| | MARCH 20219UTLOOKHealthcare Tech set up by SOSV in New York within weeks of the outbreak. Teams within this program will also have full access to HAX to accelerate any hardware they may have.At HAX, we are actively looking for digital health technology that can assist in remote care. At the top of our list is:· Lung disease· Adult-onset diabetes· Cardiovascular disease· Physiotherapy· Depression· Kidney and bladder problems· Stroke rehabilitationThese are areas that technology can play a role in assisting or monitoring at-risk patients. It's not just for the elderly; some of this technology can help over-stretched hospital staff to keep tabs on critically ill people and make decisions that could save lives. We already have some fantastic companies working in the space with COVID-19 responses or technology that can help. We are actively investing additional money into these companies to push them through expedited FDA market authorization. Some highlights for us: Strados Labs is working on a Remote E-Stethoscope Platform (RESP), used to record patient lung sounds that can be made available for playback or transmitted to telehealth workers and monitored for changes in status. This remote wearable stethoscope can be used for spot-checking a patient's condition, thus reducing the burden on clinicians and bedside nurses. Physicians and nurses can experience noise fatigue as their hours are extended, and patient ratio increases, so having a patient's breath sounds available for playback for a fresh set of ears to further assess can help clinicians more effectively diagnose and treat patients.Axem Neurotechnology's software guides stroke survivors through their home rehabilitation program in a game-like environment that includes brain activity feedback. Healthcare providers remotely monitor progress and manage the program, and family members are connected to ensure patients feel supported as they work to regain their independence.Japet is developing Atlas, an active exoskeleton that relieves back pain and assists physical activity. Through ambulatory vertebral traction created by four micro-motors, the Atlas device provides immediate pain relief by decreasing nerve root compression.
