Rock Health Debuts Second Class, Sends Half Of Incoming Batch To Work At Harvard Medical School

DSC_5604Late last week, San Francisco and Boston-based healthtech accelerator Rock Health held demo day for its second batch of startups at Practice Fusion's headquarters. The thirteen companies pitched their ideas for making healthcare cheaper, more social, intuitive, and just generally less of a pain in the ass. Even though these companies have a hard road ahead, there are ideas here that, with some iteration and funding, could have have a big impact on the space -- and your health. Check them out here.The accelerator also just kicked off its third batch and the first to be located in Boston. Rock Health co-founder Halle Tecco tells us that they actually just sent seven of these startups to build their businesses at Harvard Medical School. "This is the first time that an incubator has sent startups into a hospital to work," she said, "and we think it will be invaluable for the teams participating." Think we'll call this the new "Rock Health residency."
