❤️‍🩹 Not Slowing Down: Tech That Keeps You Ahead of Your Health

Eyes on Pressure

Glaucoma surgery may be due for a major update. Ciliatech’s Intercil implant, newly CE-marked, avoids the eye's anterior chamber entirely. That means fewer complications, quicker recovery, and the potential to treat both open- and narrow-angle glaucoma more effectively. It's a next-gen option for the 80 million people globally at risk of irreversible blindness.

Universal Flu Defense, Built for the Long Haul

Osivax is working on a universal flu vaccine. By targeting a conserved protein in the flu virus, their OVX836 candidate may offer broader, longer-lasting protection across multiple strains. Backed by years of clinical data and now development funding, this vaccine could reshape how we prepare for seasonal and pandemic influenza, potentially merging protection for flu and COVID into one future-proof shot.

Cold Chain, Cracked

Refrigeration isn’t just a supply chain hassle; it’s a healthcare barrier. EnsiliTech has developed a silica-based technology that keeps vaccines and biologics stable at up to 50°C, removing the need for cold storage. That means fewer spoiled meds, lower transport costs, and better access in areas where refrigeration isn't reliable.

Diagnostics To-Go

PCR tests are reliable, but they're usually locked behind lab doors. Detechgene is breaking that barrier with a portable molecular diagnostics platform that delivers lab-grade results in under 30 minutes. Their “PCR to Go” device could be a game-changer in rural clinics, care homes, or even developing countries where lab access is scarce. It makes early detection faster and puts diagnostic power closer to the point of care.

Surgery, Streamlined

Rhovica Neuroimaging is innovating surgical precision. Their SoNav system enables accurate catheter placement in emergency neurosurgery using real-time navigation - no OR required. That could dramatically improve outcomes for patients with critical brain swelling, where speed and accuracy are often at odds.

Tackling Colon Cancer Tumors

TREOS Bio is targeting one of cancer’s most frustrating problems: the resistance of certain tumors to immunotherapy. Their PolyPEPI1018 treatment turns immunologically "cold" colorectal tumors into "hot" ones, potentially unlocking immune responses where current therapies fall flat. Now entering a pivotal Phase II trial, this off-the-shelf therapy could rewrite treatment pathways for a large swath of patients.

Organs on Time

OrganOx has revolutionized liver transplantation with a perfusion device that keeps donor livers viable for up to 24 hours outside the body. This extra time increases transplant success rates and widens access to organs, especially for older patients or those far from transplant centers. Now acquired by Terumo, the tech is poised for global expansion.
