Beyond Lucid Technologies Wins 2012 DC to VC Health IT Showcase

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct.11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Beyond Lucid Technologies, Inc., the company behind MEDIVIEW™—a mission-critical productivity tool and clinical documentation platform for the ambulance, fire, and industrial emergency response industries—yesterday was named winner of the 2012 DC to VC Competition, organized by Menlo Park-based Morgenthaler Ventures and held here in conjunction with the Health 2.0 conference. 

The company's co-founders, Jonathon Feit (CEO) and Christian Witt (President-CTO), released a joint statement: "We are humbled and honored to have been chosen as 'best of breed' from among such a sterling cohort of healthcare-focused applications.  We're thrilled that emergency medical service providers are having a long-overdue moment in the sun: the brave medics we serve do their jobs selflessly, yet their expertise is rarely credited.  And always in the back of our minds are William and Sarah Witt—Chris's father and sister—who were killed in a car wreck in 2006.  Our success is dedicated to their memories."
