Chicago Integration Demonstrates wellconnected Partnership with HIE’s

In its mission to change the way CBOs share resources and information through innovative technology solutions, wellconnected partners with health information exchanges. Founder and CEO Duane Connors company demonstrates this in its integration into Chicago and Cook County, Illinois. Chicago and Cook County selected wellconnected as its community information exchange “We’re helping build their HIE, but in real time, we’re allowing those community and social providers to interact with their clinical partners and if you have the right roles, we actually can have you click right through into your HIE so you can have all of those things right in front of you to make better interventions,” Conners said. “One of the really cool things we’re doing in Chicago is that ours is bi-directional,” Conners said. “If you’re a clinician, like visiting a homeless shelter, most of the time you’re trying to help out without any understanding of what that (person’s) medical background is. With our HIE, you actually have a really small snapshot summary that we build off of their complete fire record.” Conners said those who need direct access receive it through a single sign on which authenticates the user into the HIE. “So I can pull up their full medical record. I can see their vaccines. I see their prescriptions. I see allergies, and all the other things because I have the right too. Our HIE’s mirror their consent models . Now we’re not just collecting this information, we’re connecting the agencies. Conners said wellconnected’s lead platform, allco, partners within the Chicago/Cook County ecosystem have also been connecting with clinical information to enhance understanding for the last year. “We’re looking forward like having a lot more data behind those things so that we can start doing white papers different things like that in our partnership with her academic partners. “When it comes back to public health reporting and all those types of things we can marry those social interventions and clinical interventions and their outcomes and all of that other kind of good stuff.” It is service wellconnected provides in New York, New Jersey and West Virginia; all under the tagline: “We’re all in one place.” “That’s really what we do in a high level,” said Conners.

Stak Parking Solution Rises To The Moment

Stak Mobility & Energy is delivering a solution to an urban density crisis. By 2050, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities, driving power consumption up by over 50 percent. Parking in those cities, already at a premium, will become even more difficult to deliver. Stak's response: apply a proven human solution—vertical scaling—to mobility and energy. It is on display in Enso Village, a development in Healdsburg, California. Stak has installed an automated "carbarn" concept for its automated parking display system. Stak's structure at Enso Village stands in a 100-foot by 40-foot footprint. It can park and charge up to 108 vehicles; creating an efficiency of 35 square feet/vehicle compared to 300 square feet/vehicle for a typical parking structure. Stake eliminates the compromise between housing people and parking cars by delivering greater land-use efficiency and accessible clean transportation infrastructure driven by real-time data and dynamic energy consumption. Stak is already live in six markets, managing 5,000 automated transactions and 2MW of charging monthly. It is also pairing with battery storage and renewable energy to turn parking lots into virtual power plants (VPPs). With a $250M pipeline, Stak is rapidly scaling to realize its vision of deploying a clean transportation infrastructure and energy network at municipal scale while catalyzing the transition to sustainable cities.

Most Innovative Companies List Includes Hello Package

Atlanta-based Hello Package, a Brown and White Ventures portfolio company, has been named one of the Top 40 Most Innovative Companies in the state of Georgia, by the Technology Association of Georgia! Hello Package demonstrated this through its commitment to logistics and security in package delivery. One sector where its operational excellence shines is in HOA communities, which deal with the same package challenges that multifamily properties have been navigating for years. Those challenges include: theft claims, missing deliveries, and HOA staff spending hours every week on something that should run itself. It's led to package issues finding their way onto board meeting agendas alongside landscaping and budgets. The HelloPackage Modular Package Room is one of the solutions the company's developed to respond to HOA package delivery challenges. A standalone, climate-controlled unit, Hello Package's Modular Package room can be placed anywhere on a property, requires no major construction, and is ready in as little as 30 days. Communities like Old Edwards Reserve at Lake Keowee in Sunset, SC have already made the switch and their residents have not had to chase down a package since. More than 100 million packages were stolen in the US in 2025. For multifamily and HOA communities, that shows up as theft claims, resident complaints, and liability that nobody signed up for. Every HelloPackage room starts with PIN-controlled entry. Residents and delivery drivers each have their own unique access code, meaning only authorized people can walk through that door. Every entry and exit is logged automatically, so there is always a clear record of who was in the room and when.
