Executives leave their businesses to enter the old-age medical field

The many challenges in the field of geriatric care and care have led to a growing number of executives of technology companies leaving their businesses to try to solve this real problem. At the same time, the major technology companies have expanded the scope of welfare, the staff's parents also included as a protection object. For years, Stefani Dylenneus, Google's business director, Stephanie Tilenius, has been shouldering a dual role in coping with busy jobs while helping to care for ailing parents. The experience prompted her to leave Google in 2012 and set up a company dedicated to helping patients cope with chronic illnesses. Earlier this year, Dylenneus's company unveiled Vida, a mobile application that facilitates patients to consult professionals through smartphones, including doctors, nurses, and nutritionists. The program pays 15 dollars a week to give medication reminders to patients. The patient's caregivers and family members can also visit the app to get an idea of the patient's latest progression. Dylenneus says her father can't stand regular medical advice, but it could have helped him lose weight and relieve stress. His father eventually died of a heart attack. From the patient's point of view, I think we are very short of resources. Dylenneus said in an interview. In fact, more and more Silicon Valley executives have resigned from their jobs to develop mobile and digital health services, many of whom are older, smaller "sandwich families". In an interview, many people said they left their businesses because they had a deep experience in caring for the chronically ill, and found that the American medical system had trouble providing the right services for such people. Some say they are looking for customers and partners from their old club. After having experienced a similar experience in caring for the elderly, Mongal Shaha, Munjal SHah, left the company in October 2011 to develop an application called HI.Q, in the hope of enriching people's health knowledge. Sannier Gupta Suneel Guptal, a former Groupon product development director, also left office in December 2012 to create a nutritional application called rise, which serves people like his parents who are suffering from diabetes, cancer and obesity. Caring.com is a community forum that can provide a variety of information for caregivers. Andy Cohen, founder of the company, said he resigned as SuccessFactors vice president after his parents Cohen. SuccessFactors is a talent management software developer who was acquired by SAP in 2011. Annis Chopra Aneesh Chopra, the former chief technology officer in the United States, said the massive influx of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs into the healthcare industry could lead to less cost, better care and better services. Chopra is currently co-founder of Hunch Analytics, a start-up company. Missi Kra, general manager of Health and Life sciences, cloud computing companyMissy Krasner said it was difficult to recruit talent from large technology companies to solve medical problems. They believe that health care is a closed area and under great regulatory pressure. "he said. Krasna once worked for Google's Googlehealth department, which was designed to store online cases, but was closed in 2012 because it failed to make much headway. Since 2012, Google has increased its focus on wearable tracking devices to further deepen the health and ageing markets. The company has supported a biotech project called Calico, which hopes to study the disease and ease the pain. In addition, Google and pharmaceutical companies AbbVie established a cooperative relationship. At the same time, Apple has announced it will enter the healthcare sector, initially looking to focus on fitness and health. Expanding employee welfare venture capital, Venrock Medical Technology partner Blaine Roberts, says that for engineers and entrepreneurs looking to find new markets, focusing on older people can broaden their horizons. This kind of project also gradually obtains the fund the favor. According to Rock Tiyatien, a venture capital firm, Digital healthcare companies received a record $2.3 billion trillion in financial support this June, over 2013 years and 1.9 billion dollars. Technology companies are also exploring ways to provide health care to their employees and even extend the benefits to their parents and other families to enhance the competitiveness of the talent market. Twitter said the company had allowed employees to add one extra person to the health plan in 2014-usually their parents. Twitter will also cover all relatives and even cohabiting couples next year. According to people familiar with the matter, Facebook's welfare team also plans to expand the health benefits of its employees ' parents, covering more virtual medical services. Facebook says it will provide its employees with benefits that cover the entire life cycle. The latest batch of startups, including Vida, is also digging up business and talent from their old club. Dylenneus says large companies are interested in offering her applications to their parents. The digital medical start-up company Grand Rounds Tiyatien can provide patients with a second set of medical programs. Owen Tripp, the company's CEO, said the Owen Tripp of the technology company's welfare chiefs would have exceeded his expectations and might even extend to employees ' parents. Grand Rounds and Vida declined to disclose the status of potential customers. Employees need to know their parents ' health in a variety of ways. "For employers, the goal is to give employees more time to serve the company," says Mr Tripp. ”
