Wrapping up Prosper HealthTech Accelerator ⚡️powered by gener8tor, led by Kellie C. and Amanda Williams, I’m so grateful for the transformative experience and connections made along the way. 🌱 Why Heartful Sprout matters 🌱 1 in 3 children in the U.S. face preventable nutrition-related health conditions, costing over $180B annually. Eating habits formed by age 5 stick for a lifetime, making early intervention critical—especially in under-resourced communities. We’re addressing root causes to build a healthier future. Alison Smith Jiri Fiala But more importantly, I would like to share health tech trends I have observed during this program: 1️⃣ Early detection and prevention are saving lives. Acting sooner not only reduces suffering but prevents downstream costs to patients and systems. ⏱️ CheckMySpot was the perfect example of detecting skin cancer before becoming severe. Elizabeth Webb Joseph Webb 2️⃣ Broadening the focus of care I have seen more efforts in bringing overlooked demographics into the conversation. 🤝 It has never occurred to me that fertility solution has been heavily on women until Hera Fertility (Techstars '23) launched at-home fertility test kit and solutions. Thivaher (Thiv) Paramsothy April Rutter 3️⃣ Improving patient compliance and engagement Despite advances, better patient compliance and engagement are still needed to improve outcomes and reduce costly readmissions. 📈 OrbDoc is changing hospital discharge process to prevent patients from readmissions. Abdus S. Muwwakkil Sudharsan Ananth 4️⃣ The push for healthcare workforce efficiency continues Technology helps reduce strain on overworked providers while improving care delivery. 🏥 segMedix Co. focuses on radiologists' efficiency using real-time prostate cancer imaging AI technology. Ray Fujita Kenny Burzynski 5️⃣ Personalization is becoming central—tailored solutions are helping people achieve better results and feel more empowered in their care. 6️⃣ Addressing health disparities with accessible solutions is unlocking healthier futures for more communities. ✨ What made this journey special: ✨ Through the accelerator, my team connected with 50+ mentors, partnerships, potential clients, and investors who kindly shared invaluable insights. This cohort wasn’t just a group—it became a family, including our A-team EIRs (Scott Frederick, Michael Catalano, Taylor McCown, and Jessica). And thanks to the relationships we built, Birmingham is now a second home base for us. Yes, Birmingham is a special place for Health Tech. This is just the beginning. We are excited to keep building, growing, and making an impact. Thank you again, Mickey M. Matt Hottle J. W.

Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ Alabama Is a Growing Health Tech Hub There’s something special brewing here with passionate people driving real innovation. 2️⃣ It’s the Perfect Place for Hera Fertility (Techstars '23) From strong advocacy groups like ASRM to incredible REIs and urologists, a family-centered culture, and rural areas in need of care, Alabama confirmed why it’s ideal for building a fertility startup. 3️⃣ Community and Collaboration Matter Beyond the insights on growth, partnerships, and insurance, I’m especially thankful for the friendships forged with founders of four other game-changing health tech startups.
