AccuHealth's healthcare professionals engage remotely with the patients and their relatives wherever they may be to resolve pre- hospital stage complications, thereby avoiding up to 80% of emergency room visits. AccuHealth collects medical evidence from 8,000+ individuals and has developed a proprietary data- mining / predictive modeling platform. Today, AccuHealth monitors 3,800+ patients monthly in Chile and seeks to expand internationally. Algal Scientific has developed a feed additive called (AlgaMUNE™) which helps animal producers grow their animals (chickens, pigs, fish, shrimp, etc.) without the use of antibiotics with nearly the same economic return. The company's algae-based beta glucan product stimulates the immune systems of animals, translating to increased growth rates and improved feed conversion ratios. This is especially important for the largest producers in the world to meet the growing consumer demand for antibiotic free meat. The largely informal domestic cleaning industry in Mexico employs 2.4 million cleaning professionals (1/9 of Mexican women). Though, domestic cleaners represent the country's largest group of informal workers, it is wrought with underage workers and minimal regulation or workers' benefits. Compounding this is a lack of alternative careers for low-income women. Aliada attempts to fix this broken US$8 billion domestic cleaning market with its web platform that allows clients to schedule on-demand appointments with pre-screened professional cleaners in under one minute. Through this process, Aliada enables the professional cleaners to receive the benefits of formal work, transforming informal domestic cleaners into trusted and valued aliadas ("allies") of the home.
