RockHealth Opens Incubator to Get the Web 2.0 Generation into Healthcare

We've written about the younger generation of consumer Web entrepreneurs taking on enterprise software, aiming to make truly usable business software that-- to put it bluntly-- doesn't suck. Now, at least one group is aiming to apply all the lessons of the consumer Web and �mobile apps to revolutionize another neglected, stodgy industry: Healthcare. RockHealth, a new incubator for healthcare IT startups, opened its doors for applications on Friday and has already received more than forty submissions. RockHealth's founder Halle Tecco didn't want to spill the beans on specific ideas, but examples include home health monitoring apps via the iPhone that can update physicians on chronic conditions or iPad games that can be used as hospital therapy for sick kids. This isn't your parent's healthcare IT movement.
