Rock Health's 4th class to benefit from KP's advice | mobihealthnews

Brian Dolan, Editor, MobiHealthNewsLast week digital health incubator Rock Health announced its fourth class of startups, which will be the first to go through the program with the increased $100,000 in funding. Rock Health also announced last week that Kaiser Permanente, the largest integrated healthcare system in the US, has joined as a partner to the program and will help advise Rock?s startups alongside its other partners, which already include Mayo Clinic, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Mohr Davidow, Aberdare Ventures, GE, Genentech, United Healthcare, UCSF, Harvard Medical School, and Nike.

In addition to the Kaiser Permanente announcement, Rock Health announced the 14 startups that would be joining its next class. As expected the larger amount of funding helped attract some impressive candidates, including a few that MobiHealthNews has covered in the past. Beam Technologies, which announced FDA clearance for its accelerometer-equipped, manual toothbrush that transmits data to a smartphone app to track tooth brushing, made the cut. Wellframe, which has founders from mHealth Alliance award-winning Sana, RunKeeper, and Dossia. Medication adherence-focused startup?Mango Health, which already pulled in a $1.45 million seed round, is set to enter the incubator, too.
