French startup 900.care wants to try something new.
Instead of buying a new bottle of shower gel every time you need some shower gel, the startup focuses on the active ingredients.
On your first order, you receive an empty, reusable plastic bottle with a pump.
The next time you need more shower gel or shampoo, you only need a new stick (and some tap water).
In addition to shampoo and shower gel, 900.care also sells foaming hand soap, dish soap, laundry and dishwasher tablets, as well as a few other products.

Hexa, the Paris-based startup studio that recently raised $22 million, is launching a new vertical focused on improving the healthcare system.
Julien Méraud, a senior team member of the French unicorn startup Doctolib, is joining the startup studio .
After a while, startups “graduate” from the startup studio and continue their life as independent companies — Hexa keeps a stake in its portfolio companies.
As Hexa starts to branch out to other verticals, the startup studio is also rethinking its strategy.
For the health vertical, Hexa is not only hiring Julien Méraud.

In a world where healthcare access is disproportionately skewed by geography and income, Forta Health raised a substantial round of funding to level the playing field a bit.
Forta defends its approach, saying it differs in some substantial ways from the ABA approaches from the bad old days.
Those are now very passé,” explains Christian Smith, co-founder and CMO at Forta Health, in an interview with TechCrunch.
Forta Health wants to ensure that those parents have professional support and training to be able to give higher-quality care.
Forta Health is exploring how to enhance family caregiving with technology, especially for chronic conditions and areas where the health system falls short.

Zoe Care is taking a different approach, by using existing Wi-Fi signals (and the way our bodies change how Wi-Fi reception works) to detect humans and their activities.
Using Wi-Fi signals is a pretty cool, non-intrusive solution that addresses the key issues of privacy and ease of use that often plague conventional remote monitoring technologies.
The device doubles as a smart plug, and uses a sensor to gather and analyze Wi-Fi signals.
If a fall is detected, these signals are translated into alerts on a mobile application.
The fall detector will be offered as a subscription service, around $20-25 per month in the U.S.,” says Piotr Antonik, co-founder and CTO at Zoe Care.

“I think crypto has always been made by very technical people and for technical people,” Johann Kerbrat, the general manager of crypto at Robinhood, said on the Chain Reaction podcast.
“At the end of the day, I think customers, when they use crypto, they don’t really care what is the protocol under it?
Robinhood users can do more technical things like transfer to its crypto wallet and use “advanced charts and autotypes where you can put, for example, a stop loss,” Kerbrat said.
The platform might not be as highly technical as one that’s crypto-focused, Robinhood is doing research to understand what customers want and are missing.
With that said, the platform still has 14 cryptocurrencies and one stablecoin, USDC, available for users to buy and sell.
