EnMed MicroAnalytics (Charleston, SC) has a proprietary method for detecting very low concentrations of lead and other heavy metals collected from a single finger-or-heel stick. According to the CDC, almost all U.S. children are at risk for lead poisoning. Screening for lead and and other heavy metals is important because even small amounts can cause irreversible damage to a child’s brain resulting in neurological and behavioral problems, as well as damage to the heart, kidneys, lung, and bone. This technology will enable routine (and ideally universal) screening of every pregnant woman and newborn, and selected pediatric patients for exposure to lead and other heavy metals.

nQ Medical (Boston, MA) is a digital diagnostic for neurological disorders. It captures functional decline and allows for precise monitoring of small changes in neurodegeneration. Using AI, nQ evaluates passive data captured 24/7 to detect pathological signs of disease. It diagnoses disease earlier than current tools, tracks disease progression, and measures impact of therapy. Used in Pharma clinical trials to gain efficiencies, it has been clinically validated as a diagnostic tool for Parkinson’s and is engaged in clinical trials for Alzheimer’s with Cleveland Clinic.[hr]
