Services

According to Wired, the company exploits "a failing of the new federal and state health insurance marketplaces: a lack of quick recommendations tailored to specific needs of consumers."[1] It provides a search service for consumers to find a health plan that fits their unique needs and circumstances, "such as age, gender, illnesses, medications, doctors they want to see and smoking habits."[1] Other sources refer to this service as a "recommendation engine."[4]

In January 2015, Stride Health launched a new mobile-focused version of its healthcare recommendation engine.[8]

Personnel

The company was founded by Noah Lang (formerly of Reputation.com) and Matt Butner (formerly of [R/GA]).[1]

gollark: As far as I can tell, it basically just dispatches callbacks in an event loop thingy.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: I don't know if Nim actually has "async task things", but Rust async does.
gollark: Instead of blocking the thread it yields the async task thing.
