Early Detection
Our screening test identifies a marker that is present not only in tumors, but precancerous tissue as well, which enables us to identify patients at the earliest stages, and even before the cancer has formed. Early-stage tumors can be small and so our advantage over imaging tests such as mammograms, and CTs etc., is that we do not need tumors to be a certain size. This is much more than a concept, as over 20 clinical trials have been published with over 10,000 patients. The accuracy has been outstanding, with typical sensitivity and specificity rates of 80 to 95%. The screen is safe, inexpensive, easy to conduct in an office with no equipment needed and only takes 15 minutes. Physicians and their patients will have the results before a patient leaves the office. We anticipate that this simple, easy to conduct screen will become a standard component of annual physical exams. Cancer with 600,000 US deaths is 2nd only to heart disease with 650,000 deaths. The test can screen for lung, breast, colon, prostate and uterine cancer, which accounts for approx. 1/2 of all cancer mortality.

Monatomics Technology
Monatomics Technology has developed a novel gas mixture (consisting of xenon, helium, oxygen) administered by a unique recycling respiratory system to reduce neurotoxicity and thereby the risk of disability in acute ischemic stroke patients. The xenon acts as a neuroprotective agent by inhibiting the NMDA glutamate receptors and blocking the cascade of excitotoxicity generated by cerebral hypoxia during a stroke. Xenon is a hyperthermic gas and since the patient must be kept conscious during the 8 hours of treatment, the mixture cannot contain more than 30%. Helium is hypothermic and cancels out the hyperthermic effect of Xenon so the mixture is thermally neutral. Helium is also a lighter gas, which allows for easier inhalation by the patient. In order to make the solution commercially viable, the respiratory system uniquely recycles the xenon gas - which is expensive. A robust IP portfolio protects the innovation behind the neuroprotective gas and noble gas recycling respiratory system.

Alio (fka GraftWorx)
Alio (San Francisco, CA) is an early commercial stage company who believes it is time we tap into the opportunity to revolutionize today’s tools for remote patient monitoring. The technologies in the current market are invasive, expensive, often provide inadequate data and do not deliver a positive user experience. Re-imagining what care looks like for those facing dialysis and heart failure has been done before, but the execution has failed. We understand chronic conditions do not merely require episodic care, but rather reliable and clinically accurate remote patient monitoring seamlessly integrating itself into a patient’s day to day life.
