Biology
– Early stage start-up neurotechnology company developing a medical device for Sensor Evaluation of Neurologic Status in Emergencies (SENSE) in response to a large unmet market need.
– A non-invasive radio frequency based device that detects sudden signal changes in brain status in seizures, hemorrhage, or increased brain swelling.
– 1st non-invasive, continuous device monitor – Portability for use in field, OR, ED, patient room – Low cost and greater effectiveness than CT, EEG, BIS and MEG – Potential major health care savings through
radiation or highly-trained experts)
Raising 1st capital round
– Early stage start-up company focused on electrofluidics-based display products, with 4 platforms demonstrated and under development
– Electrofluidic display technology for various e-Paper applications such as
eBook readers. Also applications for store product labels and signs
– High brightness and optimal readability in direct sunlight. – Flexible, even rollable/foldable displays allowing large i-Pad type screen sizes to be stored with the pocket size of a smart phone. – Full color and video capabiklity. Since the displays – No backlighting with extremely low – no heavy batteries
raising A round
– Early stage start-up focused on technology for real-time capture and analysis of eccrine sweat via wearable sweat sensor – Strategic “vertical” business model for maximum horizontal positioning across markets with vertical segment preservation for maximum economic potential.
enables the real-time capture, sensing, measurement, and wireless communication of biomolecules to smart phones and other reporting devices for monitoring status of multiple physical conditions.
– Novel approach for measuring biomolecules – Applicable to 3 huge markets: elite performers, medical diagnostics, consumer lifestyle management. (Potential $2B global market) – Proof of concept, 4 platforms demonstrated, and prototype established – Low manufacturing Cost
– Start-up company developing diagnostic device that measures bone quality enabling better identification of patients at risk for osteoporosis- related fractures than is possible through bone mineral density measures. Prototype and clinical validation data completed.
– A device and related software to measure Bone Shock Absorption energy in mild shock waves from normal activities (walking, foot tapping)
– Significant health care savings through more effective determination of and treatment recommendations for osteoporosis related bone fractures – Low cost technology and easy patient access – Portability and ability to use in standard patient examining room
