Startup Profile: Recalibrate Solutions (008)

Recalibrate Solutions (RS) is creating a stethoscope for stress health monitoring of kids. It’s a 5-minute, disposable cortisol test that helps identify kids suffering from toxic stress and get them connected to the help they need. The problem is toxic stress affects 17% of all US children and costs the healthcare system $748 billion each year, yet physicians have no objective way to identify who’s suffering. With the RS tools, the medical community can identify early signs of toxic stress in 5-minutes and connect kids to the help they need. What differentiates Recalibrate Solutions is the monitoring of stress biology. Current tools only assess a child’s RISK for adversity based on 10 experiences identified in the 1990s (ACEs). RS makes money with a razor/razor-blade model - a disposable, 5-minute test, evaluated using a small medical instrument.
