October 2020 – Patientory

We’re super excited to announce that Patientory won the 1st grant prize for the Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) Open Innovation Challenge organized by Novartis.

We were awarded for our unique approach of using blockchain to share health information between patients and providers to enable better tracking of symptoms and disease progression for a disease that waxes and wanes. Enabling more seamless virtual communication between patients and providers is increasingly important, especially in the current COVID Pandemic!

About Patientory

Patientory empowers healthcare systems, providers, and consumers with a single, secure application for sharing healthcare data, providing unprecedented insight into each patient’s health and resulting in better, healthier outcomes. Patientory’s applications provide increased insight into an individual’s health management and empower people to make better decisions, coordinate between care providers, and receive better care overall.

As the world continues to recover from a global pandemic that has swept communities with staggering speed, entrepreneurs across the nation are using their ideas, innovations, and creative minds to generate long-lasting solutions to the challenges that confront us.

That’s why earlier last year the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), and SEED SPOT teamed up to create Pitch for Purpose, a pitch competition recognizing mission-driven founders whose startups are leveraging technology to change the world. Through the competition, they wanted to elevate social entrepreneurs’ important role in the pandemic response and provide access to resources as needed to help scale the impact.

Patientory was invited to apply for a chance to win a $15,000 cash prize and gain access to mentorship from industry leaders, as well as a national platform to showcase our solution.

After much effort, we are excited to announce that we were one of the finalists for the 2020 Pitch for Purpose competition.

About Pitch for Purpose: Pitch for Purpose is held in conjunction with the third annual Digital Empowers Summit, which will convene leading business and community leaders, technologists, and changemakers to set the tech-for-good agenda for the ‘next normal.’ The conference is free and open to the public.
