Heading 1

By providing real-time monitoring of seniors who live alone and are self-isolating, and those in care homes that are most at risk, beds and lives may be saved.  With real-time 24/7 remote vital signs monitoring with alarms, the risk to these patients can be minimized in the very near term, at a low cost, saving lives and creating peace of mind for patients and their care providers. SafetyPatch delivers these benefits.

​

In a hospital setting, getting patients back home to convalesce, there are significant benefits:

1. Additional infections are unlikely
2. Scarce resources are better utilized
3. Patients are at lower risk
4. Patients are happier

Globally, a baby is born 'still' every 16 seconds. In high-income countries such as Canada and the U.S, up to 30% of stillbirths can be prevented. Flutter Care is promoting safe and informed perinatal experiences by developing a non-invasive wearable device to detect early signs of fetal distress. This technology will allow families to continuously monitor their baby's health from home and reduce the amount of time to receive medical attention. Flutter Care's 'kick counting' mobile application has been used by thousands of families across over 140 countries.

At Gene2Lead, they incorporate AI-based computational pipelines to existing medicinal chemistry-based drug discovery programs. They are developing an AI-integrated platform technology that unmasks difficult drug targets and generates therapeutics against them, revealing high-value and previously inaccessible biomolecule targets that can potentially be applied to a range of diseases.

​

Their platform offers drug discovery programs with comprehensive structural insights for identifying druggable binding sites protein protein-analyzing ligand binding modes and computationally generating rational drug design ideas in a robust scale-up and expedited fashion. They receive client projects at the level of a target gene of interest and work it through a semi-automated customized high throughput project pipeline to identify novelty lead drug molecules for experimental testing.

Intubation is the third most common medical procedure performed globally. Every year, over 20 million intubations are performed in North America. The process of inserting the tube into a patient’s trachea requires a high degree of skill and precision for quick insertion in a highly stressful environment, as the patients can’t breathe when it is being performed. If done improperly, complications can include hypoxia, brain damage, cardiac arrest and even death. Indeed, 45% of patients undergoing intubation experience at least one major peri-intubation adverse event. Over 73% of physicians in Canada experience burnout. Hada has a unique solution.

​

Their proprietary technology helps extend the safety window to allow doctors to have more time to intubate, improving intubation safety and efficiency, preventing potential injuries, aiming to reduce job stress

Neuro Spinal Innovation (NSI) is a medical device manufacturing company that develops and services med-tech devices that treat chronic pain. NSI is a Canadian registered corporation operating out of Mississauga, Ontario. Currently, NSI is developing the SONIK Monark 100 (SM-100) medical device that uses focused vibroacoustic therapy, a non-invasive and evidence-based clinical methodology, to treat back pain. The SM-100 has received Health Canada approval and is in the prototype testing phase. NSI is built upon the 20-years of key learnings from the “parent company”, KKT International which commercialized the predicate device, the KKT M2, in markets around the world. NSI owns exclusive rights to all IP and trade secrets for both KKT and NSI, and plans to commercialize the technology in the North American market/healthcare system.

NovaSonix Healthcare Inc. strives to develop cutting-edge ultrasound technology to improve clinical practice for the prevention, detection, and monitoring of musculoskeletal disease. Our system, NovaVue, is compatible with any commercially available ultrasound machine, and collects 3D and dynamic ultrasound images of any joint, providing clinicians with a comprehensive, inexpensive, and non-invasive tool that fits seamlessly into current workflows to diagnose and monitor musculoskeletal pathologies such as osteoarthritis.

ORCHID Analytics is a health-tech company providing AI-driven predictive analytics to solve healthcare’s biggest management challenges.
Our algorithms are the innovative engine of our platforms, whether using them separately or in combination, they are designed and tested in different settings and take into account all the users’ workflows.

As a member of CAN Health Network, ORCHID is currently working with a downtown Toronto hospital, to pilot a solution addressing surgical backlog and staffing challenges.
ORCHID Analytics’ surgical scheduling optimization platform addresses scheduling challenges within surgery, focusing on the entire surgical patient journey in the hospital, from preop to postop to inpatient unit, allowing the healthcare organizations to test different strategies to be able to make more informed decisions. For example, it can show how opening up operating rooms over the weekend reduces the waitlist and also the resources (ie. beds, nursing) that will be required.

ParaSight will provide both a low-cost pathology microscope and rapid diagnoses to users of the device through a cloud-based diagnosis-as-a-service system. The microscope, currently in the pre-production prototype phase, uses proprietary embedded image processing technology to enhance resolution, enabling an inexpensive optical system to capture images at the necessary 1-μm resolution to see malaria parasites, a feat previously impossible. The microscope will be available at a fixed price and users will have the option of paying a small fee per study to send images to the cloud for diagnosis. Initially, this will be accomplished by forwarding the study to pathologists in larger cities in Africa, providing them an additional revenue source. A machine learning-based tool that is in early stages of development will be trained using this data; it will enable markedly faster, often automatic diagnosis and further reduce costs for the end user.

There are over 1 million hospitalizations for heart failure per year in North America, most of which are driven by fluid overload. The gold standard therapy for patients admitted with congestive heart failure is IV diuretics. However, the process of treating patients with IV diuretics is challenging, with 1 in 4 patients having their diuretics stopped prematurely and 1 in 3 patients being discharged with residual congestion – factors that lead to increased lengths of hospital stays, and higher readmission rates. Much of this challenge is due to the lack of adequate hemodynamic monitoring of congestion in patients admitted to hospital with heart failure, particularly on general medical or cardiology wards where invasive hemodynamic monitoring is not permitted. 

​

Venamic is an early-stage medical device company developing a novel non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring system for patients admitted to hospital with acute heart failure, particularly in non-critical care settings.

Helixir Medical is developing MR software using patented techniques to track and visualize device and tissue in 3D and real-time to improve health outcomes and reduce procedure times. Our technology is vendor agnostic, such that it will work with any combination of MRI and MR-compatible device. The beachhead market we are targeting is ventricular tachycardia as that is our group's expertise and the market is not as saturated compared to other markets. After they prove the efficacy of our software, they will branch out to other indications, like atrial fibrillation, intracardiac tissue drug delivery, and cancer biopsy/target treatments.
