HealthRhythms
By seamlessly gathering data about everyday behaviors and routines, HealthRhythms provides a more comprehensive and clinically grounded understanding of mental wellbeing. Their solution leverages deep machine learning and predictive analytics to create novel health assessments and just-in-time personalized interventions that improve the care delivery experience for patients and providers. The company is working with health systems, payers, clinical researchers, as well as pharmaceutical to add the layer of mental health to all of healthcare.
NYC Hope
In partnership with the NYC Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence, NYC Hope is a web portal for survivors of intimate partner violence. The project was a collaboration between New York City and Cornell Tech faculty and students.
Speech Up
Traditional speech therapy is a growing industry but there remains a considerable nationwide deficit of speech pathologists. Furthermore, speech therapy is oftentimes cost-prohibitive for many kids who grow up with a speech impediment or a speech-related disorder.
Speech Up is an accessible, affordable, and enjoyable speech therapy app that provides real-time user feedback and personalized self-paced learning for kids.
