Mental Health Gamified
“Our children are facing a mental health tsunami! Big feelings don’t have to be a big problem. “said Elinor, CEO and founder of MEandMine.
MEandMine, a Silicon Valley-based startup, revolutionizes classroom well-being by using AI-flagging to identify psychological risks in young children. Combining the power of neuroscience and gamification, we use student’s emotion vitals, energy level, and social interactions to identify their daily regulation spectrums. Our algorithms then launch individualized games that help students center themselves and get ready to learn.
As students play, educators can monitor their well-being patterns in real-time. 160+ in-game data points are used for AI-flagging, identifying at-risk students and supporting tier 2 and 3 interventions - Screen early and give support quickly!
Founded in 2019, MedFluid is committed to making biomedical testing affordable and easy to use for everyone. Using patented LOC (Lab-on-a-chip) microfluidics, MedFluid has developed two products for decentralized healthcare: POCT molecular diagnosis (“O-in”) and rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (“NAST”). The patented gravity-driven microfluidic cartridge of NAST, when used in conjunction with a portable analyzer, can provide rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results in as little as 6 hours directly from collected specimens. NAST can prevent drug resistance in clinics by generating accurate antibiotic medication reports, eliminating the need for professionals and a central laboratory.As of Q1 2023, NAST is currently in use at 15 animal hospitals in Taiwan and Malaysia. The product has received significant positive feedback in the veterinarian market and MedFluid is now seeking to expand to the US and EU markets.MedFluid is searching for potential partners in the following areas: (1) Direct import and sales to distributors or hospitals for both human and veterinary markets. (2) Strategic partnerships with local device and reagent GMP suppliers. (3) CDMOs utilizing an integrated Lab-on-a-chip platform.
