risk and develop tailored treatment plans. Prognos also provides a solution for payers, who can use analytics to assess risk populations/members and identify “care gaps”.
3. Salute Flatiron
   Flatiron Health is an oncologia-focused electronic health records (EHR) company that aims to accelerate cancer research and improve patient care. They offer an EMR system that reduces time and cost, an analytics platform that helps derive relevant insights from data, and a service that screens patients for eligibility for studi clinici.  They work with hospitals, community clinics, academics and scienze della vita companies. Backed by Alphabet, the company was bought over by Roche in early 2018.
4. Fertilità moderna
   Questa startup di San Francisco offre un test degli ormoni della fertilità che le donne possono fare a casa. Devi solo fare un semplice test al dito e restituirlo per posta per un rapporto approvato dal medico sui tuoi ormoni e un profilo di fertilità. L'azienda è partner di Quest Diagnostics, che ha più di 2000 centri negli Stati Uniti. Fondata da due ex dirigenti di Uber e 23andME e lanciata a Y Combinator, l'azienda ha raccolto $6 milioni a maggio 2018.
5. DayTwo
   California-based DayTwo analyzes your gut microbiome, based on which it offers personalized nutrition advice. You provide a stool sample and a blood test result, the company profiles your gut microbiome at the genetic level, based on which it recommends what foods  you should and shouldn’t eat. It secured $12 million funding in 2017 from Johnson & Johnson, Mayo Clinic, and other investors.
6. Babilonia Salute
   UK-based Babylon Health enables users to have virtual consultations with doctors and healthcare professionals through video/audio and text messaging. It’s AI-powered chatbot can make recommendations and diagnoses, and aims to be an alternative to the NHS’ 111 service. Its investors include DeepMind’s founders; the company raised $60 million in 2017 and claims that its AI system is on par with human docs. Not too long before we start consulting AI GP’s!
7. Arterys
   Yet another company tapping into the power of AI, Arterys calls itself “the AI assistant to radiologists”. This San Francisco-based company offers an FDA-approved oncology AI software that helps radiologists measure and track tumours in MRIs and CT scans using a simple browser — and the aim is more accurate, faster cancer recognition. The software uses deep learning to detect lung and liver lesions, with an accuracy that’s equal to segmentations performed by human experts. Arterys completed a series B funding of $30M in 2017.
8. Feebris
   This London-based company provides in a mobile application that enables community-based diagnoses in the elderly and in children (under 5). It uses data collected from digital stethoscopes and wearables. Intelligent algorithms extract insights from this data and drive diagnosis and disease prediction. One of their main applications is the detection of childhood pneumonia through a digital stethoscope which connects to the Feebris platform. Feebris won the Big Ideas competition in April 2018 and was awarded £10k funding and RGAx mentor support.
9. DrDoctor
   DrDoctor, con sede nel Regno Unito, aiuta i pazienti a prenotare gli appuntamenti nelle cliniche, intercettando le cancellazioni dell'ultimo minuto. Identifica automaticamente gli slot non occupati negli ospedali e li offre ai pazienti in lista d'attesa. DrDoctor è partner di vari ospedali del NHS ed è usato per prenotare oltre 4 milioni di appuntamenti all'anno. Ha ricevuto 15K sterline l'anno in cui è stata fondata, nel 2012, e ha ottenuto un finanziamento NHS nell'aprile 2018.
10. PatientSafe
    Questa startup di San Diego si concentra sul miglioramento delle comunicazioni cliniche e dei flussi di lavoro per una migliore cura del paziente. La loro piattaforma PatientTouch combina testo, conversazione, dati EMR, avvisi e altro ancora, in un'app mobile. I dati in tempo reale (che sono prioritari) aiutano a garantire che la decisione giusta sia presa e che la cura giusta sia consegnata al paziente giusto. L'azienda ha chiuso un round di finanziamento di $25 milioni nel 2017.

Healthcare is an industry in which a huge amount of data is generated as well as collected every day. With the help of data science, apprendimento automatico and AI, we are now able to analyze this data and extract meaningful insights which will pave the way for bigger medical innovations. With the digital revolution taking over, the industry continues to grow at a furious pace.
