Sanjay Shah represented the session sponsor, California HealthCare Foundation. Co-Founders Matthew Holt and Indu Subaiya co-moderated a session of rapid-fire demos from Health 2.0 buzz-worthy newbies on “Launch!”.  Demos included SmartPatient, Medvoy, Genetrainer, Medlio, InvolveCare, Recovery Record, Vimty, Liviam, Mevoked, and OM Signal.  At the end of the session the audience overwhelmingly voted Stephane Marceau from OM Signal as the winner with his wearable sensor woven directly into the fabric of a t-shirt!  The prize is bragging rights and an invitation to demo on the mainstage at the 8th Annual Fall Conference in 2014.

With a passion for solving big problems with an entrepreneurial lens, Blaine Warkentine, CEO at Vimty Inc, focused his talents to making health advocacy during end of life care more available and accessible. He joined the Health 2.0 community this year to show how Vimty empowers not only the individual but the family in making final, end of life health decisions and connects the patient with advocates and counselors.
