hint® inc., the San Francisco-based company founded by entrepreneur Kara Goldin in 2005, is a healthy lifestyle brand known for its delicious unsweetened flavored water. In 2017 hint launched a sunscreen spray that's oxybenzone and paraben free and scented with hint fruit essences, finally making sunscreen application an enjoyable experience. After having her third child, Kara was overweight, had adult acne and was generally low energy. She realized the diet soda she was drinking daily was the culprit, and switched to water. She saw results quickly but hated the taste of plain water, so she started slicing up fruit and putting it in her water, which was just the hint of flavor she needed to make drinking water enjoyable. She knew there were lots of other consumers who were addicted to sugary drinks but plain water was too boring, and when she couldn't find a product on the shelves like the one she created in her kitchen, she decided to produce it herself. hint helps people fall in love with water by using real fruit essences to make it taste great without any calories, sweetener or additives. Today it is available in the original hint still water, hint fizz® (sparkling) and hint kick® (lightly caffeinated), and comes in many delicious flavors including Blackberry, Watermelon, Crisp Apple, Pineapple, Cherry and more. hint water can be found in stores all over the United States, or purchased online at www.drinkhint.com. hint is the fastest growing flavored water in the United States, and the largest beverage on campuses in Silicon Valley. The brand has received numerous accolades, including Best Flavored Water (from Health, Men’s Health, and SELF magazines). With the launch of sunscreen, hint has expanded beyond beverage into a trusted band known for solving consumer problems around health. hint has a strong team working across the country, and is headquartered in San Francisco.

Wanda is a remote monitoring healthcare analytics and management company for primary care patients with chronic diseases. The Remote Monitoring System (RMS) channels data from patients’ home to the WANDA analytics module which highlights to clinicians which are high risk allowing action to be taken before they have an adverse event, potentially reducing hospitalisation rates. Wanda brings to life personalised medicine combined with secure computing and revolutionary data-mining and analytics which represent a paradigm shift in modern healthcare. Globally, 75 per cent of all healthcare costs are attributable to chronic diseases, with heart failure, coronary vascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and diabetes amongst the most costly. In 2010, the United States spent 17.6 per cent of its gross domestic product on healthcare, whilst the United Kingdom spent 9.6 per cent. A 2011 report from the World Economic Forum further predicts that if there were no change to chronic disease management, overall global healthcare costs up until 2030 will result in a cumulative output loss of $47 trillion, roughly 75 per cent of global GDP in 2010. Wanda is among the first movers in what will be a very large and fast growing market. The company is based in Silicon Valley and has an on-going collaboration with the Wireless Health Institute at UCLA.
