Enhanced Medical Nutrition

Nutrition status and deficiency are risk factors in surgery associated with increased rates of mortality, complication, and delayed functional recovery. EMN has developed a novel and effective solution that empowers patients to prepare better and recover faster from surgery.

Fe Pharmaceuticals

Genuine breakthroughs in infectious disease are rare but this is one. Fe Pharmaceuticals (www.fepharm.com) is developing DIBI, a non-toxic, iron-binding copolymer, as a potent (<uM MIC), broad-spectrum, antimicrobial agent active against bacterial and fungal infections, including drug resistant organisms. DIBI augments a natural iron sequestration mechanism, hypoferremia, that starves infections for essential iron. DIBI is also effective against sepsis, inflammatory disorders, and cancer. This water-soluble polymer is ideal for many different routes of administration and has been characterized in 22 published studies. It is non-toxic in animal studies, and because of its unique mechanism of action, it is immune to the development of microbial resistance and inhibits the development of resistance to co-administered antibiotics with which it is synergistic.

Health Gauge

Health Gauge is a leading digital health solutions provider poised to disrupt the traditional healthcare industry by providing digital solutions which improve health outcomes while reducing costs and stresses on the overburdened healthcare infrastructure. Our patent-pending solution is a bespoke personal health monitoring & management system, combining best-in-class wearable health monitors with sophisticated AI-based software tools.

These leading edge therapies will allow patients with currently untreatable conditions; like traumatic injuries, cerebral palsy, MS and stroke; to gain independence and improved quality of life.

MIMOSA Diagnostics

MIMOSA Dx is battling inequity and a lack of data in skin injury assessment. The current standard of care relies on the human eye - Leaving true insight out of reach. Insights critical for assessing health of tissue in diabetes, PAD, pressure injuries and more. Existing technologies are time consuming, invasive or in the case of light-based technologies, like MIMOSA Dx, cannot account for pigmentation of skin.

MIMOSA Dx offers a handheld class II medical imaging device that, in less than a second, captures physiological data from tissue from all skin tones to better inform the clinical decision making process.

NanoTess

Vope Medical 

Vope Medical has developed an AI-driven software to address a significant unmet need for clear vision in minimally invasive surgery. The lack of automation in current cleaning processes brings frustration, increased errors, and poorer patient outcomes. We optimize the cleaning process by reducing the number of cleaning events through image enhancement and minimize disruptions by fully automating the cleaning process. This allows the surgeon to stay completely focused on the procedures they are performing by eliminating distractions that arise from the current cleaning process.
