Thanks to
Melissa Breth, DNP, RN, NI-BC
at GIC HIMSS (Greater IL Chapter of HIMSS) for allowing Fractl Consulting to find speakers for the inaugural Innovators Showcase. With the theme "Health Tech Horizons: Navigating the Future," we targeted Chicago-based companies looking to showcase their innovative solutions in the healthcare sector.
Seven companies were selected and had five minutes to speak about their business. The goal was to highlight these companies for future success, so no winner or monetary prize was offered at the end.

For me, Scripted would have the biggest impact on my life. At 30, I decided to start going for a yearly physical, but I would love a more convenient option than my doctor's office for days when I'm sick and need a quick solution.
