Sibel Health

Northwestern University

[Update (7.2023) SBIR/STTR funding total: $1.3M] Sibel Health revolutionizes patient care with their bio-integrated, wearable sensors such as the ANNE® Chest Sensor, ANNE® Limb Sensor, and ADAM Sensor. These devices offer clinical-grade monitoring and transmit real-time data for comprehensive clinical care. They measure parameters such as heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, activity, SpO2 pulse rate, and perfusion index. The wearables are lightweight, flexible, and invisible to wear, making healthcare monitoring both comfortable and efficient. They offer dedicated solutions for adult, maternal, and neonatal monitoring, and specific medical conditions, transforming patient data management.

Cycladex

(Update: Sept. 2021 - Cycladex has completed construction of a production facility in the US that will use the company's novel gold recovery technology. The company uses a novel, patented chemical process to recover precious metals by cutting leach time from 30 hours to 6 hours on average. The development of the technology was supported by the National Science Foundation SBIR program and from investors in the UK.) Gold mining has been a historically low innovation industry. The industry standard is to use a cyanide process to isolate gold, which is expensive and potentially dangerous. Cycladex has created a method to isolate gold in an inexpensive, environmentally-friendly way.

Synaural

Northwestern University

The Synaural platform uses engineered acoustic probes to elicit specific neural activity within the brain. A robust, easy to use, non-invasive headset records the neural activity and patented algorithms extract unique metrics that provide objective insight to the subject’s neural health and can be used to guide treatment in a meaningful, measured way. To date, the metrics have demonstrated enough specificity to be correlated with various conditions e.g. concussion, learning disabilities (e.g. Autism, reading, dyslexia), and hearing.
