The story of wellconnected's use of trusted, connected data powering whole-person care across communities resonated at one of the nation's leading conferences on broadening social care. CEO Duane Conners joined with leaders from 4medica and the New Jersey Innovation Institute to deliver that message, and insights into their successful partnership, at the Civitas 2025 Annual Conference in Anaheim (September 28-30.) Conners showed how wellconencted's allco platform builds transformative processes in Chicago and Cook County, Illinois, as well as other communities in New York, New Jersey and West Virginia, through leveraged data to systemize and track social care. Allco's coordinated system improves processes and transparency and creates improved care for a community's most vulnerable. "At wellconnected, we believe true interoperability must go beyond clinical data to include behavioral and social insights that shape health every day," said Conners, wellconnected founder. “By partnering with 4medica and NJII, we're showing how connected data can empower care teams, strengthen communities, and deliver on the promise of whole-person care.” Conners and wellconnected, and their partners, hosted a featured session at the conference: Transforming Whole-Person Care: Unlocking the Power of Cross-Sector Data Sharing.

Hello Package's new package solution system includes a dynamic new release of tech built to make this startup take a new step forward. CEO Paul Favorov introduced how Hello Package will combine computer vision and AI to calculate package volume. Favorob said the enhanced system will boost tracking and security for residents of the properties benefitting from Hello Package. Drivers will also benefit from the computer vision and AI process. Hello Package, through its parent company, Package Solutions, is a portfolio company of Brown and WHite Ventures.

As packages began piling up on the doorsteps of America during the COVID-19 Pandemic, and porch pirates became a growing threat in its neighborhoods, the founders of Hello Package realized they could engineer a solution. Atlanta-based Package Solutions recognized security, efficiency and convenience could come together within the hallways of the nation's multi-unit housing developments and properties where single spaces filled with the needs of the isolated consumer. Hello Package has launched in apartment complexes and dormitories in the U.S. Southeast. Its CEO, Paul Favorov, told Brown and White Ventures Podcast the company is expanding West and into the Northeast. "We realized Hello Package is not just a technology company that solves package deliveries, it is a solution for drivers who need to make the delivery," Favorov said. Hello Package installs secure, accessible onsite space for convenient local package handling. It onboards and trains residents, delivery drivers and property staff, ensuring smooth operations and clear communication. Delivery alerts arrive for residents, who are led to the secure Hello Package pickup space at their property. It is there that packages, already dropped off by drivers with controlled keypad access to the space, have been stored by delivery drivers in shelving units assigned by the Hello Package system. Computer vision and tracking confirm package delivery and guide residents to the area within the space where they will find their package and, in seconds, find what they were expecting.
