CES 2021 Mission for the human race, Pulxion's early detection technology is here to save lives

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, January 14, 2021

Pulxion's first product, PulStroke, is a novel fast-screening device for carotid artery stenosis, an early indicator of stroke.

Key Points: 
  • Pulxion's first product, PulStroke, is a novel fast-screening device for carotid artery stenosis, an early indicator of stroke.
  • Current clinical diagnosis procedures for early detection of carotid artery stenosis risk use Doppler ultrasound.
  • Therefore, patients without existing conditions are less willing to go through the assessment and thus lose the chance for early assessment and prevention.
  • These resources are accelerating the team's research and knowledge, and the company will be featured as a top-100 Taiwanese startup at CES 2021.
