About

Cordio has developed a monitoring solution for Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) patients using only a patient's speech, sampled via a mobile device. The system, Cordio HearO®, can sense fluid accumulation and allow health care professionals to manage their CHF patients remotely. Cordio HearO™ is easy to use, non-invasive CHF monitoring device with great patient compliance. 

Cordio's product is patient-dependent (i.e., each patient serves as his or her own baseline) and language independent. It is comprised of a recording application operating on a patient device such as mobile devices, computer, Alexa device, (etc.), with an analysis software operating on the cloud. During monitoring, samples of the patient's speech are analyzed and compared to the model, measuring the differences which are characterized as the target disorder.

About

DermaSensor, Inc. has commercialized the first FDA cleared, automated device that provides an objective skin cancer risk result to American’s one million physicians who are not already experts in assessing patients for skin cancer (e.g. family doctors, internal medicine doctors, gynecologists). The DermaSensor™ device enables these physicians to non-invasively and effectively test lesions for all common types of skin cancer, specifically melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. The patented spectroscopy technology utilized in their handheld device has a published sensitivity of 95.5% from their FDA pivotal study with over 1,000 patients and uses a simple 0-10 malignancy risk level scale to improve physicians’ management of suspicious lesions. Literature shows that primary care physicians' sensitivity for correctly referring cancerous moles is as low as 54%.

About

Transforming surgery with its proprietary surgical robotic technology. Momentis has set out to surpass today’s best solutions through: better clinical outcomes, reduced footprint, versatility, and cost.
They are the first robotic solution to receive FDA authorization for transvaginal gynecological procedures.

The Anovo™ Surgical System features unique robotic instrument ARMS that mimic the movement of the surgeon’s shoulder, elbow and wrist, offering high dexterity, multi-planar flexibility and unprecedented articulation. The ability to articulate the ARMS enables the transvaginal approach to benign gynecologic procedures and surgeons are able to use the familiar fundus to cervix technique without the need for multiple abdominal incisions. Anovo requires a much smaller footprint and costs significantly less than conventional robotic systems, making it possible for more hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers to acquire the system.

Accuryn addresses a critical unmet need with respect to kidney functioning monitoring by offering a comprehensive solution that significantly enhances patient care and hospital efficiency. The Accuryn Monitoring System has the ability to detect and enable earlier intervention in Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) as much as 33 hours ahead of the current standard of care that relies on a Serum Creatinine (SCr) blood test, based on KDIGO. This early detection capability may improve patient outcomes, reduce the costs incurred by hospitals, with the potential of becoming a critical tool in the management of AKI.
