Angiogenesis Analytics, offers an ultrasound-based solution for detecting, localizing, and characterizing prostate cancer. Each year, over 1.5 million men undergo invasive biopsies with risks of infection, false negatives, and overtreatment. Angiogenesis Analytics eliminates these issues by providing a non-invasive, accurate, and cost-effective alternative, improving patient comfort and outcomes. With an estimated market value of USD 450 million annually, Angiogenesis Analytics addresses a significant global need for better prostate cancer diagnostics.

Nilocas offers a revolutionary solution for detecting coronary artery disease non-invasively and without radiation. Patients wear a lightweight chest patch that captures the sounds of turbulent blood flow through arteries using microphones and accelerometers. Advanced machine learning and AI rapidly analyze the data, providing a clear diagnosis in just 10 minutes. This innovation eliminates the need for costly and invasive procedures, making cardiac diagnosis more accessible in both clinical and non-clinical settings.

The Venous Stent is a new type of stent designed to help with conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Unlike older stents, this one can adjust in length and has multiple parts, making it more flexible and better for the veins. It helps improve blood flow and healing in the veins, potentially reducing the need for long-term medication.

Superseton is a special device used to help drain fistulas near the anus. Unlike the usual methods that can be painful, Superseton is smooth and doesn't need any knots, making it more comfortable for patients. It's easy for doctors to use and doesn't take long to apply. This makes it a better option for patients with conditions like Crohn’s disease, and it fits well with how doctors already work.

Aspect Neuroprofiles is tackling the challenges of diagnosing and treating Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by combining EEG technology with Artificial Intelligence. Their method objectively measures brain activity related to ASD, improving diagnosis accuracy and predicting treatment effectiveness. This approach aims to shift from subjective assessments to objective physiological measurements, offering hope for millions affected by ASD and mental health issues.

Porous GmbH has developed an ultrasound technology that accurately diagnoses cortical bone health, addressing the limitations of traditional methods. Osteoporosis affects millions globally, leading to frequent and costly fractures. Current diagnostics often miss early-stage bone deterioration, but Porous GmbH’s patented algorithms allow ultrasound to measure bone quality at a microscopic level for a safer and more precise method for early detection of osteoporosis, also reducing healthcare costs.

Foveo Fertility addresses the challenge of improving in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates by providing a stable physiological environment for egg cells. Unlike current methods that expose egg cells to air, leading to cooling and evaporation, Foveo Fertility ensures consistent conditions for optimal egg cell quality. This innovation also streamlines workflow in the IVF lab, reducing human error and saving time for embryologists. With no other product on the market offering constant physiological conditions for egg cells, Foveo Fertility aims to improve the lives of both lab workers and patients by maximizing the potential for successful pregnancies.

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.
