• ArtiMed is developing AI-based risk stratification software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools. These tools are designed to assist health plans and insurers to manage the challenges presented by long Covid and other post-Covid conditions within their populations. Additionally, they enable pharmaceutical companies in identifying individuals who might benefit from their drugs for these conditions. ArtiMed has recently expanded its portfolio to broaden its scope to include risk stratification for other post-Covid issues such as major cardiovascular conditions, including myocardial infarction or stroke, associated with a previous Covid infection.
• C the Signs is focused on giving every patient their best chance at surviving cancer by detecting cancer at the earliest, most curable stage. In under 30 seconds, C the Signs has the ability to rapidly identify which cancers a patient is at risk, and recommend the most appropriate test or specialist to diagnose their cancer.
• DeepMetrics operates as an AI-driven ICU automation platform company. The company has developed an AI model for automatically adjusting ventilator settings, which has been tested on approximately 2,000 ICU patients over roughly 4,000 ICU days. Their AI demonstrates the capability to control ventilators at the level of intensivist, offering verifiable guarantee of optimality. Currently, they are in the process of submitting their findings to a top journal and pursuing a U.S. patent. DeepMetrics is actively working toward securing a 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration while simultaneously raising $5 million in seed/pre-series A funding.
• Genomate Health Inc. develops AI-powered computational tools for personalized medicine. Its main focus is assisting physicians in making optimal personalized treatment decisions for each patient based on the complex molecular characteristics of human diseases. Its flagship product, Genomate MTC (molecular treatment calculator), is the first computational AI solution clinically proven to improve personalized n-of-1 treatment decisions in precision oncology.
• ISHI Health specializes in heart failure care with its innovative virtual care solutions. Its expertise in heart failure, state-of-the-art cardiac sensor technology and disease profiling enable ISHI Health to offer scalable virtual care. Collaborating closely with physicians, they craft personalized treatment plans, encompassing medication adjustments, continuous monitoring and easing the care burden. ISHI Health provides patients with contextual feedback, enhancing their journey and ensuring lasting engagement.
• LUMINARE’s mission is to make healthcare more efficient using its expertise in healthcare and technology to eliminate sepsis deaths. LUMINARE’s software has been shown to accelerate identification of infections and speed up implementation of sepsis protocols in care settings. The ensuing fast treatment decreases ICU admissions, ICU lengths of stay and ventilator utilization, and improves sepsis survival. LUMINARE is adding deep-learning AI through this collaboration to allow hospitals to confirm sepsis faster and thereby treat faster using innovative workflow software to eliminate alert-fatigue that has plagued AI-based alarms.
• PulseAI is a medical technology company that builds AI-enabled software products designed to improve the accuracy, efficiency and scalability of cardiac diagnostics. Through its proprietary database of more than 1 million patients, PulseAI has created a cloud-based digital platform allowing for easy device integration and scalable deployment of deep learning AI-ECG algorithms.
