Valerie Kau's Company Details

Entac Medical is developing medical devices for predictive and diagnostic medicine based on a novel platform technology, audio spectral analysis. Its first application, PrevisEA, is a late stage, Class II noninvasive, disposable device that is clinically proven to predict post-operative ileus (POI) in surgical patients (GI paralysis occurs 2-6 days after surgery in 25% of patients). Prediction of ileus risk improves treatment protocols and patient outcomes while reducing readmissions and saving hospitals millions of dollars in unnecessary treatment costs. - Applied to the abdomen with existing medical adhesive tape - Enclosed microphone detects certain sounds emitted from the bowels- Microchip containing signal-processing algorithms analyzes sounds- LED display indicates the level of risk that the patient will develop POI- Worn up to 12 hours for maximum accuracy
