1:30-2:00 p.m. Co-founders Alex Leyn, President and CEO and Mike Fisher, VP of Business Development and Marketing, and Holly Curtis, Director, Corporate Communications, Aterica Digital Health (www.aterica.com)

Aterica creates Veta, a smart case and smartphone app for EpiPen users. Veta connects those living with life-threatening allergies to their loved ones in emergency situations. The Veta smart case is transparent, with a smart cap of sensors and electronics to monitor and communicate, and a button for emergencies. The case and app are wirelessly connected, so carriers will receive a proximity alert on their smartphone if they’ve forgotten their EpiPen or if it is out of reach. Veta allows carriers to live more independent, confident lives.
