Welcome to the HealthXL Report for March 2015. Every month we get the opportunity to talk to
a wide range of innovative digital health companies. This report profiles a subset of these
companies that we have interviewed and see as the most exciting, because of their market
traction, innovative technology and new creative models for the delivery of care.
All companies featured in this report relate to the HealthXL Moonshots and Challenges. For the
purpose of this report, a brief of each of the HealthXL Moonshots and Challenges is provided
below.
HealthXL Moonshots
Big Data Moonshot
Accessing, integrating and applying disparate and new sources of data that has clinical
relevance to the caregiver. Improving health literacy and provide actionable data that
incentivizes the patient to engage and improve their own healthcare.
Connected Health Moonshot
Providing synchronous and seamless monitoring from conception to end of life regardless of
the time, place, person or device.
Behavior Change Moonshot
Millions of hearts beating younger, stronger and longer by informing consumers with more
reasons to be healthy, and engaging the support of peers, family, friends and work colleagues
in each others well being.
HealthXL Challenges
Heart Failure Challenge
To reduce avoidable hospital readmissions for heart failure patients through the
utilization of connected devices selected to suit the individual patients needs, combined
with behavioral modification and therapeutic interventions. This will enable better post
discharge monitoring of the patient and early intervention if exasperation is detected
using home care teams.
COPD Challenge
Build a COPD patient monitoring system utilizing the most effective connected health
devices to feed a predictive algorithm capable of early detection of patient health
deterioration. A predictive algorithm that is both sensitive and specific enough to
recognize the early onset of a hospitalization event should enable sufficient time to treat
the patient prior to the need to hospitalize thereby increasing the QOL of the patient
and reducing the number of “revolving door” COPD patients admitted to hospitals.
Clinical Trials Challenge
The model and costs for developing new drugs is unsustainable, currently costing $2.5b over a
10-year period. The aim of this Challenge is to examine all aspects of the clinical trials process
and identify areas that could be improved through the use of emerging innovations.
