Heal Named TiE50 Award Winner at TiEcon

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Heal, the market leader in transforming healthcare through comprehensive in-home primary care, is excited to announce that it has been selected as a 2020 TiE50 Winner in the prestigious TiE50 Awards Program. This ten year old awards competition is a program of TiEcon, the world's largest conference for tech entrepreneurs. Heal was recognized for its innovative service that offers a combination of in-home care, telemedicine, and digital connectivity.

"For more than two generations, Indian-American entrepreneurs and medical professionals have made incredible contributions to this country's economy and healthcare industry," said Nick Desai, co-founder and chief executive officer of Heal. "As Indian-American entrepreneurs ourselves, my co-founder, Dr. Renee Dua, and I are proud to continue this tradition. Being recognized by the TiE50 Awards Program is a powerful endorsement of our mission to make home-centric primary care affordable and available to all."

"Doctors are able to do more in a patient's home than many realize. Life-saving care can be as simple as recognizing a fall risk or seeing a food insecurity first hand," said Dr. Renee Dua, co-founder and chief medical officer of Heal. "Healthcare is a fundamental human right, and we are on a mission to make it more affordable, close the gaps in the delivery of care, and change the healthcare system for the better."

"TiE50 again attracted high potential startups bringing innovation from different parts of the world. Besides the recognition associated with the TiE50 award, this year TiE50 also partnered with Meet the Draper's, a ground-breaking reality show to give an opportunity to some companies to pitch to the show," said Kamal Anand, TiE50 Program Chair.

"For over 28 years as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship and with a global footprint of half a million entrepreneurs, enterprise executives, and investment professionals, at TiE Silicon Valley we take pride in the fact that we have created TiE50, a strong 10-year-old brand for recognizing high potential startups," said B.J. Arun, President, TiE Silicon Valley.

The TiE50 Awards will be presented virtually to the winners during a ceremony on September 3rd. For more information, please go to https://www.tiecon.org/TiE50Awards2020/.
