We’re on a mission to turn this around with the most robust optimization engine ever built for transportation planning.

Oncoustics is a unique and innovative player in the medical AI space today. Oncoustics is creating and deploying advanced AI solutions for low cost, non-invasive surveillance, diagnostics, and treatment monitoring of diseases with high unmet clinical need. We apply AI to raw ultrasound signals from readily available handheld ultrasound devices to rapidly differentiate healthy versus diseased tissues. Initially we are targeting liver disease, a $30B global diagnostic market. This year we’re filing our FDA 510(k) for Onc 001 that detects liver fibrosis. Several follow-on liver products are in development. We also have clinical data on other organ indications including prostate, kidney, breast and thyroid diseases and cancers.

SkySpecs optimizes wind farm operations and maintenance through the use of autonomous robotics, data analytics, and machine learning. Wind farms have significant costs for unplanned maintenance and downtime, resulting in a loss of energy generation and revenue. SkySpecs has developed a platform called Horizon that manages the entire blade inspection and repair process. SkySpecs completely autonomous drones collect repeatable, measurable images of all four sides of all three blades in a single flight with no human input or operation. This data is processed through Horizon and a team of blade experts help prioritize repair planning with farm operators. In 2.5 years, SkySpecs has inspected over 26,000 wind turbines in 17 countries.
