Disease Prevention & Cures
Disease Prevention & Cures
Together we can rid the world of disease.
Heart disease. Cancer. Stroke. Obesity. Diabetes. Six in 10 U.S. adults have a chronic disease. These diseases, which accounted for tens of millions of deaths in 2016, are already within our power to treat or cure. Through basic apps run on smartphones, people can follow healthy diets and schedule recommended screenings. The bottom line: If a cure exists, it should exist for all, and health tech has the potential to be that democratizing ingredient. A moonshot to cure disease is about access, but it’s also about discovery. Groundbreaking advances in machine learning are increasing our capacity to understand the drugs we’re making, and how they will affect our bodies. This, in turn, is opening the door to faster cures and targeted medicines for rare diseases.

Podcasts
This week we wanted to break from our typical format and introduce you to four inspiring founders from the StartUp Health portfolio.
This episode is excerpted from an on-stage Health Transformer discussion that was held at the StartUp Health Festival @ ViVE in Miami Beach in March. You’ll hear from André Diamant, PhD, CEO & Founder of Gray Oncology Solutions, about how they’re improving efficiency in cancer care. Jill Angelo, CEO & Founder of Gennev, talks about how they’re improving women’s health in their post-reproductive years. Yair Saperstein, MD, CEO & Co-founder of AvoMD, explains how they’re crowdsourcing knowledge in order to put the best decision support tools in the palm of the physician’s hand. And finally, Tom Tsang, MD, CEO & Co-founder of Valera Health, explains how his company is bringing comprehensive mental health services to the virtual healthcare ecosystem.
The session was hosted by Lauren Schafer from StartUp Health. In addition to sharing the moonshot missions of each of their companies, they talk about changes seen in health innovation due to COVID’s impact, their biggest messages for partners and investors, and more.
