Catalyst by Wellstar

Celebrating Atlanta's Thriving Tech Ecosystem: Congratulations to the 2024 ATDC graduates! The event last night is an inspiring reminder of Atlanta's dynamic startup ecosystem, where innovation and entrepreneurship flourish! Our own Eddie Chen, MPH, Digital Innovation Manager at Catalyst by Wellstar, captured the energy perfectly: "It was an honor and privilege to be invited to last night's ATDC graduation celebrating the achievements of 10 great companies. Connecting with previous graduates and alumni, other sponsors, and being able to reflect and celebrate, I felt empowered by all the brain power." Eddie highlighted powerful words from Brad Raffensperger underscoring why a clear vision and support are crucial for startups to thrive. "Without a vision, you don't have a business. ATDC has supplied a platform and coaching because building a business is not easy." Kudos to ATDC on another great graduating class and to all who continue to support the Atlanta startup ecosystem. ATDC has been instrumental in providing the platform and coaching that entrepreneurs need to turn their dreams into reality. Together, we're shaping a visionary future for startups! #ATDCGraduation #CatalystByWellstar #Innovation #AtlantaTech #Startups #Entrepreneurship #Venture

Nurses make a profound difference in the lives of patients and their families, day and night. But the way their shifts are scheduled has not evolved with technology, leading to burnout and shortages. Developed from extensive research on the issue with nurses and nurse managers, vflok, places connected communities of nurses at the center of the scheduling process. It's also the first company started by Catalyst in partnership with leading venture builder High Alpha Innovation, and we're proud to highlight it at this year's HLTH Inc. Conference. Watch vflok founder John P. Sheehan, as he describes how we aim to solve this problem by embedding advanced machine learning models and generative AI into the scheduling workflow. This will empower nurses to shape their schedules together, arrange in-system coverage when unexpected events happen, and eliminate the opaque nature of schedule development.   Visit vflok and Catalyst by Wellstar at Booth #4054, across from the Nurse Innovation Pavilion and Digital Health Hub, to learn more about how Catalyst is driving healthcare innovation through our investments and partnerships. We’d love to connect!   #Nursing #AI #HLTH #WorkLifeBalance

HLTH 2024 is off to a great start! Our own Anna Edwards, Analyst at Catalyst is at the conference and gives us her insight. "The energy is palpable and the innovations are groundbreaking. There is so much going on here in terms of innovation. At Catalyst, we have a thesis that those closest to patients should help shape the problem statements, and ultimately the solutions, that startups create. So it’s been exciting to see nurses, clinicians, and providers create innovative solutions to the problems they experience daily. From understanding the youth mental health crisis to how we should approach menstruation care in the modern age, there’s no shortage of unique solutions to important problems being showcased on the expo floor. Today our team got to meet Jannine Versi, the Co-Founder and CEO of Elektra Health, a company on a mission to smash the menopause taboo. Also, the focus on Al is incredible, with so many discussions about its potential to transform healthcare -from streamlining administrative tasks to enhancing patient care. They’re also tackling vital issues like the patient experience and telehealth. We're looking forward to engaging with so many passionate leaders in the field. If you’re a startup or investor, come by our booth to chat all things healthcare disruption!"
