Overturn
Agents that fight payer denials for health systems, then sell what wins.
Overturn deploys an agent workforce inside a health system's revenue cycle that reads each denial, pulls the governing payer medical policy, assembles the clinical record and files the appeal, working through existing EHR and clearinghouse integrations rather than new infrastructure.

Labmesh
Agents that design, order and run preclinical experiments across a global lab network.
Labmesh gives a biotech or pharma scientist an agent that takes a hypothesis, decomposes it into assays, prices and routes each assay to a contract lab on its network, tracks samples, and returns structured results with the raw instrument files.

Kithring
A home fall sensor that wakes the nearest trained neighbour, not a call centre.
Kithring sells an older adult a small radar and audio sensor for the hallway and bathroom, ordered online for a flat price with a monthly subscription, that detects falls and long inactivity without cameras or a worn button.
