About the founders
Greg Adams and Larry Triplett have had a long career of innovation having founded and built Resource Systems, a software company specializing in long term healthcare. The company developed a system for controlling medical supply inventory using bar code technology and, more recently, CareTracker, a touch-screen based system for tracking care in the long term care environment. Resource Systems was on the Inc 5000 fastest growing company list in 2004 and by 2011 had nearly 100 employees and was responsible for monitoring the care in nearly one third of all the nursing homes in United States.
In 2011, Cerner Corporation (CERN) purchased Resource Systems as a strategic move to expand its healthcare offerings into the long term care environment.
Triplett and Adams spent several years in philanthropic endeavors including regional economic and entrepreneurial development efforts.
In 2017, after learning about the challenges associated with shoulder impairment and traditional methods for rehabilitation, Triplett and Adams formed Triad Labs to transform the shoulder rehab experience using virtual reality and machine learning technology. Their product, Reach, is currently available on the Oculus Store as a non medical device.
