American Heart Association (AHA) Health Tech Competition
In November, 2023, the American Heart Association Center for Health Technology & Innovation selected PyrAmes as the best business pitch by a panel of expert judges at its annual Health Tech Competition during Scientific Sessions 2023. PyrAmes was one of five finalists in AHA’s competition, which aims to drive innovation and foster advancements with the potential to transform the landscape of heart and brain health.
TEAMFund Global Health Innovator Award
In October, 2023, PyrAmes CEO and Co-founder, Xina Quan, Ph.D., was recognized as the sixth winner of TEAMFund's Annual Global Health Innovator Award and the sixth consecutive Female Founder. TEAMFund, is a 501(c)(3) Public Charity and a For-Profit Impact Fund whose mission is to enhance patient access to medical technology in low-resource settings.
Catalyzing Pediatric Innovation Grant
In August, 2023, PyrAmes was awarded a Catalyzing Pediatric Innovation (CPI) grant by the West Coast Consortium for Technology & Innovation in Pediatrics (CTIP), centered at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and funded by the U.S. FDA. PyrAmes was chosen for its novel approach to monitor the blood pressure of critically-ill, yet stabilized, infants who have not yet been treated for hypotension, by extending the use of its non-invasive, wearable Boppli device.
NIH RADx Tech for Maternal Health Challenge
In May 2023, PyrAmes was one of only 10 companies chosen to enter the final Technology Assessment phase of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) RADx Tech for Maternal Health Challenge. The goal of the RADx Challenge is to improve maternal health outcomes for those who live in areas lacking access to maternity care through innovative promising home-based or point-of-care diagnostic devices, wearables, and other remote sensing technologies. PyrAmes’ submission, Non-invasive, Continuous Blood Pressure Monitoring for Postpartum Maternal Health, focuses on its Bosimi platform, a noninvasive, wearable sensor designed to monitor blood pressure of women during their postpartum period, when the risk of maternal mortality is highest.
“We’re thrilled by the validation from these respected organizations of our efforts to enable non-invasive and continuous blood pressure monitoring,” said Xina Quan, Ph.D., PyrAmes Co-founder and CEO. “Our vision is to see our devices as a component of standard care for every medical interaction, similar to the ubiquitous use of pulse oximetry.”
