Helps hospital patients find better post-hospital care. CEO and Founder Russ Graney saw the need for Aidin when his uncle was discharged from the hospital with nothing but a typed list of healthcare providers for guidance. The family chose one that happened to be nearby, and the uncle did not get the quality of care he needed. Now Aidin provides in-depth information to help patients and their families choose their best options.

• Companies like Gnip and Datasift are studying sentiments of customers using text analytics, and make it easier for other companies to analyse and study this data.

• Open Data enables social enterprises

to start up any where in the country,

reinforcing local economies by

enabling a new generation of small

businesses to be created.

• Open Data is a public good that

supports and accelerates businesses

across the economy, not just specific

companies in specific sectors.

government agencies.
