At the June 26 session of the Healthcare Financial Management Association’s Digital Annual Conference, healthcare leaders voted for Voyant Diagnostics as the healthcare startup with the most innovative solution for bending the cost curve. Voyant is developing a diagnostic smart toilet platform that fully automates point-of-care urine testing. The platform expedites urine testing turnaround in high-volume settings like the emergency department, increasing patient throughput and capacity.
Other finalists in the competition included Paytient, an employer-sponsored payer of employees’ out-of-pocket healthcare expenses, designed to be used alongside a high-deductible health plan; RexPay, a mobile app, powered by artificial intelligence, that helps patients understand, track and pay all medical bills in one place; Symmetric Health Solutions, whose cloud-based platform provides hospitals with data and analytics to improve supply chain; and Odeza, a mobile patient communications and engagement platform.
