IgniteData is a healthtech company automating the transfer of clinical trial data between hospital electronic health records (EHRs) and sponsors' electronic data capture (EDC) systems. Its flagship platform, Archer, is a cloud-based, system-agnostic 'Virtual Research Assistant' that uses HL7 FHIR and SMART on FHIR APIs to move clinically validated data securely and automatically, cutting manual transcription, reducing source data verification, and helping treatments reach patients faster. Founded in the UK and now operating on both sides of the Atlantic, IgniteData works with pharmaceutical sponsors like AstraZeneca and research hospitals including UCLH, Cambridge University Hospitals, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
SimpliFed is a virtual maternal health company based in Ithaca, New York, that helps families through pregnancy, postpartum, and baby feeding. Founded by biomedical engineer Andrea Ippolito in 2019, it began as insurance-covered virtual lactation support and has grown into a broader 'Maternal Health Operating System' (mOS) that pairs IBCLC lactation consultants and care navigators with prenatal and postpartum virtual OB services. Working in-network with most major commercial plans and Medicaid in multiple states, SimpliFed partners with health systems and OB clinics to extend judgment-free, evidence-based care into the home.
