Last week the mobihealthnews team attended part of the Wireless Life-Sciences Alliance meeting out in La Jolla, California. One of the founding members of the Alliance, mid-market investment firm TripleTree, announced its inaugural wireless life-sciences innovation/insight/initiative awards: the I Awards.
TripleTree explained that the awards aim to “showcase companies that are delivering and developing disruptive technologies and services that demonstrate innovation, insight and initiative in the wireless life-sciences sector.”
