Malay here from Rock Health—you're absolutely right. We have two close partners in the area (UnitedHealthcare and Mayo both) and come out once or twice a year.
I'd love to connect with the community next time I'm in the Twin Cities. Send me an e-mail (in profile or malay@rockhealth).
You should also get in touch with John Fein [0], who's running the Sprint/Techstars Accelerator [1] in Kansas City. They're doing mobile health, starting (today, as it happens) with ten companies.
Like the Twin Cities, KC has a growing health-tech scene, with Cerner and a slew of new companies. There are also more veterinary biotech companies here than anywhere else in the world, and many of them are looking for ways to bring their technologies into the human-health market.
