“At the forefront of home healthcare, Checkable is developing the first FDA-approved at-home strep throat test. Paired with a proprietary digital telemedicine platform to instantly connect consumers with healthcare professionals, you can skip the doctor’s office and start treatment fast, right from the comforts of your home.

CEO and founder Patty Post grew tired of the constant drives and long wait times at the doctor’s office to get her kids tested for strep every time they had a sore throat, only for many of the results to come back negative. After seeing how easy the test was to administer, Patty knew there was a more convenient way to bring this test home.

Along with the at-home strep test, Checkable offers an array of wellness supplements and a multitude of resources, including podcasts and blogs, to help keep consumers in the know about different aspects of their health from top to bottom. And with more home tests coming soon, Checkable puts treatment options at your fingertips, so you can focus on getting better.”

Also honored in:

“Committed to improving the way clinical trials are managed, making them more efficient and effective to drive more drugs to the market faster, RXE2 is focused on leveraging the power of community, and specifically community pharmacists, providing them with powerful and cutting-edge technology, so that they can help the pharmaceuticals with their challenges in clinical trials.

Clinical studies traditionally take many years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars to design, run and analyze. The biggest challenges pharmaceutical companies face when it comes to clinical trials and research are usually patient recruitment (both in time and diversity), patient engagement and retention (patient adherence to the protocol, dropout rates) and the logistics of drug dispensing and counseling.

RXE2 taps into its vast network of community pharmacists and leverages their expertise, knowledge of their communities and patients and the trust they enjoy by their patients to help the pharmaceuticals resolve these challenges. We do all this with powerful AI, Machine Learning and other cutting-edge technologies.”
