Pathkeeper Surgical is a medical device company utilizing AI and 3D imaging to create a paradigm shift in spinal surgeries. At present, there are 5 million spinal surgeries taking place annually worldwide, with a success rate of 20%-30%. This is due to the lack of real-time imaging and navigation assistance throughout surgery. While navigation systems do exist, they are costly and use CT images combined with still shots, not taking into account patient movement while the surgery is taking place. Pathkeeper has developed the first Machine-Vision Image Guided Surgery system that allows spine surgeons to perform radiation-free spinal navigation while remaining cost-effective. Our Spine Navigation System provides real-time 3D images using machine-vision and proprietary camera-based technology throughout the surgery, leveraging machine-vision to segmentally register individual vertebrae in seconds, accounting for intersegmental motion, and maintaining accuracy throughout the entire procedure. The real-time feedback allows surgeons to be 5X more accurate in screw placement versus the best robotic navigation systems that exist today. Moreover, Pathkeeper has reduced the entire workflow time to less than 15 seconds for patient registration in contrast to the 30 minutes it takes competitor’s systems to register their patients. Additionally, the system's low cost of goods and bills of material ensure that the device will be affordable to both big hospitals and small clinics, thereby catering to a diverse clientele.

Built to simplify workplace giving and volunteering, the Uncommon Giving platform enables employers to live their corporate values, improve employee morale, enhance brand reputation, and engage their employees with a modern, cost-effective set of tools to impact the causes their employees care about the most! Easy onboarding and support. We vet nonprofits and process donations twice a month, so you can focus on program strategy. It’s “purpose-driven” employee engagement with an immediate ROI.

Here's to the Creator. And here's to the creators — those who are inspired by something so much that they willingly endure long-suffering to refine their craft and make something that lasts. We get it. It's a struggle, long and arduous. That's why we share our creation: amazing whiskey, inspired from within by our spire, enabling our in-bottle finishing, defining our flavor and character, and perfecting our creation. It's a suitable reward for anyone who puts whatever is in them, out there.

We’re on a mission to inspire the world to give by helping nonprofits easily accept stock and cryptocurrency donations.

Kansas City-based Applogie, LLC was founded in 2017 by a team of enterprise technology enthusiasts who recognized the need for a solution to what they’d observed as one of the principal difficulties plaguing organizations going cloud-based: forecasting and managing subscription costs, license use and renewals as cloud subscription needs increase. Traditional finance tools didn’t allow enough control or insight into these expenses, and disparate teams across organizations struggle to keep visibility into their growing need to operate in the cloud. Applogie provides a solution to this complex problem, driving value, transparency and collaboration while simplifying operational processes, leading to a completely efficient cloud experience.

MyMedicalHUB is connecting Wellness, Health and Worker's Compensation Industries through our proprietary musculoskeletal care and case management solution. Deploying MyMedicalHub’s architecture between Employers, Employees, Wellness Providers, TPA’s and Insurers provides a gateway of meaningful data for identifying and intervening in all stages of musculoskeletal care cycles. Through the MyMedicalHUB platform, you will acquire peer reviewed and validated meaningful data, which enables responsible parties to successfully predict and manage outcomes through measurable wellness and medical interventions. MyMedicalHUB provides you with quantified risk factors that are responsible for creating catastrophic and costly events. Utilizing MyMedicalHub analytics provides responsible parties the data to proactively intervene in care models that directly impact and reduce catastrophic events. Our musculoskeletal assessment solution can be delivered in person or through our telemedicine interface with VAssess™ technology, a virtual measurements and movements capture system. It provides predictive analytics through the collection and analyzation of data from over 900 points on the human body. The assessment which benchmarks the major components of the body provides precise insights to the risks associated with musculoskeletal catastrophic injuries. The MSK assessment has achieved a 96% accuracy rate in identifying catastrophic risk factors. MyMedicalHUB’s MSK assessment benchmarks regions of the body which can be applied for pre-injury, at the time of injury and post treatment. These analytics are used to guide treatment protocols allowing for predictable and measurable outcomes. Your Virtual Risk Manager™ puts you back in the driver's seat of your wellness, insurance and worker's compensation employee programs with real-time visibility and access to critical risk factor data that are responsible for driving your #1 healthcare expense.

The growth of minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic procedures has made it harder for surgeons to find lost needles, broken instruments, and other types of sharps and fragments. Because retained objects can cause serious harm to patients, surgeons always go to great lengths to ensure all tools are accounted for. But when dealing with an average of 300 tools per surgery, multiple rotations of staff, and parts breaking off, it is challenging to keep track of everything. While RFID technology is deployed on sponges, surgeons must rely on visual searches for any metal objects such as needles, sharps, and broken tools. If the item isn’t found, patients typically receive an X-ray scan and more anesthesia as OR staff spend more time searching—all of which significantly increases costs and risk. Robotic surgeons, Dr. Sam Weprin and Dr. Dan Eun, set out to solve this problem. With the help of biomedical engineering professor, Dr. John Noel, they invented the Melzi Sharps Finder that works on open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgeries.
