Founded in 2020 through the Texas Medical Center Biodesign program, Koda now reaches more than one million patients nationwide and pairs software with in-house clinical support to make sure care plans are understood and followed.
Vynca
Vynca is a healthcare company focused on serious illness and end-of-life care. Founded in 2013 out of Stanford Biodesign, it began as advance care planning software that put patients' end-of-life wishes into the electronic health record, then expanded into hands-on clinical services. Today it combines home-based and virtual palliative care, care navigation, and enhanced care management with technology, partnering with health plans and providers to keep seriously ill patients comfortable, out of the hospital, and cared for on their own terms.
