(peppercloud.com).

How It Works: Clients interact over text with in-house coaches and get non-stop support to improve their nutrition, exercise and lifestyle habits: agreeing weekly goals, asking questions anytime, getting feedback on progress and discussing pain points. Our coaches provide proven behavioural support which can’t be automated. Our tech automates key coaching practices to streamline human time and to ensure remaining human tasks can be performed by more affordable, Fitmate-certified coaches. Each coach can thereby superscale a client base who otherwise can’t afford this service, whilst providing personalized support & accountability never experienced before. Outcome: Fitmate clients pay 80% less to access behaviour change support provided by human coaches, are 8x more likely to retain and 2x more likely to lose weight compared to weight loss apps and similar.

The risk of dying in the 30 days after surgery is 1,000-fold higher than intraoperative risk. The 30 days after surgery, if considered a disease, would be the third-leading cause of death in the United States. General ward respiratory failure is common, profound, and prolonged. We are looking to dent this substantial cause of morbidity and mortality with our AI engine powered by our medical-grade contactless radar sensor, clinic software, and proprietary algorithms.

Nabta Health (nabtahealth.com) discovers new ways for women to prevent, identify and manage non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The growing epidemic of NCDs threatens the ambition of countries around the world to achieve sustainable, universal access to health and universal health coverage for their populations. NCDs also leave populations more susceptible to communicable diseases such as COVID-19. Moreover, NCDs remain underesearched and underserved in women. Until the mid-1990s, clinical research and clinical trials largely excluded women. Today, women using drugs that were approved pre-1994, are 50–75% more likely than men to suffer adverse reactions to those therapies. Ironically, a significant proportion of the drugs in this category are those designed to treat or manage NCDs. Examples include statins and potassium channel-blockers used to manage cardiovascular disease or hypoglycaemic drugs such as Rezulin used to control diabetes. Standardising and personalising the ways in which women identify and manage NCDs in the context of their own lifestyles and health goals, and through the use of applied machine learning and Artificial Intelligence, will improve clinical outcomes and make cutting-edge healthcare affordable and accessible for all women. Nabta’s unique model of hybrid healthcare seamlessly combines digital health with traditional healthcare to improve health outcomes in women living with NCDs. Nabta’s first hybrid care pathway supports women in preventing, identifying and managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a hormonal disorder responsible for 70% of female fertility issues. Women who use Nabta’s platform will be able to obtain a formal diagnosis of PCOS within 90 days versus the global average of 2.5 years.
