DENVER, CO – 22 Sep, 2016 – Matrix Analytics’ LungDirect, a nodule management software application, will be one of six finalists to compete at the 2016 Prime Health Challenge. After a competitive judging process, the final six companies will pitch their ideas to leading healthcare organizations. The three-month Digital Health Challenge targets companies seeking to pilot new health technologies and has linked 46 companies to investors and over 20 leading healthcare organizations since its inception in 2014. On October 19th, Prime Health finalists will compete for $150,000 in seed funding and the opportunity to pilot their digital health solution in a host institution. Prime serves as a Digital Health Integrator, accelerating the adoption and implementation of digital health technologies to enhance access to care, improve clinical outcomes and reduce costs. The event is free and you can register for tickets at Prime Health Challenge Tickets.
According to Matrix Analytics Founder and CMO, Dr. Aki Alzubaidi, “The opportunity to partner with Prime Health and the host sites will allow us to prove LungDirect can make a dent in lung cancer survivorship. As anyone who has been touched by cancer knows, time is everything. Lets get going!”
Dr. Aki, a practicing Interventional Pulmonologist in Denver, CO, developed LungDirect (https://lungdirect.com/) after much frustration in the disjointed care pulmonary nodule patients often receive. Dr. Aki and his staff were stuck using Excel spreadsheets and other dated mechanisms to manage nodule patients because the electronic medical record systems could not. Frustrated, and wanting to make a dent in lung cancer survivorship, he launched Matrix Analytics. Today, LungDirect offers an innovative way for providers to manage both lung cancer screening patients and other at-risk pulmonary nodule patients.
