Jim Fruchterman, Benetech`s founder and CEO, was an engineering student at Caltech when he learned how pattern recognition technology could guide a missile to its target. “If you could use this technology to recognize tanks or bridges,” Jim thought, “perhaps you could also recognize letters and words. Then we could use software to read those words aloud to people who are blind.” Years later, after a stint as a rocket engineer, Jim cofounded a VC-backed tech company called Calera Recognition Systems. Calera invented the first successful machine that could read almost any printed font without requiring human training. The products based on that technology had many commercial applications, but Jim hadn`t let go of his earlier idea. Soon he and the Calera team began prototyping a reading machine for the blind. Calera`s investors were impressed that the reading machine worked; however, they didn`t want to pursue Jim`s vision as it would generate negligible profits and take the focus away from developing more profitable products. Jim realized his dream didn`t fit in with the for-profit model. In 1989, Benetech was born with a business model intended to keep costs low for users. The organization quickly became the largest maker of affordable reading systems for the blind. Due to limited revenue to invest in new ideas, Jim decided to sell the reading machine product line to a for-profit company and reinvest the money from the sale—$5 million—to expand Benetech to new frontiers of social good. Today, Benetech continues to be a different kind of tech company—a nonprofit—with a pure focus on developing software for social good. More than two decades after our founding, we`ve grown to include multiple program areas and initiatives that provide software to improve—even transform—the lives of people all across the world. You can read more about our work through our four main work areas: Education, Human Rights, Environment and Poverty. As a nonprofit tackling tough social issues, the funds to identify and develop new software solutions come from individuals, foundations, corporations, partner organizations, and agencies. Please consider supporting our work or partnering with us. Together, we can ensure that all of humanity benefits from technology.
We are a Customer Service business first. We consult with you to discover your technological needs in order to satisfy your business requirements.

The San Diego Regional Healthcare Information Exchange (San Diego Beacon) is a partnership of health care providers, clinics, hospitals, emergency medical services and public health organizations. The quality of health care in San Diego is high, but we can always improve it—and we can make it more affordable. San Diego Health Connect exists to improve the quality and cost of our health care system. We believe that community-wide health information exchange is the foundation for quality and cost improvement. When every individual`s protected health information is securely available to their doctors when and where they need it: • Doctors can provide better, more informed care. • Duplication of tests and procedures decreases. • Costs go down. San Diego Health Connect securely connects hospitals, health systems, patients, private health information exchanges (HIEs) and other health care stakeholders—so that they can share important health information. As a not-for-profit organization, our sole purpose is to serve every member of the community and improve health care for everyone. We are the health information utility that unifies the San Diego health care ecosystem.We deliver an infrastructure for health information exchange that spans the entire community—across organizational boundaries and technology vendors. Since no individual visits one health system or doctor to receive 100 percent of their care, our community needs a utility like San Diego Health Connect that connects all providers and HIEs. That way, every patient`s vital health information is available to their doctors—no matter where they receive care.
