CardioWise Receives Supplemental Grant from the National Science Foundation

/in , /by


(PRWEB) June 27, 2013

CardioWise, Inc. has received a National Science Foundation (NSF) Phase IB Small Business Innovation Research grant of $ 30,000 to continue the development and commercialization of a non-invasive analysis method for detection of heart disease. This award follows and builds on the successful achievement of milestones in a Phase I grant of $ 150,000 received by the company in January.

The Phase IB award is a supplement that can be granted if the recipient has demonstrated to the NSF that it has made good progress with the Phase I study, and was able to attract private investment in the firm. CardioWise closed funding from individual angel investors, as well as the VIC Growth Fund, an Arkansas investment fund established for the sole purpose of investing in early stage, high-growth potential technology companies.

Under the direction of Geoffrey Dalbow, Principle Investigator and Chief Technology Officer of CardioWise, the team will further refine Multiparametric Strain (MPS™), its patent-pending, non-invasive Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging analysis software.

“Geoffrey’s extensive experience in this area and his connections to industry leaders have supported our efforts to commercialize this promising new platform,” said Jack Coats, CEO of CardioWise. “We are excited about the future of CardioWise and its potential to positively impact cardiac health.”

The MPS™ software currently under development by CardioWise is uniquely capable of analyzing the movement of the heart captured by cardiac MRI images. The parts of the heart with damage have abnormal movement patterns and the post-MRI analysis clearly shows where and to what degree the muscle has been damaged. Unlike many other diagnostic tests, MRI with the CardioWise analysis poses no risk to the patient, and subsequent tests can be accurately compared to previous tests to see how treatment is working.

NSF Phase I project completion will make CardioWise eligible to compete for a Phase II project and award of up to $ 750,000.

CardioWise™ is commercializing patent-pending, non-invasive Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (cMRI) analysis software that produces a quantified 3D image model of the human heart, called Multiparametric Strain (MPS™) heart analysis. CardioWise heart analysis software combined with cardiac MRI is a single diagnostic test that is able to provide quantitative analysis of the myocardium, arteries and valves with an unprecedented level of detail. It has the opportunity to become the new gold standard of care for heart health analysis. CardioWise™ is a VIC Technology Venture Development™ portfolio company.







CoinJar Receives Australia's First Major Bitcoin Investment

/in , /by


Melbourne, VIC (PRWEB) December 02, 2013

CoinJar, a consumer Bitcoin exchange and digital wallet provider, has secured a round of equity investment from several prominent Australian technology investors.

Leading the investment is Niki Scevak of Blackbird Ventures. Other investors include entrepreneur Torsten Hoffman; RetailMeNot founders, Guy King and Bevan Clark; game developer Rob Murray; and serial technology investor Chris Hitchen. The combined investment is reportedly in the region of $ 500,000 AUD.

“Bitcoin is a game-changer, but the process of buying, selling and using Bitcoin is still relatively hard. CoinJar changes that by making Bitcoin more accessible and, eventually much more useful. Their approach of offering a secure consumer wallet and merchant payment capability for bitcoin in addition to a liquid exchange is what makes them interesting; as consumer and business adoption of Bitcoin becomes more mainstream, CoinJar is well-placed to be a significant participant,” said investor, Chris Hitchen. “The team, product and vision are all strong and I’m excited to be involved.”

The Melbourne based startup co-founded by Asher Tan and Ryan Zhou operates a platform where users can buy, sell and transact in bitcoin. It also provides merchant services for those looking to accept bitcoin as a medium of payment.

Bitcoin companies have gained strong interest from venture capital firms around the world as interest in the cryptocurrency, along with its price, has risen to new heights. China and Singapore are among the countries which have recently seen a wave of Bitcoin related investment deals.

“Bitcoin is moving past a purely speculative play. It is only a matter of time until business and consumers take full advantage of Bitcoin as a solution to digital payments,” said Asher Tan, co-founder and CEO of CoinJar. The company has already seen partnerships with a wide-range of goods and services providers including Australian utility vehicle producer Tomcar and crowd funding website, Pozible.

With over 10,000 Australian users, the company is looking to expand globally. CoinJar is a graduate of Australian startup incubator, AngelCube.
