50 Most Daring Entrepreneurs Savvy founder, Jen Horonjeff, is featured by Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the 50 Most Daring Entrepreneurs of 2018!	Savvy Featured in Fast Company A new, collectively owned platform called Savvy connects healthcare companies and practitioners with patients who can directly inform their work–and get compensated for doing so.	Co-Creation With Patients Savvy founder, Jen Horonjeff, is highlighted in this piece by eyeforpharma about the importance of co-design in pharma.
Savvy Delivers on Patient-Centricity Patients are as much part of a healthcare system as doctors, nurses, scientists, technicians and the myriad other experts whose work we rely on to keep us well and treat us when we’re sick. In fact, in their own way, patients are often experts themselves, particularly those living with long-term conditions.	A New Movement for Patient Insights Chronic illness advocacy is pretty much a patchwork and not always as pretty as a quilt. Each condition has its own way of being engaged in feedback to organizations and actually connecting is very much a matter of luck. Savvy Cooperative is changing that.	Startup provides patient perspective Savvy’s approach is different. It is centered on giving patients the ability to connect with the company pitches that interest them. But to be considered a patient, participants needn’t have a pre-existing condition as many of the studies advertised on Savvy’s website or looking for healthy subjects.
Working Together Wins The Day If the constant talk about collaboration reflects an awkward truth, it’s that pharma’s silos too often silence the patient voice and stymie progress. Today, Jen Horonjeff was named this year's Patient Advocate for her efforts in breaking down these barriers — both in her personal and professional life — at eyeforpharma’s annual Philadelphia event.	Digital Therapeutics Are On the Rise According to an online survey produced in collaboration with Enspektos by Savvy Cooperative (www.savvy.coop), a patient-owned co-op focused on delivering consumer insights, more than one-third of respondents are worried these devices will be used to track their behavior in invasive ways, or that data will be sold to third-parties without their permission.

Read more about how Savvy's patient co-op not only helps patients share their experiences, but fairly values them as co-owners.
Platform Co-ops Are Coming for Uber These co-ops aim to reinvest in their users, employees, and communities, while valuing positive workplace practices in tandem with profitability.	Can Co-ops Displace the Gig Economy? Another health care startup is Savvy Cooperative, created by two founders who live with chronic illness. This marketplace connects healthcare innovators and researchers with patients so they can work collaboratively to co-create meaningful patient-centered solutions.	Savvy Cooperative Takes 3rd Place!
