WHAT:         
Seven health-tech startups will showcase their innovations and inventions at a Demo Day for investors, health professionals and the media. The seven have just completed a three-month intensive tech boot camp known as the Cedars-Sinai Accelerator powered by Techstars, which helps startups bring their ideas and innovations to the marketplace.

WHY:          
Cedars-Sinai is committed to finding the newest healthcare breakthroughs that can improve the lives of patients and make medical care more efficient. As part of this process, Cedars-Sinai and Techstars interviewed 650 companies for coveted spots in the accelerator. The seven chosen companies received $120,000 investments from Cedars-Sinai as well as regular mentoring from its physicians, researchers and executives. Techstars, which runs accelerators around the world, offers the startups a network of entrepreneurs, tech industry experts and investors. The companies work out of a loft-like space across the street from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

This is the second Cedars-Sinai accelerator class. Last year’s class raised a total of $11.78 million in financing after completing the program in June 2016.

WHO:             
This year’s companies include:

Noteworth — Provides software and services that allows physicians and healthcare systems to have unprecedented access to patient data outside of the walls of the clinic.

Noteworth says the service helps health systems lower readmissions, reduce utilization, boost patient satisfaction and increase overall quality of care.
