CTOs on the Move


 
In 2015, five seminal randomized controlled trials were published in the neurovascular space demonstrating endovascular thrombectomy to be the new gold standard for treating large vessel occlusion strokes. During that same year, advancements in artificial intelligence and deep learning made it possible to analyze medical imaging rapidly and accurately. However, despite having proven effective interventions for stroke, most stroke patients were getting treatment late or not at all. At Stanford University, Dr. Chris Mansi (neurosurgeon) and Dr. David Golan (machine learning researcher) identified this problem and together they sought to change it.

Elucid

Elucid is a Boston-based medical technology company using uniquely interpretable and validated AI to provide physicians with a cost-effective means to optimize treatment decisions for patients with cardiovascular disease. Advanced clinical insight from Elucid equips physicians with critical information designed to enable precision medicine. Elucid is the first FDA-Cleared and CE-marked non-invasive software to quantify atherosclerotic plaque characteristics compared to histopathology, including Lipid Rich Necrotic Core. The company has published studies for its derivation of fractional flow reserve (FFRct) based on the vasodilative capacity of the vessel wall and estimation of coding and non-coding RNA transcripts (“Virtual Transcriptomics”). This unique information informs improved treatment decisions by physicians leading to better patient outcomes, improved quality of care, and reduced healthcare costs. The Elucid software is available for commercial use in the U.S. and Europe

MY01

MY01 is a state-of-the-art medical device geared towards aiding in the detection of Compartment Syndrome (CS); a limb-threatening muscle condition that occurs within 48 hours following trauma. Currently, ACS is diagnosed based on subjective and unreliable outcomes like pain (known as 6 P`s), which when present cannot confirm the diagnosis in time for effective intervention. This leads to increased complications (muscle necrosis/amputation) and costs the US healthcare system more than $2.25 B annually. MY01 is capitalizing on a proven correlation between sustained increase in Intramuscular pressures and ACS for objective, early diagnosis. MY01 operationalizes muscular pressure monitoring into a simple, accurate single-use device. MY01. The simple solution to a dangerous problem.
