Digital health took SXSW by storm (literally) as Anne Wojcicki laid out her vision for the future of preventative medicine, ThriveOn took home the gold at the SXSW Accelerator, Bill Nye declared that technology, science, and startups are intimately related, and we brought the bacon, booze, and biosensors to SXSWearables.

Rock Health is on the hunt for the best digital health companies. Join our portfolio and build something useful. Here are some ideas we’d like to fund.
