We’re thrilled to announce that following months of scouting, Plexal and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have selected 11 startups to join the EMEA cohort of the first ever global AWS Healthcare Accelerator.
Our four-week programme is designed to create positive impact for the healthcare workforce. AWS and Plexal are delivering the accelerator to ease the healthcare workforce shortages that have placed patients awaiting treatment at risk, a symptom of the pandemic, burnout and decreased budgets.
The aim is to leverage innovative technologies that can enhance support and close the gap between healthcare workers and efficient patient care.
Plexal are joined by AlchemistX in the delivery of this international accelerator programme, with Plexal supporting startups from across EMEA and AlchemistX focused on companies in North America. See all the startups on the Americas cohort led by AlchemistX here.
The 11 exciting startups joining us and sharing our mission include:
Babble
Babblevoice helps relieve surgery demand pressure by integrating with clinical records and offering specialist features like automated appointment booking, critical-care management, staff bypass lines, panic buttons and more. There’s a far greater demand for surgery services than there is capacity to supply that demand, which leads to scared and angry patients and stressed and abused staff.
