Check out Steve Wardles' winning presentation on stage and the judges' feedback
Vator Splash Health 2017 cohort Iris Plans, took home the gold. Here's the video of Steve Wardle, Iris Plans, Founder and CEO, giving the winning presentation.
Iris Plans reduces the cost of complex care by 25% with their Advance Care Planning (ACP) solution for health insurers and at-risk providers. They dramatically reduce unnecessary care delivered to patients facing serious illness - a focused population that drives significant spending. Their telehealth platform allows Iris healthcare professionals to meet with patients and their families anytime, anywhere, creating a plan to guide major healthcare decisions. They have decades of palliative care experience and deliver a targeted offering at considerably lower cost than a traditional palliative program.
Among the judges were Ryan Howard (Founder, iBeat and Practice Fusion; Angel investor), Risa Stack (General Manager, GE Ventures), Emily Melton (Partner, DFJ Venture), Paul Willard (Partner, Subtraction Capital), Hubert Zajicek (CEO, Health Wildcatters)
