Introducing LarynxLock, prevents air leaks during surgery with a gentle pressure on the mouth's base, ensuring patients receive uninterrupted air supply. LarynxLock not only safeguards patients from complications but also reduces physical strain and surgery duration, offering a smart and cost-effective solution for improved surgical outcomes.

FlowView Diagnostics addresses the challenge of analyzing complex cell data from blood samples using multiparameter flow cytometry, vital for conditions like leukemia monitoring. They tackle this with an algorithm that quickly processes raw data, detecting Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) more accurately and rapidly than manual methods. In a case study, the algorithm analyzed 8 million cells in 2 minutes, presenting simplified results for quicker interpretation, reducing the risk of false negatives, and enhancing efficiency in leukemia monitoring.

MLA Diagnostics improves melanoma diagnosis, offering personalized measurement of malignancy levels. Traditional diagnosis often leads to overtreatment or undertreatment, resulting in patient distress or undetected cancer progression. By analyzing methylation, our test provides accurate prognosis, enabling tailored treatment plans and saving lives. With the melanoma therapeutics market on the rise, our innovative solution is poised to make a significant impact, improve patient outcomes and create opportunities.

Laparoscopic surgery, while effective, faces limitations in low-resource areas due to cost and sustainability concerns associated with CO2 insufflation. Gasless laparoscopy provides an alternative, that are costly and difficult to use. To address these challenges, LORESA has developed an affordable and user-friendly gasless laparoscopy retractor, designed with input from surgeons worldwide, offering improved usability and cost-effectiveness. This innovation, aims to democratize laparoscopic techniques, benefiting rural hospitals and developing communities.

TherageniX introduces an approach to improve bone implants by augmenting autologous bone grafts with regenerative gene therapies. Traditional bone repair methods face challenges like rejection, infection, and limited regenerative capacity. TherageniX's solution aims to enhance the regenerative bone grafts, improving functional outcomes and reducing donor trauma. This method bypasses regulatory and manufacturing hurdles, offering a promising advancement in bone grafting procedures.

ChARM, or the Children’s Automated Respiration Monitor, addresses the challenge of pneumonia misdiagnosis in low-resource settings. This battery-powered device provides accurate breathing rate monitoring for children under five, empowering healthcare workers to make correct diagnoses swiftly. By streamlining the diagnostic process, ChARM facilitates timely treatment, potentially saving thousands of young lives annually.

Pasithea improves treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition affecting millions worldwide. Traditional treatments like continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) face high refusal and dropout rates. Pasithea offers a non-invasive solution based on triggered kinesthetic stimulation. By detecting early signs of apnea or hypopnea and inducing a controlled response, Pasithea activates muscle control centers to prevent oxygen desaturation and associated cardiovascular risks, aiming to improve patient compliance and outcomes.

Nicolab tackles the challenge of stroke diagnosis and treatment by offering computational support through their portfolio of six algorithms. These algorithms analyze radiological images of acute stroke patients, providing fast and objective interpretation for physicians. With stroke affecting millions annually and significant economic burdens, Nicolab's solution improves decision-making speed and accuracy, allowing clinicians to assess stroke severity objectively and make timely treatment decisions.
