Mint.com Founder’s latest company, Vital, named SXSW Innovation Awards Finalist


News Image

At the SXSW Innovation Awards, Vital will offer demos of its platform to showcase how its modern software keeps patients and families effortlessly informed during their ER visit, reduces length-of-stay through prediction, and saves hospitals time and money with improved flow.

Vital, the AI-powered software improving patient experience in hospital emergency rooms, announced today it’s been named one of five finalists in the Health, Med, and BioTech category for the 23rd annual SXSW Innovation Awards.

The SXSW Innovation Awards recognizes the most exciting tech developments in the connected world. During the showcase on Saturday, March 14, 2020, Vital will offer demos of its platform to showcase how its modern software keeps patients and families effortlessly informed during their ER visit, reduces length-of-stay through prediction, and saves hospitals time and money with improved flow.

As a 28-year-old, Patzer was named one of Fortune’s “40 Under 40” for his success with Mint.com which he later sold to Intuit for $170 million. His passion for turning complex and painful situations into simple user experiences continues with Vital, to provide an easy and comprehensive view of the emergency department and to dramatically improve the patient experience. Using artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) Vital makes it easier and faster for providers to coordinate care and effortlessly communicate with patients and families.

Patzer brings capital, confidence and credibility to Vital from his success with Mint.com, which transformed dense and illegible bank data into an easy consumer product. The decision to take on an even higher-stakes, more regulated industry came after seeing firsthand the antiquated software hospitals use. Teaming up with Justin Schrager, Doctor of Emergency Medicine at Emory University Hospital, Patzer invested a million dollars and two years of peer-reviewed academic study and technical research and development to create Vital, now ready to rollout to the benefit of patients, providers and hospitals.

“It’s been a decade since I was at South by Southwest kicking off what has become a decade of innovation in financial technology,” said Patzer. “I’m excited to be back to showcase what I believe will be the next revolution in healthtech.”

The awards will be presented at the Austin Convention Center on Monday, March 16.

Pet Wants, the pet food and supplies franchise focused on fresh, high-quality products, was recently named to Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500®. This is the first year that Pet Wants, founded as a franchise in 2015, has been named to the Franchise 500®.

We have grown to more than 100 franchises in less than five years and we are on track to continue that massive growth.

Placement in the Franchise 500® is a highly sought-after honor in the franchise industry, making it one of the company’s most competitive rankings ever. Recognized as an invaluable resource for potential franchisees, this year’s Franchise 500® ranked Pet Wants as #376 for its outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability and brand power.

“The 500 companies on this list all have something in common: They understand what consumers want now … Making our list means they’re forward-thinking, nimble and closely in touch with their customers’ needs — because in an ever-changing business environment, that’s what a franchise must do to thrive,” says Entrepreneur editor in chief Jason Feifer.

The key factors that go into the evaluation include costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking

Pet Wants was founded in Cincinnati in 2010 and expanded into a franchise in 2015 with the help of Franchise Funding Group. Pet Wants’ specially-crafted, private-label pet food formulas are made in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced diet in every bowl.

Matternet and Robotic Skies partnership

Matternet M2 Drone Logistics System

Matternet technology has the power to transform healthcare and the world of logistics at large. Partners like Robotic Skies help us expand our U.S. and global operations.

Matternet, a pioneer in drone delivery for medical applications, announced the company’s partnership with Robotic Skies, a global maintenance network for commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), to provide field service and repair support for operators who fly the Matternet M2 drone logistics system.

Matternet is revolutionizing logistics around the world by establishing a new mode of on-demand aerial transportation. In the field of healthcare, Matternet’s drone delivery technology allows hospital systems to transport medical items at an unprecedented level of speed and predictability, resulting in improved patient care and operational savings. Matternet’s systems are currently operating at WakeMed Health & Hospitals and UC San Diego Health, and have served hospitals in Switzerland since 2017.

“Our technology has the power to transform healthcare and the world of logistics at large. As we expand Matternet’s U.S. and global operations, maintenance by certified technicians in the geographies where we operate is an important component to scaling our operations. We are excited to partner with Robotic Skies, who share with us a strong safety mindset and have the ability to support us across several geographies,” said Matternet CEO and Founder Andreas Raptopoulos.

Robotic Skies is a global network of more than 190 independently owned and operated certified aviation repair stations serving the commercial UAS market. Through partnerships with unmanned aircraft manufacturers, Robotic Skies provides operators with local turnkey field service support that enables safe flight operations with more uptime.

“We are thrilled to partner with an industry pioneer who understands the value that aviation-grade maintenance solutions provide to enable complex commercial unmanned operations,” said Brad Hayden, Robotic Skies CEO and Founder. “Our global network will give Matternet’s customers the maintenance infrastructure and services that ensure the utmost safety, reliability, and efficiency as they operate beyond visual line of sight and over people.”

The Matternet M2 drone logistics system, comprised of the Matternet M2 drone and the Matternet Cloud Platform, is enabling the first FAA-approved drone airline. The full Part 135 Standard certification was granted to UPS Flight Forward in September 2019, allowing UPS and Matternet to expand on-demand drone delivery operations to hospitals around the country. The FAA’s Part 135 certification includes requirements that operators establish how and when they will perform and document aircraft inspections, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, and repair.

The professionally trained technicians at Robotic Skies Service Centers combine decades of experience serving manned aircraft operators who fly under Part 135 certification. Robotic Skies will provide the industry expertise and quality practices necessary to ensure Matternet operators meet the same regulatory and safety standards for maintaining commercial unmanned aircraft fleets.

Matternet and Robotic Skies are part of the Boeing HorizonX Ventures investment portfolio of companies. Boeing HorizonX Ventures is made up of companies developing technologies and capabilities to advance aerospace innovations, including mobility transformation, space and connectivity, industry 4.0 and digital acceleration.

“This partnership between Matternet and Robotic Skies demonstrates how HorizonX works to build bridges, not only between Boeing and our portfolio companies but between our portfolio companies as well,” explains Brian Schettler, senior managing director of HorizonX Ventures. “This enables the entire ecosystem to drive innovation and value, together.”

Verju is the world’s first green body contouring laser of its kind and the only body contouring device on the market with proven efficacy by way of a double-blind, multi-site and placebo-controlled clinical study in which clients saw a four-inch average loss after completion of a treatment program.

“Our clients mean everything to us, and their success is our success,” says Trim Studio medical director Cheryl Jaye, MD. “Combining the technologies we already have with this new modality gives Trim Studio the opportunity to widen the scope of who we can treat and the results we can achieve. We are excited, to say the least, to be able to help more people reach their goals with the incredibly powerful technology of Verju.”

Trim Studio clients who have utilized the laser thus far are impressed with the technology and their outcomes. “After completing five of six planned treatments over the last few weeks, the early results have significantly exceeded my expectations with zero adverse effects,” says one client on Facebook of his experience. “The procedure lasts about 40 minutes during which time the target areas on my body are exposed to a cool green laser light. There is no sensation at all while lying on my back and then on my stomach on the treatment table.”

There are no body mass index (BMI) limitations for Verju patients, and it can be appropriate for body types ranging from athletic to clinically obese. For more information, contact the Studio by calling 727-288-4329.
