Life365 Joins BioAccel’s New Venture Development Program Creating Smart Wearables for Seniors and Chronic Care
Phoenix, AZ, April 01, 2016 --(PR.com)-- BioAccel, with laboratory and business facilities at BioInspire, today announced a new venture development program partnership with Life365.
Life365 is a new venture founded by Arizona native and entrepreneur Kent Dicks. The Life365 “Rain” platform uses light-touch hardware, software and services to keep patients engaged with their health, assist in adherence to prescribed health regimens, and integrate individual health data into electronic medical records.
Life365’s objective is to build on the demonstrated efficacy of remote-patient monitoring with cost effective, scalable and adoptable solutions to reach a greater number of patients. This health monitoring solution will enable business models of payors, providers, Accountable Care Organizations and other entities financially responsible for patient populations.
Life365 was recently selected by BioAccel to receive early-stage funding, including office space located at BioInspire’s 7,000 square foot facility in Peoria, Arizona. Life365 and BioAccel share a strong commitment to expand the local economy, bring high-tech biomedical jobs to the Valley and improve Arizona’s health through innovation. Life365 will initially roll out its platform for use with Arizona veterans, rural and underserved populations.
BioInspire is one of few incubator facilities in Arizona providing a combination of business, technical, and investment financing to early-stage companies qualifying to participate in BioAccel’s commercialization programs.
“BioAccel, along with its medical device facility BioInspire, is a great advocate for growing jobs and bringing attention to the growing bioscience and medtech industry in Arizona,” said Kent Dicks, Life365 Chief Executive Officer. “The state has done much to raise its profile in the biomedical space, utilizing the local community resources to accelerate the growth of these businesses – assisting them in bringing their concepts to commercialization. BioAccel is a great resource for startups new to the challenges of launching a business, as well as experienced entrepreneurs like ourselves who want to bring innovative products to market faster.”
“BioAccel is excited to partner with Life365,” said MaryAnn Guerra, BioAccel Chief Executive Officer. “BioAccel believes that use of digital, wearable and mobile health innovations has the potential to transform social conditions, systems processes, access to care, desired health impact and outcomes. Life365, with its integrated platform, allows us to enter the rapidly growing wearable sensor space and enables synergistic opportunities for other vanguard technologies included in BioAccel’s portfolio.”
