1. Replete Health Inc by Venkat Timmaraju- We were planning to release telehealth in May/Jun timeframe. Given COVID19, we have sped up our development process to bring the release into March. In addition, we have included a screening questionnaire that allows enrolled patients to self-screen themselves and share those results with their provider. Website: http://www.repletehealth.com
2. Andaman7 by David Levesque - Andaman7- Our Pandemic Module helps manage COVID-19 for patients, providers, payers, and Governments. Symptoms, burnout, and resources are collected in real-time. All stakeholders will benefit from a clearer picture of their current risk.Website: https://www.andaman7.com/covid-19.
3. Montfort Brain Monitor by Ziv Yekutieli Montfort Brain Monitor- Montfort's EncephaLog is the only smartphone-based, FDA-cleared, inclusive neurological monitor. The app uses the smartphone internal sensors (accelerometer, touchscreen etc.) to conduct standard, medically-approved neurological tests. The tests take place at the patient's home, according to simple test sequence, which is prescribed to the patient by the physician. Using AI and Big Data analytics, we extract standard medical outcomes that are delivered back to the physician through an accessible web portal, providing accessible, quantitative and actionable insights and therefore substantially improving the quality of life and life expectancy of patients.

4. Bridgit by Daveed Benjamin Bridgit- We are convening a project to build an interactive knowledge map for the online COVID19 information ecology that will help researchers, agencies, policy-makers, and journalists connect around common interests, make sense of the available information, collaborate, and learn together. The COVID19 Mapping project aims to crowd map the relevant online information ecology for the COVID19 virus including second and third order effects of the virus. This project we be the seed of a pandemic map and ultimately a map for health and wellbeing. The project utilizes Bridgit 's mapping capability to catalyze a Massive Online Research Collaboration for COVID19.
Massive Online Research Collaborations (or MORCs) HELP professionals working on COVID19 TO collaborate WITHOUT any coordination EVEN IF they don''t know each other or speak the same language VIA an online platform with a self-generating, collective knowledge map of all online data and insights for the coronavirus. AI will monitor the knowledge map and send alerts about emerging threats, false news, and misinformation.
Outcomes of the project include an interactive, self-generating collective knowledge map, a shared context for collaboration and communication, a cohesive community that learns together, as well as faster, better answers that accelerate insight, innovation, and learning.

5. 3C by Bear Simerson - 3C- Recent reports indicate about 80% of COVID-19 patients show mild to moderate symptoms. The CDC suggests timely triaging and monitoring such patients remotely at home can immensely reduce the strain on healthcare systems and reduce the risk of further spread. As the pressure to act rapidly on Coronavirus builds, we can enable healthcare organizations today to effectively manage their patient population with our outreach program, screening tool and Telehealth services.
We are offering this service to any and all healthcare organizations completely FREE OF COST in hopes that it can empower people who are on the frontlines of this health crisis. If a small contribution on our end can help protect our community and the ones we love, it is our responsibility to do so.
By minimizing direct contact between the patients and medical personnel, our virtual screening tool and Telehealth not only monitor the patients outside the hospital while allowing them to stay comfortably in their homes but also reduce the percentage risk of healthcare staff contracting the virus.
What we are offering:
. Establish your organizations virtual care homepage with your branding and all the latest COVID-19 educational contents per CDC guidelines.
. Direct all your patients to your homepage to take the risk assessment test to better understand the symptoms of coronavirus.
. Appropriately triage large numbers of patients with COVID-19 concerns with your branded Telehealth service.
. Set up provider dashboard for analytics.
. Real-Time Risk Stratification

6. Open Health Network by Tatyana Kanzaveli - Open Health Network- Open Health Network [http://www.openehalth.cc ]released COVID Symptoms tracker. It enables people to track their symptoms from day one of not feeling well. Manage their medications. Find closest COVID testing center. Share their data with the doctors office prior to a phone call, telehealth or in person visit. People diagnosed and recovered from COVID infection can also volunteer to donate plasma for research.
Open Health Network has published high resolution map [at a zip code level] of reported cases that could be extremely helpful for government officials, healthcare providers and insurance companies to identify upcoming hot spot before people has been tested and start allocations of necessary resources.
Application is available for free as a web app, iOS and Android apps. Currently in English language with Spanish released soon. Could be immediately translated into other languages, white labeled. Additional features such as educational content, triage functions could be easily and rapidly added as well.
This solution has been developed and deployed in 2 days. Within days after release it became popular and now is used by over 10,000 people without any marketing.

7. Tamarin Health by Katherine Kuzmeskas - Tamarin Health- Fast Care Contracting for COVID - Originally developed to manage Bundled Payment Patients (and drives on average $7,000 per episode, ($4,500 more than industry average), Caregivers who must take care of patients remotely have all the tools at their reach, and is perfect for the (anticipated) short duration of Covid-19 response. Caregivers do not have to sign 1-2 year contracts - even our contracts are Caregiver-budget friendly.
Our analytics can also provide support to Public Health for hot spotting, contract tracing, and assist in efficient deployment of medical supplies.
We are also leveraging our blockchain-backed audit trail to keep accurate, unchangeable records of care provided to help prevent denials. We anticipate insurance companies to deny remote/telemed care during this time, especially for providers that don''t have good accounting of care delivered (for example, if physicians used an iPhone for a telemed visit).

8. Face2Face Health by Ami Shah - Vetted information and education and support relevant to coping during these difficult times.
- Topical webinars with expert information and advice
- Access to prescreening for COVID 19

9. SymtomMe by Lurii Zhydun - SymptomeMe service provides to our clients a convenient way not only to track relevant symptoms but also significantly simplify their doctors to asses the dynamic of symptoms changes in time. Taking into account the massive scale of COVID-19, it gives any patient a chance to get help when it is the right time and significantly decreases the workload on the healthcare system.

10. Admetsys by Jeff Valk - Today, clinicians need to interact with COVID-19 patients directly to draw blood samples for labs. The Admetsys system currently automatedly reads blood analytes (glucose, lactate and hematocrit) and those analytes could be expanded to help with COVID-19 specific physiological parameters.
Furthermore, glucose control is a requirement in critical ill patients and traditional diabetics, who are at higher risk to COVID-19. Admetsys'' system automates blood sugar control to avoid hyperglycemia, which allows the white blood cells to fight off infection. Lastly, our solution is fully scalable and offers remote monitoring via monitor, laptop, phone or table.

11. Patient Advisor LLC by Anthony Hartley - The safety profile of our partner''s Stem Cell Therapy is strong and is used currently for other medical conditions. This treatment can be repurposed for COVID-19 as it shows minor side effects like fatigue or headache and not adverse side effects. Our platform makes available vetted stem cell therapy clinics available to all patients for Covid-19 as well as other medical conditions where there is more empirical evidence to prove efficacy. While a vaccine might take 12-18 months, we believe this treatment at the least can be applied to patients with COVID-19 in ICU or about to enter ICU based on compassionate care. While there is currently no known proven treatment for this virus, medical teams can use this safe treatment rather than alternatives that might show risks and adverse effects.

12. Track Virus by Tal Givoly - Track Virus is a platform composed of an app (iOS and Android) and a set of web services designed to track and prevent the spread of viruses by providing a real-time assessment of the likelihood of any individual being infected. The initial version already experienced bottom-up demand, and top-down support by United Hatzalah, and has been adopted by well-over 100,000 people (in Israel). By leveraging all users??T locations and histories, and all available and derived epidemiological studies, the platform determines the risk of any individual being infected and informs first responders, healthcare providers, transportation/venue operators, and policymakers ??" in real-time.
