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 ...

BioSig

BioSig Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BSGM) is a medical device company that is developing a proprietary biomedical signal processing technology platform to address an unmet technology need in the rapidly growing $4.6+ billion electrophysiology (EP) marketplace. Led by a proven management team, world-class Board of Directors and Scientific Advisory Board, Los Angeles-based BioSig Technologies is preparing to commercialize its PURE EP™ System. The PURE EP™System is a surface electrocardiogram (ECG) and intracardiac multichannel recording and analysis system designed to assist electrophysiologists in making crucial clinical decisions in real-time by acquiring and displaying high-fidelity cardiac signal recordings even at undetectable levels (until now) with high accuracy to help identify appropriate catheter ablation targets - areas of tissue to destroy that create a heart rhythm disturbance (arrhythmia). BioSig aims to deliver technology to improve upon catheter ablation treatments for the prevalent and potentially deadly arrhythmias, Atrial Fibrillation and Ventricular Tachycardia. PURE EP™ System is an innovative platform, offering potential benefits over current technologies including increased accuracy, reduced noise and interference, clinical information previously not available and potential elimination of the need for repeat procedures. BioSig has partnered with Minnetronix on technology development and has received FDA 510(k) clearance for the PURE EP™ System in August 2018. BioSig Technologies, Inc. is a Nasdaq company: NASDAQ:BSGM.

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.

InfraScan

InfraScan, Inc. is a medical device company that focuses on developing, commercializing, and distributing hand-held diagnostic devices for head injury and stroke assessment based on near infrared (NIR) technology. The Infrascanner enables clinicians to detect effectively, conveniently, and accurately intracranial bleeding in patients with head trauma. Intracranial hematomas are an important treatable cause of secondary brain injury in patients with head trauma. Recent statistics from Iraq shows that 30% of all wounded in action have head injuries; of them 40% have brain hematomas. Dr. Britton Chance (University of Pennsylvania) and Dr. Claudia Robertson (Baylor College of Medicine) invented a NIR system for detection of brain Hematomas and tested it successfully in 305 patients in Baylor. An entrepreneurial team formed a company around this technology in Collaboration with Drexel University and won the Wharton Business Plan competition in April 2004 and the second prize at the global business plan competition in Singapore in October 2004. Office of Naval Research funded the company in May 2004. The company also attracted $1.5M in funding from BioAdvance, the Biotechnology Greenhouse of Southeastern Pennsylvania, from Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania, and from Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation. A multicenter clinical study to support an FDA submission started in July 2006, and on February 2008 an application was submitted to the FDA. After 4 years of review, the FDA cleared Infrascanner Model 1000 as a DeNovo medical technology in December 2011. In January 2013 the FDA cleared the 510(k) of Infrascanner Model 2000.
