Seed · Cincinnati, Ohio · founded 2013 · 8 employees$4.6Mraised▾
Sense Diagnostics is a medical device company that develops a non-invasive, disposable device that continuously monitors brain activity primarily in the intensive care unit. Sense Diagnostics uses very low power radio waves to non-invasively detect changes in the amount and location of blood in the brain. The low power RF can detect acute hemorrhage, brain swelling, or seizure. The device consists of three parts: (1) an antenna array, (2) the driving electronics for the array, and (3) a spectrum analyzer coupled with a computer that analyzes the EM signals and detects changes in brain status. It alerts doctors of the growing problems in the brain much sooner than other procedures available.
