Remote heart devices produce a blizzard of alerts. Octagos raised $43 million to decide which ones deserve a clinician's attention - and to make the rest of the clinic run on time.
Lightbeam Found Billions in Healthcare’s Messy Middle - Then Turned a Customer Into Its Operator

Welldoc Spent 20 Years Turning a Diabetes App Into the Plumbing for AI-Powered Care
The Maryland company learned that FDA clearance was only the opening move. Its more durable play is connecting devices, care teams and everyday decisions - then selling that regulated intelligence through the institutions already paying for chronic care.

Wayne Meng Built the Device, Then Followed the Data
Before remote care became a category, Wayne Meng was already turning a handheld measurement into a connected service. His career is a study in patient iteration: manufacture the object, learn from the signal, then build the system around it.
Christopher McGhee Sold Current Health for $400 Million. Then He Bought It Back.

Canary Put a Fitness Tracker Inside a Knee - Then Learned the Data Was the Hard Part
The Vancouver medtech spent nearly a decade teaching an implant to report every step. Its more useful lesson came after launch: a stream of numbers is not a product until a care team knows what to do next.
The $100,000 Problem Hiding Under a Patient's Foot - and the 20-Second Habit Podimetrics Built to Catch It

Best Buy Paid $400 Million for Current Health. Then Its Founder Bought the Company Back - and Narrowed the Bet

The Doctor Who Built a Research Machine Because He Never Had Time to Do Research
Dr Matt Wilson spent 14-hour shifts in emergency medicine with no time to eat, let alone run a study. So he built a platform that makes the research happen without the clinician lifting a finger - and pharma is paying to plug in.
BeCareLink Put a Neurologic Exam in Your Pocket - Now It Has to Prove the Data Travels
A family tragedy sent two founders after one of medicine's most subjective rituals. Their bet: short phone tests can make the months between neurology visits visible - if patients, doctors and drug developers trust the measurements.
The Home Spirometer a Father Couldn't Buy Became RemetricHealth's Remote-Care Business
Wayne Meng went looking for a way to measure his daughter's lung function at home and found a blank shelf. The device he built became the wedge for a broader bet: remote care works better when someone handles the hardware, the data and the human follow-up.
Junction Is Selling the Boring Plumbing Behind At-Home Healthcare
Digital-health companies want to launch lab testing and connect hundreds of devices. Junction does the unphotogenic work in between - integrations, requisitions, logistics, reminders and results - so customers can ship care instead of another six-month infrastructure project.
The Next Health Wearable May Be Hiding in Your Mouth
Lura Health is building a sensor small enough to disappear inside a retainer - and ambitious enough to turn saliva into a continuous stream of health data.
The Six-Minute Sessions Trying to Rewire Recovery at Home

Starling Medical
Starling Medical is a Houston-based digital health company (Y Combinator W22) building an at-home urine monitoring platform that clips onto a toilet and analyzes urine at every bathroom visit. Using spectroscopy sensors and AI, its UrinDx / StarStream device sends readings to a clinical care team that follows up when something looks off, aiming to catch recurrent UTIs, BPH flare-ups, kidney disease and diabetes complications before they become hospitalizations. The company bills through remote patient monitoring reimbursements, turning routine bathroom trips into a continuous diagnostic stream.
Romi Gubes
Romi Gubes is the co-founder and CEO of Sensi.AI, an Austin-based company that turns ambient audio into around-the-clock care intelligence for seniors aging at home. A former Fortune 500 software engineer, she started the company in 2019 after a personal experience with vulnerability in care redirected her career toward protecting people who can't advocate for themselves. Under her leadership Sensi has raised more than $98 million, grown revenue 400% in a year, and expanded into what she describes as an AI operating system for senior care.
