wellconnected: Helping the People Who Help

America’s fourth largest industry struggles to technically catch up with the times and develop true standards for communication and accountability.

Into that gap arrives wellconnected, a Buffalo, New York startup seeking to lend a hand to social services and community service providers closest to home.

Duane Conners told Brown and White Ventures podcast during a conversation in Williamsville, NY that his startup’s transforming how people access services; regardless of what kind of service the person needs.

Through its allco platform, wellconnected binds a region’s agencies into seamless, efficient and more productive community assets, for both those seeking social services, and also services provided by: healthcare, housing, food, education and local government.

“It’s a model that allows the tech to be that cobweb sticks everyone together. And allows for a digital no-wrong-doing.”

Conners, a former lead at Kaleida Health, designed allco in partnerships with hundreds of organizations to unify onboarding and share collaborative case coordination.

“Any agency, any one you speak with on the platform, allows you access to all of the services you need, near or far that most effectively help you.”

Conners said his eight-year-old platform helps people who help people, including those on the ground working in food pantries, homeless shelters, school districts, county governments. It allows those organizations and their members to digitally collaborate.”

Chicago and Cook County, Illinois, West Virginia, parts of New Jersey and Buffalo and Western New York implement allco and see their service enhanced through allco platform.

“Our industry; most of it is ad hoc. And that’s what humans are. We work with individuals and individual care plans. But all those agencies don’t have communication tools and integration that can best support success,” Conners said.
