Teravus
Jason Murray, Biomedical Engineering Student (CEAS)
Teravus is a system that utilizes AI to assist with triage acuity and waiting room management for emergency departments. Teravus' mission is to "closely monitor patients within emergency department waiting rooms, allowing health care providers to tailor interventions more efficiently."
Angel Aerial Systems
William Hasting, Will@hits-eng.com |
We are designing swarm drones that can fly in several different configurations which gives it greater mission flexibility than conventional fixed-wing, helicopter or quadcopters can offer. The airframe can hover 3-6 times longer than a quadcopter, lift as much as a helicopter drone, have the maneuverability of a quadcopter, or fly like a fixed-wing airplane. The drones can also fasten together for greater efficiency and payload carrying capability. |
Community Health Geospatial Information System
Kelvin Brown, kelvinbrown@karneyium.com
Karneyium is developing a geospatial information system (GIS) that bridges together medical and SDOH datasets. Our goal is to eliminate health disparities by providing awareness and resources to various communities. Our GIS provides solutions across clinical trials, hospital resources, and community outreach vectors. By analyzing RWE, we are producing a commercial information system capable of magnifying the visibility of underserved communities and patients. We leverage geospatially enriched data in combination with advanced data science principles to predict where patients are with certain diseases and the resources around them. We then work with companies to address these gaps in care/resources. |
Accantu.io
Acevedo Cesar, cesar.acevedo@accantu.com
Accantu.io is a market intelligence hub that helps companies speed up their market understanding powered by Data Mining and AI. We use web data mining techniques to execute automated store visits to Home Improvement/DYI Retailers for gathering data about price, brands, product features, packaging, and application claims. The information is integrated into the business intelligence dynamic reports and transformed into actionable market insights across org. In many cases, this market intelligence is the core of the pricing strategy and the company is able to re-think its marketing strategy by translating technical data into end users' product performance. |
Go-Rolla
Michelle St. John, michelle@innercirclegetin.com
Messes happen! Ask any mom, pet owner or person on the go. We are answering the need for spills in the vehicle when tissues won't absorb and biodegradable napkins disintegrate, leaving us with a bigger mess. Finally, paper towels in the car! With electronics, upgraded interiors and lives potentially at stake, you can stop lunging for the glove box and eliminate the mess. Go-Rolla can be safely positioned at least 6 places in the car and is portable for a picnic at the park. |
GiveToGet Inc. - Talent Recruiting Talent
Jonathan Mardis, jon@givetoget.us
Crowd-recruitment and talent connection marketplace enabling anyone to monetize their network by referring people for jobs at half the cost of recruiters. We are filling an enterprise grade platform with leaders and their networks to help solve the employer-talent disconnect by making talent acquisition personal. Resumes aren't personal, whereas personal intros are, supporting of vision of becoming the number one social platform for connections into employers. Statistics show referred talent gets hired faster, with better fit to culture, stay longer, and are more effective employees. |
Patient Reported Outcomes Database (PROD)
Earnest Davis, ejd@cphealth.net
An AI-enabled app that allows patients to record their medical experience at regular intervals. Free-form voice entry according to prompts, as well as deployment of community health workers to acculturate the technology with patients, enhances uptake and meets people where they are in their medical journey. The mined and trended data will allow for real-time adjustments to individual care plans and, overtime, replace the standard care plan with personalized treatment protocols. |
Primenatal
Nicole Homan, Nhoman119@gmail.com
Digital health platform to support women in improving their health for fertility and optimally healthy pregnancies through functional lab work, personalized lifestyle and nutritional recommendations and group support in healthy lifestyle changes. |
A modular holder for rigid operative instrumentation
Aaron Friedman, aaron.friedman@uc.edu
Surgical instruments must often be exchanged back and forth between the surgeon and the scrub technician (ST). This process is inefficient and potentially frustrating for the surgeon, particularly when the ST is unfamiliar with sub-specialized equipment or distracted with other tasks in the operating room (OR). We have developed a modular OR bed-mounted device to intraoperatively store rigid instrumentation. This enables the surgeon to bimanually self-serve repetitively used instruments and the ST to pre-emptively load the device rather than pass instruments individually back and forth. Variations on this theme may apply to a wide variety of surgery types. |
AI-based Qualitative Data Analysis Software
Tonkia Bridges, bridgeti@ucmail.uc.edu
Current qualitative data analysis software is highly flawed in that various software packages still rely heavily on manual, researcher interpretations of findings (e.g., MAXQDA, NVivo, Deedoose, MonkeyLearn). The most popular qualitative data analysis software in the current market space is MAXQDA; however, this application works like a glorified spreadsheet permitting the researcher to organize data content, but not providing clear interpretations of data. There is significant need to remove the researcher from making biased, personal interpretations of research findings and replace them with an algorithm-driven formula that makes interpretations based on common phrases, statements, keywords etc. Additionally, qualitative research is heavily criticized in the academy due to personal biases influencing data interpretations by the researcher (often just looking for the statements that confirm their own predetermined hypotheses). An algorithm-driven data interpretation would appease the traditional quantitative empiricists and increase qualitative data validity and trustworthiness. |
Bladder Relief Device
Ayman Mahdy, mahdyan@ucmail.uc.edu
A device that helps women who are unable to urinate to relief their bladder without the need for a catheter. |
Digital Operating Room Counter
Mohamed Kamel, kamelme@ucmail.uc.edu
A digital counter for disposables used during surgery |
