The Penn Center for Innovation held its 2015 AppItUP competition in November. Now in its third year, AppItUP received 313 submissions. Ten semifinalists were invited to pitch their ideas to a panel of investors and developers for a chance to win pro bono prototyping by a local web development firm and possible future business support from the investors. The finalists are:

AerO2Max: Basically FitBit, if FitBit worked. AerO2Max will piggyback on existing wearables to measure an exerciser’s oxygen intake and how efficiently the body is using it, in order to track longer-term health improvements. Hansell H. Stedman, faculty physician; Hansell C. Stedman, undergraduate student; Ben Kozyak, alumnus. Development partner: PromptWorks.

Animotion: This app helps patients, doctors and physical therapists track joint function easily and in real time, to better guide rehabilitative efforts. Sylvia Qu and Peter Gebhard, graduate students. Development partners: CloudMine and Excellis Interactives.

BeyondBars: An “alternative to brick-and-mortar prisons” for nonviolent offenders. Its creator, Alan Holden, says it offers a “gamified system…a point system. See your progress as you complete prosocial tasks. When you get 100 points, maybe you get your zone of movement or your curfew extended.” Alan Holden, graduate student. Development partner: WhiteLake Interactive.

CME Recording: This app allows physicians to more easily maintain their continuing medical education (CME) credits by monitoring their consumption of educational materials. This proved to be the most popular app, with two different studios fighting over development rights. Brian Jenssen, faculty physician. Development partner: Offshorent.

Nap Sats: Now you can track your sleep quality without having to stay overnight in dedicated facilities. Milind Patel, resident physician. Development partner: BrickSimple.

Park It: Make your driveway earn its keep by renting it out. This is basically Airbnb for event parking, with eyes to more general parking in the future. Taylor Mills and John Jimenez, graduate students. Development partner: Valex.
