3. Pyx Health

Founded: 2017

“Pyx Health was started by successful healthcare professionals with over 40 years of experience in healthcare technology. Pyx was started through a personal journey with a family member suffering from a mental health illness. Witnessing our loved one go from stable to high-risk in six months was the impetus for Pyx Health. This is the second healthcare IT company we have worked on together as a team; the success of the first one inspired us to “get the band back together” and do it again.

Pyx Health leverages mobile technology to connect health plan members with their closest family and friends to support them throughout their healthcare journey. We harness the power of family and friends and chatbot technology to provide support that is informed, relevant, and non-clinical to encourage self-management and drive improved health outcomes for users. We also generate real-time alerts when a patient is accessing emergency, urgent or crisis care. While other technology falls short as a substitute for human connections, our technology uses these combined forces (chatbot and family/friends) to engage and maximize the power of influencers in the members’ lives.”
