Cerebral Aneurysm Test (CAT-7)
Affecting an estimated 6.7 million people in the U.S., a cerebral aneurysm (CA) can cause neurological problems and can rupture, leading to life-altering or fatal brain bleeds. Diagnosis can be a long process, current tools are invasive, expensive and potentially toxic, and ruptures often occur before diagnosis or treatment. Cerebral Aneurysm Test (CAT-7) is the first simple, whole blood-based diagnostic test to detect the formation of a CA. It is noninvasive, less expensive, more accurate, safer and able to be used earlier in the care process.

CerebroSense
During open-brain surgeries, the brain’s health is monitored by perhaps the world’s first medical device, the finger. The surgeon or anesthesiologist physically touches the exposed brain to feel for changes in size that indicate swelling, decreased blood flow, or other issues requiring action. CerebroSense uses ultrasonic sensing technology to provide safe, non-contact, real-time measurements that can help reduce complications during and after surgery.

ChemoPatch
The ChemoPatch is a low-cost, electronic patch-based system that facilitates home-based chemotherapy which has not been extensively implemented because of the need for reformulated drugs and the inability to deliver complex treatment regimens. The ChemoPatch solves this problem through the automated delivery of soluble medication and will allow high-quality home-based cancer care to become a reality.
