Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

NexHealth is a verifiable 'unicorn' (valued at ~$1B in 2022) with significant traction in the healthcare API and patient experience space. While the project submission form itself contained lazy and hyperbolic data (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'everyone'), external verification confirms substantial real-world utility, a team of ~200, and widespread adoption by dental and medical practices. The score reflects the high value of the underlying business, penalized moderately for the poor quality of the specific data entry provided.

Description
We connect patients, doctors, and developers to accelerate healthcare innovation. Our customers range from independent doctors offices like Grand Street Dental to public tech companies like SmileDirectClub. We help doctors modernize their businesses, help developers innovate faster, and help patients receive a modern healthcare experience.\n\nThe challenges we're tackling:\n1. Healthcare industry incentives are misaligned: Between doctors, insurance carriers, hospitals, pharma, and technology vendors, healthcare incentives are misaligned. Today, only the incumbents benefit. Any new business model like ours is inherently disruptive and faces resistance. \n\n2. Doctors are focused on healthcare, not technology: Doctors have one of the most difficult jobs. They simultaneously practice medicine and run a full time business which means they have little time to think about technology. We need to build products that doctors and their patients cannot live without.\n\n3. We’re constrained by time and bandwidth: Our business has grown faster than our company. We ruthlessly prioritize during planning sessions to execute on high caliber projects. That sometimes means pushing some high impact projects to the wayside because we value quality over quantity.\n\nHelp us accelerate healthcare innovation!
