Microscope uses AI for better health care

A zWORKS startup is using modern technology to create more responsive health care.

Mark Plaskow started PAEAN (pronounced ‘payin’) Clinical in January of this year after he sold American Health Technology. PAEAN has created an automated portable microscope to enable more points of care to do better medical testing using imaging, artificial intelligence, and telemedicine.

Plaskow previously worked in Africa where he worked with malaria and childhood cancerous diseases. A small team of entrepreneurs were inspired by his medical imaging technology and this ultimately led to the PAEAN.

“The most rewarding part of PAEAN is definitely that the mission is to make a permanent change for the better,” Plaskow said.

Featured Startup: Brackets For Good

Posted on March 29, 2018 by

Brackets For Good raises millions for charities nationwide

March Madness is in full steam and so is a zWORKS startup whose mission is to use March basketball fever to help non-profits.

Brackets For Good kicked off in 2012 and replaced the term March Madness with Fundraising Madness. It started with an idea from locals Matt McIntyre, Matt Duncan and Dave Cornelius who worked at Zionsville-based MOBI. One tournament has grown to 13 different tournaments across the nation, four full-time and one part-time staff.

The basic setup pits charities of similar sizes against each other based on how much money they raise. For each dollar donated, the charities get one point. The charities go through a registration process in the winter then take part in a tryout in January.
