A missed appointment can begin with a missing ride. Equality Health connects Medicaid-focused practices to data, local care teams, and quarterly incentives designed to make prevention practical.
The House Call Has a Routing Problem
Sprinter Health discovered the limit of telehealth: a screen cannot draw blood. Its answer is a house call built like a delivery network - human at the doorstep, software behind the wheel.
Ounce of Care
Ounce of Care (brand name: Ounce) is a New York-based company building the tech-enabled resident services layer for affordable housing. It embeds on-site Community Navigators and virtual care teams inside apartment communities, then uses its Ounce Hub platform to enroll residents in public benefits like SNAP and Medicaid, coordinate health and social services, and run educational programming. The result is a rare win-win: residents get stability and support, and property owners get better retention, occupancy, and asset performance.
Pear Suite
Pear Suite is a digital health company that equips community health workers (CHWs), promotores, doulas, and the community-based organizations they work for with an AI-powered care navigation platform. The software helps frontline workers document visits, track clients, address social determinants of health, and bill health plans, while connecting them into a national provider network that handles contracting, clinical, and claims infrastructure so community-based care can finally get reimbursed sustainably.
