- SAP unveiled this week its healthcare-focused accelerator program at SAP.iO Foundry New York with the selection of seven health IT startups.

SAP.iO will provide the startups access to SAP technology and application programming interfaces (APIs), mentorships, and opportunities to collaborate with SAP customers.

The SAP.iO Foundry New York cohort includes the following startups:

  • Bravely connects healthcare employees with professional coaches for confidential conversations and helps human resources leaders improve productivity and retention.
  • Droice Labs is an artificial intelligence (AI) company specializing in understanding real-world clinical data to help physicians provide better care to their patients. Droice uses natural language processing methods while working with providers, payors, life sciences companies, and government bodies.
  • Hindsait offers a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that applies AI to large healthcare datasets, helping payors and providers improve patient health and reduce costs.
  • MeQuilibrium is developing a SaaS-based engagement and performance platform that harnesses behavioral psychology to improve workforce performance.
  • MyMeds improves medication adherence with an engaging digital platform and content, reducing costs for payors while producing better outcomes for their members.
  • SilverCloud Health enables employers and healthcare organizations to deliver clinically validated mental health therapeutic care through an intuitive platform, helping to improve outcomes and increase access.
  • Time Study employs machine learning and predictive analytics to automate hospital time submissions, tracking, and reporting. The results enable providers to meet compliance requirements for areas such as Medicare and grants.

“SAP is committed to improving the quality of healthcare and employee health and wellness through technology,” said Vanessa Liu, head of SAP.iO Foundries North America.

“In keeping with our other New York cohorts, all startups in this cohort are founded or led by women and diverse entrepreneurs, a testament to SAP’s belief that a healthy ecosystem includes entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds and supported by the SAP.iO No Boundaries initiative,” Liu concluded.
