Over the next three months, these companies will rapidly accelerate their businesses by working closely with UnitedHealthcare, Techstars, and a network of expert healthcare mentors.

Healthcare workers, hospital leaders, and medical companies all over the world are working diligently to fight the coronavirus pandemic, and in the midst of that, the healthcare landscape is changing drastically. These shifts have created incredible opportunities for entrepreneurs to reimagine the future of health and the latest class of companies joining the UnitedHealthcare Accelerator Powered by Techstars are doing just that.

“From the beginning, we set out to find world-class entrepreneurs solving substantive problems across the health care landscape. We looked for early technology companies enhancing the quality of care, increasing access to care, addressing the cost of care, and improving the experience for all our stakeholders to make health care work better for everyone. We also searched for innovations capable of solving the challenges brought by COVID-19. Similar to last year, applicants were quite impressive, and selected companies represent a diverse spectrum of ideas, geographies, capabilities and technologies. The 2020 class is tackling issues in areas such as: health equity, care delivery model innovation, telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, mental health, behavioral economics, and more,” said Matt Miller, PhD, Managing Director of the UnitedHealthcare Accelerator Powered by Techstars.
