Some Fresh HealthTech Updates for you
HealthHack
February 28, 2025
Hi there 👋
HealthTech is evolving at lightning speed, and the latest innovations are all about you—your health, your safety, and your future.
Imagine cancer being caught before it spreads, discarded drugs finding new life in treating diseases, and organ transplants becoming safer with better preservation technology.
The future of healthcare is smarter, faster, and more precise—and it’s happening now.
At HealthHack, we spotlight companies making current meaningful progress —whether through scientific breakthroughs, new applications, or expanding access to life-changing treatments.
The following are this week’s game-changers shaping the way we prevent, treat, and recover.
Let’s dive in. 🚀
🩸Catching Cancer Early
Imagine a world where cancer is caught before it even causes symptoms. Universal DX is working on exactly that, using advanced diagnostics to detect cancer at its earliest and most treatable stages. This could make routine screenings a lifesaving norm.
🔬 Giving "Failed" Drugs a Second Chance
Not all drugs that fail in trials are useless—some just need a new purpose. Ignota Labs is using AI to find new uses for these discarded drugs, potentially speeding up access to effective treatments for tough-to-treat diseases.
❤️🩹 Improving Organ Transplants
Time is critical in organ transplants. OrganOx is developing better preservation technology to keep organs viable for longer, increasing the chances of successful transplants. This could save countless lives.
🤖 AI for Better Medical Research
Finding reliable medical research is a challenge. Evidence Hunt uses AI to sift through vast amounts of studies and provide clear, evidence-based insights. Doctors and researchers can now make better decisions—faster.
🎗 Natural Breast Reconstruction with Less Scarring
4Tissue is transforming post-mastectomy care with an injectable hydrogel that promotes natural tissue regeneration. This minimally invasive alternative to implants offers safer, lasting results with less scarring.
🌍 Making Healthcare More Inclusive
Not all medical technology is designed with everyone in mind. Bleta is creating inclusive healthcare solutions, ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities and underserved communities. A healthcare system that works for everyone? Yes, please.
🏃♂️A Lifesaving App for Runners
Long-distance running is great for health, but it comes with real risks. The Race Ready app, created by the Matthew Good Foundation and World Athletics, offers science-backed guidance on hydration, performance, and medical risks—helping runners avoid race-day disasters. This free app is a must-have for every endurance athlete.
👁️ Laser Precision in Eye Care
Laser treatments for eye conditions are about to get a major upgrade. Norlase is developing cutting-edge laser technology to make procedures more effective and accessible. This could bring better vision treatments to more people worldwide.
⚛️ Quantum Tech for Disease Detection
What if we could understand diseases at a single-cell level? QT-Sense is using quantum sensing to gain new insights into disease development, allowing for earlier detection and better treatment options.
🧫 Ending Guesswork in Cancer Care
Cancer treatment is often a guessing game—but Solid-IO is changing that with its "organ-on-chip" technology. By simulating how real patients respond to treatments, doctors can make personalized, data-driven decisions, reducing trial-and-error medicine.
🚛 Fixing Healthcare Logistics
Ever wondered why hospitals sometimes struggle with deliveries? QRAGO is revolutionizing medical logistics, ensuring faster and more reliable transport of essential supplies. Because in healthcare, delays cost lives.
