fem therapeutics is a medical device company that develops Invisalign for gynecological use. Powered by artificial intelligence and 3D printing, the gynecology platform delivers patient-specific intravaginal devices for common pelvic health conditions. The first product is a custom pessary to manage pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence, which affects 50% of women throughout their lives. FemTherapeutics is building the infrastructure to enable expansion into other pelvic health categories, including menstrual and sexual health, labor and delivery, oncology, and more.
reach orthopedics has developed a shoulder implant to treat patients suffering from massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (MIRCTs). The Reach implant is designed to restore shoulder function, reduce chronic pain, and protect the acromion from associated stress fractures. Currently, there is no standard treatment for middle-aged people (40-70 years) suffering from MIRCT. The durability of the Reach implant makes it ideal for use in this layer, providing a bridging solution.
Pragmacrine research aims to change the world of neurological care with a remote patient monitoring system called PRIMS. This platform uses depth cameras along with patient-reported data to revolutionize the accuracy and efficiency of Parkinson’s disease diagnosis and monitoring.
