Startups:

• Telebionix: Telebionix is revolutionizing healthcare by developing smart, AI-driven, clinical-
grade remote devices designed for ease of use and accessibility. This technology enables
the elderly and individuals with limited mobility to receive high-quality healthcare from
the comfort of their homes, extending reach to remote and underserved communities
globally.
• SurgiQ srl: SurgiQ addresses intricate planning challenges related to highly valuable and
critical healthcare resources. By leveraging AI-based planning algorithms, SurgiQ has
developed specialized applications that significantly improve complex resource planning.
The company is now introducing its technology as a cloud-based engine, seamlessly
integrating it into products and services from key partners.
• Heka Digital Technologies: The Heka AI platform gathers and monitors users' vital
signs to enable early detection and timely intervention, enhancing healthcare outcomes
and preventing complications and premature deaths among individuals with non-
communicable diseases. By running predictive analysis on patient data, the AI identifies
warning signs and issues alerts to both patients and their assigned physicians, prompting
necessary actions. For instance, a hypertensive patient wearing an Apple Watch can have
their vital signs synchronized with our mobile app, facilitating continuous monitoring of
their blood pressure and heart rate.
• Diagnosoft Healthcare Ltd: Diagnosoft is a pioneering HealthTech startup that leverages
AI and machine learning models to diagnose diseases from medical imaging scans with
remarkable accuracy. The value proposition lies in our ability to detect abnormalities in
under 5 seconds, compared to the 30 minutes typically required by radiologists. This
rapid, high-accuracy detection significantly reduces misdiagnosis rates, ultimately saving
lives and lowering medical claim costs for hospitals. Diagnosoft's advanced deep learning
models specialize in predicting and diagnosing conditions such as brain tumors, brain and
chest trauma, and tuberculosis from scanned images.
