Ellipsis Health, based in San Francisco, CA, was named the
Innovation Champion in this year’s Challenge. By using the words
people say and how they say them, Ellipsis Health has pioneered an
artificial intelligence-powered, speech-based vital sign to
identify, quantify and manage depression, and anxiety symptoms at
scale. Its integrated behavioral health solution aids time-strapped
healthcare providers (frontline workers, PCPs, case managers,
nurses, etc.) and payers to reliably identify and stratify patient
populations – facilitating scalable behavioral health screening and
longitudinal monitoring of symptoms and treatment efficacy.
“Thank you to the Accenture HealthTech Innovation Challenge and
to the high-caliber of judges for recognizing Ellipsis Health’s
unique role in pioneering a new clinical standard in mental health
care using AI and the unique power of voice,” said Susan Solinsky,
co-founder, CGO & COO, Ellipsis Health. “We are honored to have
joined a cohort of companies who are transforming health care
through technology and for the opportunity to amplify the
importance of voice for measurement-based care in mental
health.”
Additionally, the Challenge’s Top Innovator is SimX, located in
San Francisco, CA. The company brings virtual and augmented reality
to medical simulation training. With its completely immersive
environments, SimX is used to train physicians, nurses, and other
allied health professionals in a variety of medical scenarios.
Furthermore, the platform allows medical teams to replace expensive
mannequins with a low-cost, wireless VR headset, and an incredibly
flexible virtual patient.
Dr. Ryan Ribeira, CEO, SimX said, “The challenge has been an
exciting journey, and we’re delighted to be named the Top
Innovator. At a time when healthcare innovation is front of mind
for everyone, we’re honored to be recognized among a finalist group
that is having a tremendous impact on the cost, quality, and equity
of the medicine we deliver.”
The awards were presented after a round of pitches and judging
on September 28 in a virtual event. The judging panel included
executives from globally recognized health and venture capital
companies, providing the eight finalists with exposure and access
to industry-leading experience to help bring their ideas to

services at Accenture, said, “we received a diverse group of
innovative digital health solution submissions this year. These are
companies reimagining healthcare in ways that will improve access,
experience and outcomes for all people, and we look forward to
