Iterative Health

Healthcare

Iterative Health

Iterative Health is pioneering the use of artificial intelligence-based precision medicine in gastroenterology (GI), with the aim of helping to optimize clinical trials investigating treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We use advanced machine learning and computer vision to interpret endoscopic images along with other types of data, helping clinicians to better assess patients with potential GI problems. This gives practitioners enhanced capabilities in the detection, annotation, disease scoring and treatment of GI related diseases. Iterative Health is initially applying these advances towards standardizing disease severity characterization for inflammatory bowel disease. Ultimately, the company aims to establish more meaningful endpoints to serve as better predictors of both therapeutic response and disease outcomes. The company is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Dispense

eCommerce

Dispense

Dispensaries know their customers better than anyone. Dispensary software should give them the flexibility and control needed to make the right decisions and offer exceptional service. Dispense provides cannabis businesses with simple-to-use tools to boost sales and manage operations - on your own terms. The eCommerce software empowers dispensaries to sell online, increase traffic, build customer relationships, and scale businesses. And with our customizable dispensary management functionality, everything integrates easily into your specific operation. Dispense is not a marketplace; you always own your data, so your efforts never benefit your competitors. That means better customer relationships and more online visibility.
