Nine emerging device, diagnostic and digital health startups will get just 10 minutes to highlight their companies at Oregon Bioscience Showcase 2017’s 6th Annual Company Pitch Showcase on Monday, Oct. 30 at 1 p.m. in OMSI’s Empirical Theater. To kick off the event, Governor Kate Brown will welcome the next generation of researchers and startups.
Hundreds of attendees will get the direct line on formative concepts from these startups such as how artificial intelligence is being used to extract biological information; how wearable technologies will precisely track patients’ responses to interventions; how to help developing countries diagnose and manage parasites that cause such diseases as malaria; and how a USB-drive-sized device with a humanized microscopic animal represents an individual patient’s version of a disease, among other technologies.
