Screen shot 2011-11-03 at 10.12.03 PMWant to predict what your personal health will look like tomorrow, or 10 years from now? Well, look no further than 100Plus a new stealthy health startup founded by Chris Hogg, a healthcare and health data research specialist and Ryan Howard the Founder and CEO of free EMR service, Practice Fusion. Essentially, 100Plus is a personalized health prediction platform that uses data analytics and game mechanics to show just how much small changes in one's behavior can lead to a longer and fuller life. And for their own financial health, the startup announced this morning that it has raised a $500,000 round of seed funding from Founders Fund via its own founder and managing partner, Peter Thiel. Thiel, for those unfamiliar, is the co-founder and former CEO of Paypal and was the first investor in Facebook.
