    Aris MD 

    Aris MD

    Aris MD uses diagnostic images (MRI, CT, X-ray, Ultrasound) to overlay over patients during surgery. The technology gives the surgeon a guided map of their patient’s anatomy and pathology or injury. This innovation shows the surgeon where to cut and–more importantly–where not to cut. With this map, surgeons know precisely where they are going just by looking at their patient. This saves time in the operating room, reduces the patient's time under anesthetic and saves lives.

    Dimer UVC Innovations

    GermFalcon®:  Covid-19 Response, Recovery and Prevention of the Next Pandemic

    In 2017 Dimer UVC Innovations introduced the GermFalcon®, so named because it is quite literally a winged predator of germs. This patented robot emits Ultraviolet “C” (UVC) light at a wavelength of 254 nm for peak germicidal effectiveness. The unique design allows rapid and thorough disinfection of all frequently touched services in an airplane cabin interior, including the passenger seating area, lavatories and galleys. The design is versatile enough to be used in aircraft with as few as 70 seats up to the largest wide-body aircraft currently flying.

    Qntfy 

    Quinn

    Qntfy’s tech sheds light on many tactical and strategic challenges induced by COVID-19. Quinn will improve the population's mental health as we navigate isolation and recovery, as well as health care professionals currently supporting the pandemic. Quinn provides insight, suggestions and personalized support to individuals, guided by analytics on data from their everyday life that they opt-in (e.g., wearables and social media). The technology permits scalable deployment and rapid experimentation with the latest clinical academic findings. Quinn, with permission, uses de-identified, aggregated population-level views to make mental health quantified and visible to policymakers and stakeholders in real time.

    Steelhead Composites

    Oxygen Pivot

    Steelhead, designs, engineers and manufactures lightweight vessels for aerospace and terrestrial gas storage; but in light of the current crisis and resulting incidence of oxygen supply shortages, Steelhead is performing a manufacturing base pivot to manufacture large, high‐pressure medical oxygen containers to battle COVID‐19. Once completed, this technology will also be applicable for human-crewed space missions that need lightweight, bulk oxygen storage.

    Tevosol 

    Ex-Vivo Organ Support System

    Tevosol is a medical device company developing EVOSS™ (Ex-Vivo Organ Support System), a portable and affordable warm perfusion machine that is the size and weight of the cold static storage cooler. By presenting a naturally functioning organ for complete evaluation, EVOSS will help surgeons transplant more organs from more donors. Tevosol's technological approach to achieve these goals is to build the body around the isolated organ and provide it with the necessary support to maintain and revitalize organ viability. Tevosol’s EVOSS has been developed as a multi-organ device, including hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys and composite vascular allografts (i.e., extremities).
