Upstream believes that prevention is better than cure. Its mission is to facilitate the shift to earlier preventative care delivery and support people to stay well for longer in the places they want to be.
Upstream has developed a solution called Bridgit™. Bridgit provides a unique ecosystem of products that support patients to take the actions needed to keep themselves well, reassure family members that all is OK and enable stretched care teams to provide focused earlier interventions. Bridgit uses Microsoft’s AI capability and cloud services, along with new hardware devices (home hub and watch) specifically designed for accessibility by an elderly population. A population who may not have access to the internet or know how to use mobile applications.
