Madison HealthTech Company Creates Roadmap for Success

Datica, the industry cloud platform for digital health applications, today announced its Digital Health Success Framework (DHSF). Digital health developers can use the detailed guide to take products from napkin scribble to market without any snags.

Launched in 2013, Datica has spent the past four years working with digital health companies that range from single-founder startups to Fortune 100 pharma companies and hospital providers. Patterns from thousands of conversations have emerged around topics like technology, cloud infrastructure, data exchange and compliance.

“Unlike other industries where a pathway to success is straightforward, the healthcare industry has unique considerations not found elsewhere,” said Mark Olschesky, Datica’s chief data officer. “The DHSF takes those specific complexities, details the timelines and benchmarks for each, then simplifies the success process in an intelligent way that developers can clearly comprehend.”

According to research and data analytics firm CB Insights, increases in digital health funding continued for the seventh straight year in 2016 with venture deals reaching $6.5B. Those financial deals have financially supported companies that want to “remedy the pain points of healthcare.” Investors distributed the majority of those funds to early-stage, seed and Series A companies. Yet, Datica has seen many of those well-intentioned companies struggle to reach market adoption. Research by Accenture in 2015 showed that more than 50 percent of all digital health startups are likely to fail within two years following their launch.

Datica’s mission is to reduce that 50 percent rate. The Digital Health Success Framework plays the role of helping teams understand the major considerations which contribute to business risks and product burdens. “We’ve seen hundreds of digital health companies pass by in our position as a top startup incubator. Most of them struggle to understand what challenges stand between them and market adoption,” explained Joe Kirgues, co-founder of Gener8tor, a nationally ranked accelerator. “Datica’s Digital Health Success Framework can help organizations understand the unique considerations required for new products, which will help the healthcare ecosystem only get better at delivering stronger patient outcomes through new innovation.”

Customers and partners across healthcare trust Datica to ensure the barriers for digital health are removed so innovation can happen faster. For more information please visit http://www.datica.com.

OneEvent® Launches Predictive Software Platform for Safer Buildings, Homes

OneEvent® Technologies announced today that its OnePrevent™ system is available for installation throughout Wisconsin now that two compliance hurdles have been cleared.

The OnePrevent building and home monitoring system was recently listed by Underwriters Laboratory (UL), a global independent safety science company that certifies, validates, verifies and inspects products for safety and function in regard to compliance and regulation. UL Listing means that UL has tested representative samples of the product and determined that it meets the industry’s requirements, based on its nationally recognized Standards for Safety.

Locally, the City of Madison Fire Department recently approved the use of OnePrevent’s smoke/heat multisensory alarm as it relates to Madison General Ordinance 34.907 — one of the strictest ordinances in Wisconsin.

The wireless OnePrevent system is the first of its kind to give homeowners and building owners and managers the power to protect their assets before damage or danger strikes. OneEvent’s various sensor types connect to the cloud, where the system learns the home or business’s normal patterns to predict when something is truly out of the ordinary. When that occurs, customers get an immediate notification on their smartphone. In addition to potentially preventing problems, the ability for property owners and managers to have access to constant property monitoring lies in the palm of their hand.

“We had a great end to the year last month when we were voted the Most Innovative Company at the Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce’s nex7 Stage Event for local startups,” Wedig said. “And now, starting the year with our product going to market is perfect timing for our system to be hitting the local marketplace. It’s already preventing freezing pipes in our customers’ buildings and helping them identify opportunities for better energy management. There are just so many ways for our system to help building owners and managers better understand and manage their properties so conveniently.”

OneEvent continues to seek patents and add capabilities to its OnePrevent system. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently granted a seventh patent to OneEvent for a communication protocol of a networked evacuation system for OnePrevent, protecting OneEvent’s intellectual property as unique and unprecedented.

The company has selected and trained four local dealer-installers — J&K Security Solutions of Madison, Fearing’s Audio Video Security of Madison, The Electrician Inc. of Mount Horeb, and Mahlkuch Electric LLC of Monroe — that are selling and installing the OnePrevent system throughout southern Wisconsin, with more dealer-installers to be added as the market area expands.
