Innovation: Curious About Who's Most Likely To Change Health Care? Watch the VC Firms…

Revolution Health

I’ve mentioned these folks before, but Steve Case (yes, the same Steve Case that started AOL) is looking to develop companies that support “sustainable living and wellness lifestyles” – clearly something our mainstream health system has struggled to do. For a quick glance, check out some of their recent investments:

Exclusive Resorts
Flexcar
Miraval

Bill Ericscon and Mohr Davidow Ventures

MDV is looking for a new device that can identify new types of hospital-borne infections in just a few hours. Places they have already invested in:

ParAllele
Pharmix

And if you’re interested in who’s looking to invest in remote monitoring implantable devices, look no further than Corey Mulloy and Highland Capital Partners. Recent investments have included:

AccentCare
Archemix
YogaWorks

Too bad mainstream providers have the longest sales cycle on the planet and are slow to adopt such innovations in the marketplace.
