The seven companies that are part of the inaugural cohort at AlphaLab Health, a healthcare and life sciences accelerator that supports startups, held a virtual showcase on June 9 that summarized the work they have accomplished. The event spotlighted companies ranging from Emergence Dental, which specializes in improving dental bone grafting, to Gus Gear, a medical product developer, and sovaSage, which uses digital technology to track sleep apnea. “What we’re really trying to do is take companies that have proven that they have something and truly accelerate their time to market,” says Megan Shaw with AlphaLab Health, which is a partnership between Innovation Works and Allegheny Health Network.
