Opsys has developed the worlds most advanced solid-state scanning LiDAR sensor. Opsys technology uses fully addressable VCSEL arrays, combined with a single chip addressable CMOS SPAD array. No moving parts allows for 24/7 operation. This gives the benefit of ensuring there are no mechanical failures over time, which increases the LiDARs lifetime expectancy well beyond any other solution on the market today.
The patented technology provides a 4D point cloud in real time. Opsys sensors provide major cost savings as they are semiconductor-based, and the solution is scalable. The high-performance sensor is already in mass production.
Opsys technology is designed as a Lego brick system to enable complete customization at an affordable price.
In addition, to the original Opsys LiDAR used in autonomous driving, the company has also developed a LiDAR especially for industry, the ALTOS (Advanced LiDAR Technology Opsys).
The ALTOS provides a fully integrated solution to meet the myriads of demands of industry across numerous different sectors, such as Smart Cities, Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS), Robotics, Smart Factories, AGV and Security (for example in Perimiter Security, Public Safety, Healthcare and Education).

Sensifree is a medical device company, on a mission to revolutionize how patients are cared for in hospitals.
We address the need for continuous blood pressure monitoring in patients going through procedures under anesthesia. In the majority of the cases, blood pressure is monitored using a cuff, once every 5 minutes.
This gap in blood pressure monitoring, may cause the anesthesiologist to react late to hypotension events, that might have serious adverse effects.
We are developing continuous, noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring solutions, based on a proprietary platform.
Our first product provides blood pressure monitoring for patients undergoing surgical procedures or admitted to the ICU.
The product provides beat-to-beat reading and waveform display similar to the invasive arterial line, without the risks and costs associated with it.
