An Akron-based startup is hoping to be a beneficiary of the increased investor attention that mobile health app developers have been receiving in the wake of a recent high-profile initial public offering.
If medical app developer Epocrates’ $86 million IPO represents a rising tide for all mobile health companies, northeast Ohio’s iRx Reminder LLC may soon find its boat being lifted.
The Akron company is taking a different tack than most mhealth developers, however, aiming its app — at least initially — at researchers instead of consumers.
