Not Me is an app that puts you in control of your online identity. Thousands of accounts get compromised every day, without their owners knowing. The service knows that if someone is logging in from another country, or while I'm asleep or out for a run, that's not me. Even if your passwords get compromised, NotMe protects you by blocking access and lets you know that someone tried to hack you. Through Braintree, Not Me allows users to pay for the protection service with PayPal or a credit card of their choice.
While I Brush is a device/service that improves the toothbrushing experience by entertaining people while they brush, by playing videos for the the recommended amount of time to brush their teeth. The team created an IoT solution combining Arduino with a Windows tablet plus IR sensors to check when a tooth brush is placed or removed from its container. A premium subscription of $2.99/year, that would be paid via Braintree, builds an extended experience for the user.
Doctors frequently make patient care decisions based upon incomplete, fragmented or out-of-date patient health information (e.g. "Kevin’s Mom is currently a patient in Mt. Sinai and her managing physician has requested that his family email him her most recent information, because that’s literally the best way for him to get access to it"). OpenMD targets this problem with an open digital health data platform that collects patient information from a broad range of diagnostic sources, and securely shares it within the patient’s “circle of care” - his or her family, as well as his/her treating healthcare professionals. As a patient you can get more personalized care, and as a doctor you can make the best possible patient decisions, if you both have access to the most up-to-date patient health information.
