Intrasenz – University of Utah"Intrasenz is developing an implantable micro pressure sensor for use in biomedical applications. Pressure is a clinically important variable in the treatment and management of several chronic disorders, such as glaucoma and hydrocephalus (elevated intracranial pressure), which affect millions of people. Our sensor will provide vital knowledge of internal body pressure that can be used to control drug therapy or provide early warning of a life-threatening pressure build-up, potentially saving thousands of lives each year."
Massox - Westmineter College"Massox™ is a sock manufacturer that combines therapeutic Asian well-being with classic American style. Massox is initially launching men’s designer dress socks that contain patent pending therapeutic, acupressure massagers on the inside surface of the sock. Scientific evidence suggests that acupressure therapy can help maintain and improve overall health and vitality.
Massox are made of 95% bamboo fiber. Bamboo is a revolutionary new resource that is as strong as steel, yet soft as silk. It is breathable and naturally anti-bacterial. Bamboo is extremely fast growing, and therefore highly renewable. Bamboo can also be grown commercially, without dependence on pesticides or other chemical inputs. Massox uses wisdom from the past and technology from the present to create sustainable socks of the future."
Monitus Medical – University of Utah "Monitus Medical is a startup company that develops products for the detection of perforations and leaks in the gastrointestinal tract that arise during surgery. Undetected leaks and perforations can be fatal. The frequency of perforation and leaks ranges from 0.8 to 4.3% for anterior cervical spine, colectomy and gastric bypass surgeries in the United States. The cost of one undetected leak is tremendous and can be over $1.3 million in medical treatment and litigation. Our first product, LEAP, is a proprietary medical device that quickly and accurately detects leaks and perforations to address this unmet medical need."

SensiMat – University of Utah "SensiMat is an original equipment manufacturer of solid-state Dye Sensitized Solar Cells that offers extended lifetime and lower manufacturing cost to targeted markets of recreational equipment, consumer electronics/medical devices, and building integrated photovoltaic. SensiMat’s patented technology, SensiSolar, increases the lifetime of third generation solar cells from 1-2 years to over 10 years. Our patented technology replaces the problematic liquid electrolyte with a solid-state electrolyte. SensiSolar cells are extremely thin and flexible and can be printed directly onto surfaces like plastic, glass, and steel. This technology turns tents and backpacks into mobile chargers, extends battery life of portable electronic devices, and turns windows into solar panels."
Vaporosens – University of Utah"We focus on safeguarding the society by providing the best technological solutions. We do this by developing extremely sensitive sensors for detecting explosives. At VaporoSens Inc., we are developing nanotechnology-based detectors, which can be attached into existing detector devices to make them far more efficient. Using these sensors, devices can detect minute traces of explosive that cannot be sensed otherwise. We plan to make the way for these sensors into various detector devices, air samplers and air purifiers. VaporoSens keeps an eye on its surroundings, making it safe and protected round the clock."
