As 10 principais startups de saúde que irão mudar o futuro

Advances in ciência dos dados e inteligência artificial are giving rise to a new wave of saúde startups that focus on análise preditiva, medicina de precisão, enhanced ciências da vida pesquisa e melhor atendimento aos pacientes. O crescimento do mercado de saúde digital deverá crescer a um CAGR de 13,4% entre 2017 e 2025, atingindo $536,6 bilhões até o final de 2025. Aqui estão 10 startups de saúde de topo (no mundo todo) que estão redefinindo a inovação:

1. SWORD Saúde
   You no longer have to be physically present for physical therapy — Porto/San Fancisco-based SWORD Health has developed the world’s first AI-powered digital physical therapist. After an assessment of rehabilitation needs, the clinical team prescribes a tailored programme which the patient can take home. A high-precision motion tracker is strapped on to the patient, which wirelessly communicates data to the virtual therapist. The digital therapist is then able to guide the patient through the correct exercises remotely, making sure that they are performed correctly.
2. Prognos
   With the ambitious aim of eradicating disease, Prognos (formerly Medivo) uses AI and advanced data analytics to help predict disease at the earliest. They have a huge laboratory network with access 13 billion patient records, and this data is enriched before AI is applied to it for actionable insights. This registry helps identify patients at risk and develop tailored treatment plans. Prognos also provides a solution for payers, who can use analytics to assess risk populations/members and identify “care gaps”.
3. Saúde Flatiron
   Flatiron Health is an oncologia-focused electronic health records (EHR) company that aims to accelerate cancer research and improve patient care. They offer an EMR system that reduces time and cost, an analytics platform that helps derive relevant insights from data, and a service that screens patients for eligibility for ensaios clínicos.  They work with hospitals, community clinics, academics and ciências da vida companies.

Fundada por dois ex-executivos Uber e 23andME e lançada no Y Combinator, a empresa levantou $6 milhões em maio de 2018.
5. DayTwo

This San Francisco-based company offers an FDA-approved oncology AI software that helps radiologists measure and track tumours in MRIs and CT scans using a simple browser — and the aim is more accurate, faster cancer recognition. The software uses aprendizagem profunda to detect lung and liver lesions, with an accuracy that’s equal to segmentations performed by human experts. Arterys completed a series B funding of $30M in 2017.
8. Feebris
   This London-based company provides in a mobile application that enables community-based diagnoses in the elderly and in children (under 5).

Feebris won the Big Ideas competition in April 2018 and was awarded £10k funding and RGAx mentor support.
9. DrDoctor
   DrDoctor, sediado no Reino Unido, ajuda os pacientes a agendar consultas em clínicas, através de cancelamentos de última hora.

Healthcare is an industry in which a huge amount of data is generated as well as collected every day. With the help of data science, aprendizagem de máquinas and AI, we are now able to analyze this data and extract meaningful insights which will pave the way for bigger medical innovations. With the digital revolution taking over, the industry continues to grow at a furious pace.
