Innovations

A smartphone-enabled imaging platform that creates quantitative maps of dental plaque acidity to help identify cavity risk before tooth damage occurs. The technology enables low-cost, non-invasive monitoring in both home and dental care settings. 

A self-navigating emergency airway device that uses soft robotics to simplify airway placement, reducing training requirements and enabling faster respiratory support in emergency and battlefield settings. 

A ready-to-use endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) system that enables faster, standardized treatment of gastrointestinal leaks using existing hospital infrastructure, eliminating the need for clinician-built devices.

An ultrathin, flexible endoscope that uses meta-optics and computational imaging to enable visualization deep within narrow, tortuous blood vessels. Designed to improve image-guided stroke and cardiovascular interventions where conventional endoscopes cannot reach. 

A noninvasive ultrasound-guided therapy that breaks urinary stones into passable fragments, offering an alternative to surgery for cats with ureteral obstructions. The technology combines real-time imaging and targeted stone treatment in a single procedure to reduce risk, recovery time, and treatment burden for feline patients. 

A low-cost, wearable ultrasound sensor that continuously monitors lung fluid buildup without requiring imaging specialists or repeated scans. The technology enables automated, hands-free detection of pulmonary congestion for patients with heart failure and other cardiac or respiratory conditions. 

This integrated photonics platform steers laser beams electronically on a tiny chip, reducing size and power requirements while enabling next-generation sensing, imaging, and communication systems. 

This direct-write photonics platform creates rewritable optical circuits on demand, enabling rapid design iteration, programmable photonic systems, and lower-cost development of next-generation optical technologies. 

This energy conversion system upconverts otherwise wasted near-infrared light to the visible spectrum, helping increase solar cell efficiency through scalable, non-toxic materials compatible with commercial manufacturing processes. 

This battery-free monitoring platform uses tree-embedded sensors to track vegetation growth and detect wildfire risks in real time, enabling proactive management of utility transmission corridors. 

A drop-in water treatment media that enhances capture of emerging PFAS contaminants using molecularly imprinted polymers, helping utilities meet evolving regulations while leveraging existing carbon filtration systems. 

VersarAI provides a policy-aware personalization layer for AI agents, helping enterprises apply organizational rules consistently while adapting agent behavior to user-specific needs and preferences. 

A digital health platform that integrates wearable and mobile device data with clinical workflows to help patients increase physical activity and enable providers to deliver personalized, data-driven care between visits. 

A single-cell analysis platform that simultaneously measures DNA sequence, DNA methylation, and gene expression from the same cell. The technology enables researchers to directly connect genetic changes to cellular behavior at unprecedented resolution and scale. 

This ultrasound technique briefly shuts off blood flow only inside tumors, so they show up as dark voids. Suspicious liver lesions can be confirmed during the scan, catching cancer while it’s still curable. 

A long-read sequencing and bioinformatics platform that improves detection of biological relationships and ancestry without relying on population reference databases. The technology enables higher-resolution identification of distant genetic relatives across diverse populations. 

HRDefine is a diagnostic test designed to identify ovarian and triple-negative breast cancer patients who may benefit from poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor therapy, including patients who may be missed by current testing methods. By providing a more complete picture of tumor biology, it has the potential to expand access to targeted therapies and help guide more personalized treatment decisions.
