Impulse Dynamics is a medical device company dedicated to offering innovative solutions for treatment of Chronic Heart Failure (CHF), based on its proprietary technology for administrating Cardiac Contractility Modulation (CCM) therapy. CCM has been shown in clinical trials to produce an immediate and powerful effect, resulting in a significant increase in cardiac performance, thereby improving exercise tolerance. Trials have also indicated its safety and its role in significantly improving quality of life. Impulse Dynamics’ Optimizer IVs is CE marked and has been successfully launched in Europe and other international markets. The device has been implanted in around 3,000 patients to date, with some receiving the therapy for over 10 years. The Optimizer IVs is currently undergoing the final stages of clinical evaluation to support FDA approval.
Cara developed a dedicated Cath Lab data informatics recording, analysis and storage system. Capable of acquiring and recording data from multiple digital inputs (Fluoro, Hemodynamics, Echocardiogram, ECG etc.) in the Cath Lab and OR, Cara develops SAAS applications for use in interventional procedures. These applications enable the operator to review recorded information during and after the procedure and also enable image enhancement of recorded information in real time. Cara can store procedure information for further analysis and use. The company’s current applications focus on conduction disturbances and risk stratification as well as commissure alignment during TAVR.
Alta is a simple-to-use, low-cost, seamless to install solution that allows on-demand remote collaboration between doctors, industry experts, allied health professionals and their patients. The Alta platform can connect to up to 8 digital data sources (including all imaging, monitors & mapping systems) and is designed for live clinical communication, collaboration, remote control, smart content generation and enables secure 24/7 access to Cath-labs and Operation Rooms.
Molecular Dynamics develops innovative imaging technologies and advanced clinical applications. The company’s whole-body functional imaging system, based on CZT technology, simultaneously improves image quality, scan time and patient dose. The scanner delivers better-than-PET quality images, with an attractive wide-band, multi-function imaging ability not possible with current PET scanners. The company aims to enable improved diagnosis, treatment-optimization and monitoring, resulting in more cost-effective treatments and better clinical outcomes.
Renal Dynamics (ReDy) is dedicated to treating hypertension with a single intervention, using its third-generation renal denervation system. ReDy’s proprietary solution uses the SmartRF algorithm to optimize bipolar and unipolar energy delivery and to confirm lesion formation. The system uses an advanced product design, intended to improve usability by the operator, shorten procedure time and improve patient comfort. The ReDy system has obtained CE mark and is currently being validated in clinical trials.
OncoD is an early-stage company seeking to improve the treatment of cancer by simplifying image-guided solid-tumor ablation procedures. OncoD is currently developing a set of interventional radiology imaging tools which aim to improve clinical outcomes and shorten procedure time through hyper-reality visualization, real-time accurate monitoring of treatment effects and patient-specific pre-planning and procedure guidance. These will provide high-definition mapping and navigation capabilities outside of the imaging suite and without radiating computed tomography (CT) or expensive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices. The optimized graphic user interface will lower the dependency on physician experience and shorten learning curves, making the procedure and its clinical benefits widely available for cancer patients globally.
Lavita Technologies is an early-stage neuromodulation company, focused on development of the proprietary Nexion™ system for treatment of autoimmune inflammatory diseases caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system. This breakthrough technology has a wide range of applications, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and metabolic disorders. The Nexion™ system utilizes a catheter-based percutaneous approach to deliver targeted and localized energy to modulate and reset nerve activities specific to the inflammation.
EPD Solutions, now a Philips Company, developed the KODEX – EPD™ cardiac mapping and navigation system which utilizes electromagnetic technology to create real-time three-dimensional, high definition (3D-HD) images of a patient’s cardiac structures. Due to its design, the KODEX – EPD™ cardiac mapping and navigation system enables the operator to use their preferred mapping and ablation catheters, rather than sensor based catheters.
