On Dec. 6, 10 health-tech startup companies unveiled their leading-edge health technology products and platforms at a “Demo Day” for investors, healthcare professionals and members of the news media. Entrepreneurs from all 10 companies recently completed the three-month Cedars-Sinai Accelerator Powered by Techstars, during which they worked closely with Cedars-Sinai doctors and mentors, as well as Techstars leaders.

The event, held at The Beverly Hilton, showcased the companies’ new products, including an at-home, easy-to-use blood-draw technology, a support app for cancer patients, a cloud-based content management system designed to better organize clinical trials, and a digital assistant like Amazon’s Alexa designed specifically for hospitalized patients.

The companies included Aiva, the world’s first voice assistant platform for hospitals and clinical environments; CancerAid, a leading cancer app in the U.S., UK and Australia that provides individualized cancer therapy information, and resources to patients and their caregivers; Invio, a cloud-based content management system designed to optimize clinical trials, reduce cost and increase efficiency by digitizing the process; and Seremedi’s CareScriptions, a mobile app and software system that helps patients prepare and recover from complex surgical cancer procedures.
