ValenTx was founded with the goal of treating some of the most pervasive health problems of our time: obesity and obesity-related metabolic disorders such as type-2 diabetes and hypertension. Our approach is to create a non-surgical, endoluminal bypass device that builds on the success of established medical interventions, resulting in a highly effective and least-invasive therapy. Current treatments for these diseases include surgery, pharmacology, and medically supervised lifestyle management. The risks, costs, and in some cases poor efficacy of these treatments have hampered their broad adoption by patients, physicians, and payers alike. A truly unmet clinical need exists for a therapy that can deliver the efficacy obtained through surgery, but without the risks and costs associated with surgical intervention. The ValenTx endoluminal bypass therapy mimics the attributes of a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and is implanted through a non-surgical, endoscopic procedure. This procedure does not require gastric stapling or permanent changes to the patient`s anatomy. The device is removable, replaceable and designed so that the physician could change the therapeutic profile, thereby optimizing the treatment towards the individual patient`s needs. ValenTx has developed a strong intellectual property portfolio, which lies at the foundation of this therapy. The company has successfully conducted a series of clinical studies demonstrating the viability, safety, and efficacy of the therapy.

eSight empowers the low vision community and advocates to #SeeNewPossibilities for people with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and 50+ other conditions that cause vision loss. Founded by electrical engineer, Conrad Lewis, who wanted to help his two legally blind sisters see, eSight has since grown to become the leading sight enhancement platform led by an executive team with the vision to do more. After seven years of research and development, the first eSight Eyewear prototype was released in 2013. Since then, the vision-enhancing electronic technology has changed the lives of thousands of people living with visual impairments and legal blindness by allowing them to retain their independence and achieve greater visual acuity at home, school, work, and play. Soon after the release of eSight 3, Time Magazine named eSight in its list of “The 25 Best Inventions in 2017” and Buzzfeed featured the device on its roster of “6 Inventions Changing British People`s Lives In 2017”. Following eSight 3, the team continued to develop its technology and, in 2020, launched its latest model — eSight 4. It was thoughtfully crafted to be wireless and hands-free allowing users to retain their mobility as well as be lightweight and streamlined for all-day comfort. The eSight 4 was later recognized as the “Best Wearable/Healthcare Hardware/Software of 2021” by the Tech Ascension Awards, which honors companies that possess the most innovative technology in their respective industry.
