Startup Showcase 2021: WatchRx

On a special edition of the Accelerate Health podcast,  we continue our series of spotlights on unique digital health startups that are changing the face of healthcare. Each of these companies will also be featured at the hybrid event for HIMSS Global Conference and Exhibition in Las Vegas this August.This week, we speak to Jayanthi Narasimhan, Founder & CEO for WatchRx.  WatchRx provides a simple smartwatch with a dedicated reminder solution, GPS, emergency alert, fall detection and predictive analytics. Jayanthi founded the company to fill a gap in the market after caring for her senior mother and realizing there was no comprehensive, yet simple wearable focused on remote-patient monitoring. She wanted to help older adults with chronic health conditions manage their medications while giving caregivers and healthcare providers the ability to monitor remotely. To learn more about WatchRx, click here
