Healing Technologies aims to develop an intestine-exploring robotic pill that can provide early screening for intestinal ailments from home. The pill would wirelessly transmit its position and samples collected within the intestine to allow computer-driven diagnosis with fewer errors than existing endoscopy methods. The startup faces risks developing the diagnostic technology and pill design, but partners with universities advancing microbiome science and seeks funding from grants and investors to bring the life-saving benefits of early intestinal cancer detection to patients worldwide.
Wireless healthcare: the next generationJeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to analyze how wireless healthcare are becoming economic feasible. Improvements in microprocessor and transceiver ICs, MEMS, photo-sensors, and other electronic components are making wireless healthcare economically feasible. These slides show how improvements in these components are making capsule endoscopy, smart drug delivery, and digital pills economically feasible. Capsule endoscopy involves sending a small device through the body, particularly the digestive system, to take images. Further improvements in electronic components are needed to further reduce the size of these devices. Drugs can be dispensed through smart pills at programmed times or can be triggered by sensors that detect the correct location. Digital pills send signals to mobile phones or other devices when the pills have been taken. The slides conclude by discussing the role of mobile phones in increasing the number of wireless healthcare applications.
I manage my health with digital tools and I’m not alone. An estimated and growing 69% of consumers and patients are also engaged in monitoring their own healthcare . The interest in personal wellness combined with the proliferation of healthcare ‘wearables’ available to consumer puts us on the cusp of an extraordinary shift in healthcare: Technology enabled patients are empowered to change their lifestyle to prevent or stop chronic disease, and become healthier than ever before. The implications of this on every aspect of the healthcare industry –from delivery and population health to access and cost will be astounding.
But wearable technology is still in its infancy, quite complex and limited in what it can do. The next generation will be intelligent and voice-enabled and go beyond tracking to interacting with and assisting consumers with their healthcare choices, and changing behaviors for the better. Imagine a wearable that could warn you of risks developing, nudge you towards better choices for that day based on your health profile, and keep you engaged in a treatment regime.
Digital Health Disruption - Consumerization Transforms HealthcaremyNEXT
Digital Health is transforming healthcare as we know it. Sensors, mobile devices, online marketplaces, big data analytics, and internet tools & services empower consumers/patients to take their health into their own hands. Disruptive change has consumerized many products and industries in the past: photocopiers, PC, and refrigerators. The same is happening in healthcare now.
Using research software in a production environmentMorgan Taschuk
The exponential increase in data has caused an analysis bottleneck: the effort needed to manage the data and develop complex analysis pipelines is greater than the collection itself. I discuss some of the major techniques we used in order to turn our research pipelines into a production system able to analyze diverse datasets with minimal failures. I highlight the importance of valid metadata, the adaptation of research software, and surrounding infrastructure including workflow systems.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. Our Business Concept
Intestine-Exploring Pill
• Healing Technologies will bring early screening for
intestinal ailments from the doctors office into people's
homes.
• To accomplish this goal we will develop a home-based
test which will rely on our revolutionary Intestine-
Exploring Pill.
• Healing Technologies will remotely assist its global
clientele in sensor-enabled diagnostic and health
monitoring solutions.
Healing Technologies
3. Fundamental Problem
Our Value Proposition
• Currently, colonoscopy saves many lives
• Exploring intestine expence andon a regularprocedures
rearly done due to
above colon
difficulty of
basis is
• Many lives can be saved by a regular scan of intestine
• Other intestinethat must be analysed by doctors
produce data
imaging pills existing on the market
• On theautomated diagnosis with fewer errors

other hand our robotic pill will allow computer-
• Due to the service we will and cost savings of our
diagnostic
conveniences
save lives!
4. Our Product
Intestine-Exploring Pill
Our revolutionary pill will rely on recent discovery about the
nature of microbes covering various tissues including
skin or linings of the stomach being correlated with either
healthy tissue or a presence of a disease.
The pill propelled by peristalsis will
wirelessly transmit its coordinates
within the intestine. Its design will
allow correlating the samples it
collects to positions of the pill within
the intestine.
Healing Technologies
5. Our Team
• Michael Feygin a mechanical engineer and a proven
high-tech entrepreneur
• Max Mamonkin- a bio-medical scientist who is an
immanently graduating PhD candidate at Baylor
Medical University
• Abhijit Tamba a wireless application development
engineer from India
• Vanya Valindriaa a PhD candidate and a computer
vision applications developer from Netherlands, and the
team leader
HEALING TECHNOLOGIES
6. Business Model
• Our initial intent was to use a pill design similar to the one
used by Given and Sony. The images of the intestine would
be sent via networks to India or another location, where
human operators would analyze them and come up with alerts
when needed. This concept was susceptible to human error.
• Thus, we refocused our development towards developing a
diagnostic pill that would provide automated computer-driven
analysis of a patients condition.
HEALING TECHNOLOGIES
7. Sales and Marketing
• We will initiate our distribution through the
company’s website
• The most important objective will be to
transition our sale to medical hardware and
services sellers and distributors.
• We will target sellers and distributors of medical
hardware and services.
• Private physicians who participate in our
programs will be allocated a referral physicians
HEALING TECHNOLOGIES
8. Risks
• Develop a diagnostic technology, which will allow
correlating analytic data of a patient's microbiome to
his/her health condition. This field is advancing rapidly
however, much more remains to be done.
• Developing a robotic pill that can reliably collect
samples and wirelessly relay its position. This will be
mostly our internal task. This risk is mitigated by relative
simplicity of the envisioned device.
• Our ability to raise finances.
HEALING TECHNOLOGIES
9. Partners and Allies
• We expect research Universities such as
Baylor, UCLA and others (advance science
of microbiome).
• Funding providers (angel investors,
government agencies, VCs)
• Entrepreneurs and developers of
applications and bio-medical sensors who
will add applications to our platform.
HEALING TECHNOLOGIES
10. Funding
• We will initially aim at getting government
research grants such as SBIR
• We will also pursue other sources of funding,
such as VCs and Angel Investors.
HEALING TECHNOLOGIES
11. Life Saving Benefit
• There are 153,000 colon cancer annually
diagnosed in US
• There are approximately 50,000 other
intestinal cancers annually diagnosed in US
• 50% of the diagnosed will die from the
disease within 3 years.
• By providing early diagnosis we may save
tens of thousands of lives in US and
worldwide.
