biel glasses

Our company started with Biel, a child born with low vision (LV). LV is a condition in which vision is permanently limited and cannot be corrected by standard glasses, contact lenses, medicine or conventional surgery. There are 217 million people worldwide with LV. Mobility problems are its most disabling effect, causing falls, injuries, dependence and social isolation. We are a team of businesspeople, doctors, technologists and optometrists creating intelligent glasses that adapt reality to the remaining vision of people with LV, improving their mobility and personal autonomy. Our device uses AI and robotics to detect and evaluate obstacles, traffic lights, steps and other elements relevant to patient mobility, and mixed reality to indicate those elements so that patients can perceive them with their remaining vision. The device includes image zoom, lighting adaption and other convenient image enhancements to create a complete solution for the LV.

healium medical

Healium's mission is to advance therapy of atrial fibrillation therapy, the most common cardiac arrhythmia and a leading cause of ischemic stroke.
The company develops ultrasound ablation technology that allows rapid, no-contact therapy, integrated with real-time lesion monitoring in a single catheter. This stands in sharp contrast to existing solutions that require tissue contact and provide no lesion imaging leading to poor 60% clinical outcome.
The company has raised $3.25M to date, has compelling results from animal studies with strong support from key opinion leaders in the field.
Our solution is based on proprietary ultrasound technology that allows contactless circumferential lesion with real-time lesion imaging with a single catheter. Eliminating the need for tissue contact significantly simplifies the procedure and eliminates the need for extensive experience associated with catheter steering and manipulation. Providing real-time lesion detection capabilities will eliminate the current guess work associated with lesion formation as tissue thickness and properties are visualized and automatically drive energy level used to effectively ablate the tissue.

waveimplant

Oral implants are now widely used in the clinic. However, there remains risks of failure (currently around 15%), which are highly detrimental for both patients (aesthetic issues, nutrition troubles, loss of confidence, etc.) and surgeons (in terms of cost, reputation and law suits). WaveImplant is developing ImplantUS, an innovative and patented ultrasound medical device aiming at measuring dental implant stability. ImplantUS will help practitioners optimize their surgical procedures in dental implantology and will reduce the dental implant failure rate as early as 2023. 

WaveImplant was created in May 2019 by Guillaume Haïat (VP Scientific Affairs) and Pascal Breton (CEO). Guillaume Haïat, inventor of the technology, has twenty years of experience in academic and industrial research. Pascal Breton is a "serial entrepreneur" with an international career of thirty years in the Health and Life Sciences industry. The management team was completed in late 2020 with the arrival of Thierry Toubiana, deputy general manager, who has 9 years of experience as general manager France of BioHorizon, 5th implant manufacturer worldwide. 

The technology of ImplantUS is based on quantitative ultrasound. It has been validated in vitro, in silico and in vivo (rabbits and sheep). We are now working on the clinical trials. This approach constitutes a technological breakthrough and presents strong competitive advantages as it allows a more precise and reliable measurement of implant stability than any other technology currently available on the market. The technology is protected by two families of patents and patent applications (2009 and 2018).
​
The commercialization of ImplantUS will begin 2023. It will be marketed directly by WaveImplant in France, and under license agreements with one or more heavyweights of the sector abroad. WaveImplant will retain control of ImplantUS production and know-how through its subcontractors.
