Ten new healthcare tech startups are taking part in Northeastern University's Roux Institute, with a year-long residency program that promises mentorship for the startups and innovation for Maine’s economy.
The Roux Institute, based in Portland Maine, is working with the state to bring entrepreneurs into the state.
This Future of Healthcare Founder Residency program is funded in part by two Maine healthcare providers: Northern Light Health and Maine Health, as well as the Maine venture fund.
Two Massachusetts startups are among the Roux cohort. Novobeing, based in Wakefield, is a startup that uses virtual reality technology as a way to reduce stress and anxiety. And Boston-based Parrots Medical Assistive AI is developing a platform for individuals with neurological disorders to communicate, as well as to provide cognitive support.
Each startup in the cohort will be mentored by entrepreneurs in the health tech field throughout the residency. This is the second such cohort.
