ADAMM was named the best innovation in the Healthcare and Wellness category, and the device's maker, Health Care Originals, Inc., was named Innovator of the Year for 2016. Congratulations to Mark, who also credits UR Ventures and its director, Scott Catlin, for helping move this exciting technology from the lab to a marketable product.
