Aiosyn
Aiosyn is developing a diagnostics platform that uses artificial intelligence to support pathologists with more accurate and efficient clinical diagnostics. A new investment round of EUR 2 million, led by Health Innovations together with Oost NL and LUMO Labs, enables Aiosyn to further develop their platform and accelerate the time to market. The field of pathology is challenged by a growing workload and a shortage of pathologists. Aiosyn develops algorithms that work in close synergy with pathologists to improve the digital pathology workflow and clinical diagnostic tasks.
Bilihome
Bilihome aims to support jaundiced newborns and their parents, naturally. The wearable solution allows optimal blue light therapy and helps babies to recover in the right environment. Newborn babies with jaundice are now often placed in a special incubator shortly after birth to undergo blue light therapy. Thanks to Bilihome's innovation, this is no longer necessary.
STIL
STIL is developing a medical device for people affected by tremor disorders. Tremors are involuntary shakes in the arms, commonly seen in Parkinson’s Disease and Essential Tremor. Current treatment options with medication have limited effect and often lead to unpleasant side-effects. STIL’s anti-tremor brace reduces involuntary shakes in the arm, which allows these people to perform daily activities again, such as eating and drinking. The investment will be used for clinical research, product development and market introduction.
Elanza
Elanza creates a platform where independent healthcare professionals find work at healthcare organizations in their neighborhood. Elanza supports the organizations by automating back office processes such as planning and invoicing. Independent healthcare professionals benefit from a flawless job search process. By collecting feedback of every shift, Elanza provides insights into the quality of care.
Synappz
Synappz Mobile Health’s is the developer of the Clinicards platform. With this platform, healthcare providers can use digital ‘cards’ for easy monitoring of patients’ clinical variables in a home setting, to inform patients and put together care plans. The patient receives a customised app with which they receive coaching. Clinicards has been developed together with healthcare professionals and is now being used by a number of Dutch hospitals in areas such as neonatology, pregnancy, pulmonary embolism, rehabilitation and post-operative surgery. The investment will be used for the continued development of the platform and for strengthening sales.
MRIguidance
The product developed by MRIguidance, BoneMRI, is a software solution that enables unprecedented 3D visualisation of the bone anatomy with conventional MRI scanners. Until today MRI scanners were mainly used to assess soft tissues. BoneMRI allows for a one-stop-shop in medical imaging; one exam to visualize all human tissues and without making use of harmful radiation.
Stokhos
Stokhos designs and builds software delivering real-time advice that optimises emergency vehicle coverage and reduces response times. This innovative software, called "Seconds", was developed in tandem with an emergency region in the Netherlands. This region achieved better response times using Seconds. This investment is utilised to further improve the product and facilitate (inter)national roll out.
Aidence
Aidence improves healthcare using computer-aided diagnostics, with an initial application for lung cancer detection. Aidence’s software provides faster, cheaper and more accurate diagnoses of X-ray, MRI and CT images. The core technology is deep learning, a revolutionary type of artificial intelligence that allows image recognition at a human level.
ANW Nederland
ANW Nederland organises medical accessibility services for long-term care. ANW Nederland provides an affordable and reliable service to healthcare institutions using triage, scheduling and good ICT support. As a result, the expertise of the specialised physicians is available where it is most useful, namely during the day with clients in the healthcare institution.
ViCentra
ViCentra developed a small insulin pump that offers the diabetic patient as much freedom of movement as possible and that can accurately manage his/her glucose level. By cleverly developing the pump with new technologies, ViCentra can keep costs low and thus make the pump available to a large group.
Livassured
Livassured has developed the NightWatch in collaboration with institutions for epilepsy care. This is a monitoring device for epilepsy patients to indicate nightly attacks with more certainty. The device uses motion and heart rate sensors and can provide an early indication of an epileptic attack based on a tested algorithm.
PulseCath
Pulsecath develops and sells an external heart pump. It is inserted pre-op and can remain in place for a few days after surgery. The Pulsecath is used during cardiac surgery and offers major advantages over existing heart pumps.
Cloud9 Software
Cloud9 Software delivers software (research manager) to healthcare organisations and commercial research institutions that support clinical research. Cloud9 Software also has a solution for registering, collecting, validating and reporting data on the quality of care within hospitals.
Prolira
Prolira develops a medical device to detect delirium with a three-point EEG measurement. The company is a spin-off of the University Medical Centre Utrecht. Delirium is common in hospital patients, with often severe consequences.
Gannet
Gannet makes an innovative surgical implant designed for setting femoral neck fractures (medial column fractures). What makes this implant unique is the rotational stability combined with a low implant volume. The implant allows the patient to walk again quite quickly. Using the Gannet helps to reduce the number of complications and reoperations, which is good for the patient and reduces healthcare costs.
swyMed
SwyMed facilitates remote working in healthcare with video links coupled to diagnostic equipment, hospital information systems and media storage, such as x-rays. This also works when mobile and under all circumstances, e.g. for sharing video and measurement data from an ambulance with a specialist in a hospital. The swyMed platform supports telephones, computers and tablets.
