These ventures have just started at Accelerate Cambridge. They are at various stages of development, with some having already raised their first seed round.
Hearty
Hearty strives to advance personal nutrition through a mobile app for developing and sustaining healthy eating habits.
To get it right, we’re beginning as a novel companion tool for nutritional specialists. Dietitians, nutritionists, and nutritional therapists using Hearty will be able to provide their clients with an easy-to-use yet comprehensive food diary to help individuals stay actively engaged with the foods they’re eating. In turn, specialists can follow their clients’ progress, create personalised plans, and easily communicate updates and consultation scheduling.
As we continue to simplify how people engage with their nutrition and learn the decision-making behind effective dietary guidance, Hearty can give nutritional support to a wider public audience with its own artificial nutritionist.
HEPAprint
HEPAprint uses genomics to tackle the huge problem of adverse drug reactions. Our vision is to improve patients' lives and guide the way to safer personalised medicine. Adverse drug reactions (ADR's) are a major problem causing harm to individuals and are a massive financial burden for healthcare systems worldwide. Annually, it is estimated these ADR's cause 100,000 preventable deaths and cost an estimated $130 billion in the US alone.
Our solution is a clinical decision-making tool that helps to predict an individual patient's response to drugs. Each one of us has a unique array of enzymes in our liver that defines how we react to medicines. By cross-corelating genomic data with other big data, we can help predict and prevent a range of adverse drug reactions − ultimately saving money, and more importantly lives!
Screenme
ScreenMe offers a platform that uses information obtained from the microbiome to tailor everyday grocery shopping to the personal needs of expecting mothers, nursing mothers and their children. We use the latest technological advances in the fields of personalised medicine and microbiome research so parents can be confident that our advice will help them do their best to promote the healthy, long-term development of their children.
