Tech companies are developing innovative new tools to help detect and prevent disease earlier and with much better precision.

The $3.6B global preventative healthcare market is expected to grow to $5.5B by 2027, buoyed by innovations in detecting and managing chronic diseases. The category encompasses everything from chronic disease management technologies and early detection and screening, to vaccines and advanced tools for reducing medical errors.

Jyzen Labs is taking a personal approach to aging and disease by developing research and data-driven personalized health programs. The company’s biometrics lab provides insights into the use of their bio-resonance, heat and cold therapy, hyperbaric sleep chambers, integrative bodywork, IV therapies, NeuroFit protocols, and more.

Komodo Health is addressing the burden of disease with its platform for curating healthcare data and analytics. The cloud-based platform brings together data from across enterprise, public domain, and proprietary sources to help businesses make better decisions that improve patient outcomes.

Companies like Oncoustics are working on developing non-invasive surveillance, diagnostics, and treatment monitoring with the help of AI. In the case of Oncoustics, this involves applying AI to raw ultrasound signals. Methid focused on leveraging AI to make both research and diagnostics more effective, faster, and cheaper. And Biobot Analytics is seeking better public health by collecting data from sewage systems.

Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now

Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
