Integrating speedy pattern processing, analyte isolation and multiplexed immunoassays right into a point-of-care (POC) diagnostic platform is usually a gamechanger for customized well being, distant monitoring and public well being screening. BioMEMS Diagnostics seeks to realize this with a organic micro-electromechanical system (BioMEMS) — a non-invasive sampling of advanced organic fluids in a conveyable instrument delivering quantitative evaluation of biomolecule panels by ultra-high sensitivity electrochemical immunoassays (EC-IA). BioMEMS assays in a small, single-use cartridge can detect a single viral, bacterial or human cell or fragment, hormone, cytokine and different natural molecule in a single mL of pattern (femtomolar sensitivity). This ultra-high sensitivity surpasses most lab-based analytical strategies. BioMEMS assay panels have been demonstrated for anti-aging, infections, autoimmune and fertility purposes. The enterprise lately concluded a feasibility research with DSM N.V. and Bayer AG. Additionally, it begins delivery its Gen 1 benchtop analyzers to school analysis labs late March 2022. BioMEMS is domiciled in Michigan and is looking for early-stage funding.
MyBiometry’s mission is to finish bronchial asthma assaults. Bronchial asthma is an $82B drawback within the US with 10M assaults yearly and 16M uncontrolled sufferers. Bronchial asthma administration fails 62% of the time as a result of its reactive. Interventions solely happen after signs or assaults. Our platform combines patented diagnostics, biomarkers, and digital well being with machine studying and a care group to observe sufferers at dwelling. It prevents signs and assaults by delivering guideline-based teaching and schooling to sufferers in danger.
ENTvantage Dx is a medical trial stage diagnostics firm that gives Major Care and ENT physicians with well timed data on the reason for ear, nostril and throat sicknesses with a speedy, in-office diagnostic check.

When left untreated, repetitive concussions can result in power traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) inflicting vital neurological well being points starting from temper problems to dementia. The brainwave monitoring expertise is absolutely automated as an edge AI medical machine offering a right away physiologically related end result which via a telemetry function can concurrently alert a caregiver or dad or mum prompting a full mind well being evaluation by a clinician. Longitudinal monitoring utilizing HL7 protocol establishes a digital well being file of the mind which could be absolutely built-in into a person’s EHR. Via a novel medial machine as a service enterprise mannequin, we plan to supply our personal proprietary headband and leverage present helmet/headgear producer product placements as an adjunct.
