Adnavance Technologies Inc.
Even though mortality rates double each day an MRSA infection remains untreated, most hospitals have to outsource diagnostics test to off-site labs, losing precious treatment time. Adnavance Technologies hopes to change this. The company's ADNAstat amplification-free technology enalbes rapid detection of MRSA DNA on-site at any hospital.
KM Medical Ltd.
KM Medical was formed to develop a revolutionary neonatal resuscitator to meet the needs of an underserved market. KM Medical's offering is an automatic, hand-held resuscitator with transport ventilator capability designed for controlled delivery of the small volumes of air that neonates require and a display technology that verifies that delivery.
