The award is in recognition of the HYPERACT study – a new multi-center, randomized controlled trial which offers high velocity therapy as an additional, more comfortable, option for clinicians treating acute exacerbations of moderate-severe COPD.

Key Points: 
  • The award is in recognition of the HYPERACT study – a new multi-center, randomized controlled trial which offers high velocity therapy as an additional, more comfortable, option for clinicians treating acute exacerbations of moderate-severe COPD.
  • Acute exacerbations of COPD contribute to over 600K emergency room (ER) visits and 140K deaths annually in the US alone.
  • "This study concludes that high velocity therapy provides similar clinical results and statistically superior patient reported comfort compared to mask-based therapies."

Visual Patient Avatar is designed to improve situational awareness with ground-breaking elegance by visualizing vital information through animations, colors and shapes.

Key Points: 
  • Visual Patient Avatar is designed to improve situational awareness with ground-breaking elegance by visualizing vital information through animations, colors and shapes.
  • By glancing at a monitor with Visual Patient Avatar, anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists can recall and process critical data more quickly, efficiently and confidently – ultimately helping to save lives.
  • Visual Patient Avatar was designed in partnership with two clinicians at the Visualization Technology Research Group at the Institute of Anesthesiology, University Hospital of Zürich.
  • The inspiration for Visual Patient Avatar came from a hobby of the two clinicians, flying airplanes.

BOSTON, Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With NanoMosaic's nanoneedle technology, researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School detected Tau and phosphor-Tau proteins in serum samples from patients under major cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Elevation of Tau and phosphor-Tau proteins were observed before and after the surgery, and Tau protein is identified as a potential serum biomarker of delirium after cardiac surgery. The study has been published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia.

Key Points: 
  • The study has been published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia.
  • "NanoMosaic has implemented the tools and infrastructure to transition from the research bench to the clinic," Boyce concluded.
  • The proprietary technology enables rapid, end user customization for assay development for proteomic and/or nucleic acid content.
  • The NanoMosaic platform allows researchers to push the frontiers in biomarker discovery and diagnostics.
