Keriton – Montgomery County
Every year around 500,000 infants are admitted to one of the 1,100+ Neonatal ICUs (NICUs) across US. While mother’s breast milk is important for all newborns, it is vital for the survival of these fragile patients. However, despite its critical role, the current state of breast milk management in NICUs is extremely manual, labor-intensive and error prone. Keriton is working with Penn Medicine to develop a new gold-standard for breast milk management. With end-to-end process automation and validation, Keriton’s HIPAA-compliant SaaS suite significantly lowers the nurses’ time spent on breast milk management, reduces errors and automatically generates an audit trail for the process. The Keriton suite also aims to improve expression of breast milk in lactating NICU mothers by enhancing their pumping experience, which has been empirically linked to improved clinical outcomes.
Keriton is led by CEO, Rich Magar.
SAIL Fusion – Chester County 
SAIL Fusion is a medical device start-up advancing the treatment of sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction. SAIL is focused on providing lasting relief for patients with chronic lower back pain caused by the pelvis, and is the first to apply the proven joint fusion principles established by the AO foundation.
SAIL Fusion enables surgeons to completely fuse the SI joint with a zero-profile implant placed through a single minimally-invasive incision. The shallow posterior-inferior approach enables complete joint preparation with direct visualization. The patented implant creates rigid fixation between the sacrum and ilium through integrated multiplanar fixation. SAIL’s proprietary technology protects critical anatomy and reduces tissue disruption to avoid surgical complications. This technique provides a faster, simpler, and cost effective solution for SI joint dysfunction.
SAIL Fusion is led by CEO, David Jansen.
Strados Labs – Philadelphia County 
The Strados RESP™ platform enables clinicians and researchers to capture lung health from anywhere, anytime with the first FDA-cleared wearable sensor that records patient lung sounds remotely along with machine learning algorithms that automatically detect events such as cough, wheeze, and rhonchi. The device offers clinicians objective and earlier insight into patient symptoms of respiratory disease (such as Asthma or COPD) and enables researchers to objectively collect symptoms for clinical trials without relying on patient self-reporting.
Strados Labs is led by CEO & Cofounder, Nicholas Delmonico, COO & Cofounder, Richard Powers, CTO, Jason Kroh, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Mitchell Glass MD, & Director of Quality, Marco Fedeli.
