Health Tech Companies Changing The World

 Health Tech Companies Changing The World 

Health care is so bloated and bureaucratic industry that, at first glance, might seem immune to disruption by innovators. But a new generation of technology entrepreneurs are trying to change that. Its products range from applications and social networks for complex robots and simulators. But they all share a common goal: to harness new technologies to set an industry old. Here are 10 new technology companies today that are changing the health care and the world:

ReWalk

After an accident left Amit Goffer in a wheelchair for life, which began to develop a system that allows people with spinal cord injuries to walk again. It took more than a decade, but now the ReWalk exoskeleton is available to consumers at a price of $ 69.500. The ReWalk is basically a set of legs batteries. Strap on and then use crutches for balance as they walk users. One of the main objectives is to allow people who have joined wheelchairs to meet the world "eye to eye" again. But the system provides the actual mobility and the positive metabolic effects and increased functionality, too. In 2012, a 32-year-old, who had been paralyzed from the chest down uses a ReWalk to complete the London Marathon in 17 days. The system is available worldwide and awaiting FDA approval in the US

uMoove

UMoove software can convert any device with a camera on a front face and eye-tracking device. Some of the obvious uses of the technology include allowing user interfaces to respond to movements of the head and eyes, which allows video games to meet his gaze, and analysis of care and the level of interest . But now the company is pursuing new medical applications. Yitzi Kempinski, uMoove founder, says that a number of neurological diseases can be diagnosed based on eye movement. By taking advantage of this, uMoove could convert many mobile devices, laptops and even video game consoles in diagnostic devices. uMoove is an early participant in the growing space eye and face tracking and investors have been eager to arrive early. He recently closed on a $ 1.5 million angel round following his $ 1.5 million seed round.

Telesofia

Only half of the patients to properly understand some medication instructions, even when they are as simple as' take a pill every four hours. " That is the surprising fact that led a team of doctors and technology experts to found Telesofia, an Israeli startup that allows doctors to provide customized to patients in easy to understand video instructions. The videos, which can be entered into any device, using illustrations and everyday language to ensure that doctors orders are converted into action at home. Also filter out irrelevant information, so a 65-year-old is not diverted by warnings of medicines for lactating mothers. So far, Telesofia is working with $ 1.5 million in funding in May and had a series A, open all year.

Surgical theater

A neurosurgeon and two former officers of the Air Force R & D, founded surgical theater to bring the flight simulation technology to the operating room. ST test Surgical Platform (SRP) used magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography to make virtual 3D models from the brains of patients. Surgeons then use two joysticks that control virtual tools to practice surgical operations before they perform. The goal is the same as it is for Air Force pilots using simulators: to make known the mission before it. Since the SRP secured FDA approval in February, a number of major hospitals have been installed, including Mount Sinai, Mayo Clinic, and New York University and UCLA hospitals. Second product of the company, technology SRP applies to a navigation system of the operating room that allows peak surgeons behind the arteries and other structures using a virtual 3D model while in the middle of an operation.

TotallyPregnant

Pregnancy mobile applications have become a booming market segment applications, options such as trackers pregnancy week by week, managers of the diet, and even belly selfie functions. A new competitor, TotallyPregnant, seems to have rolled all their competitors functionality into one, while adding a powerful location-based technology and the first 3D animated videos of the fetus. The application has focused on an elegantly simple navigation wheel interface. Features include personal photo albums, informational videos, forums, expert advice, baby gear shops and a tracker weekly pregnancy. The application is free, but generates revenue with links to online stores and in-app purchases as Lamaze classes and yoga for pregnancy.
