NEMIC Co-Founder and Managing Partner Lydia Shin Schroter has been racking up the air miles lately. She’s been crisscrossing the globe, introducing the New England Medical Innovation Center and all it can do for the Med Tech industry to an international audience.

The Med Tech Leadership Program curriculum was designed based on firsthand research and interviews with industry professionals, CEOs, venture capitalists, angel investors, and seasoned Med Tech entrepreneurs. The goal was to provide aspiring entrepreneurs and Med Tech professionals with the complete picture of how to bring a regulated medical device or digital health product to market.

Team NEMIC was overwhelmed with the response to this year's Softball; we received a record number of applications from Med Tech and Digital Health startups looking to be a part of the event. It was quite a challenge to narrow the pool down to the final lineup of pitchers.

After much deliberation and consideration, the cohort for the NEMIC Foundation's 2022-23 Activate Program has been selected! While applications were only open for a brief amount of time, we were overwhelmed with both the quantity and quality of startup applicants interested in participating in this accelerator.

Thank you to everyone who was able to join Team NEMIC and Veranex for The Med Tech Meetup on August 3rd! We were thrilled to see so many familiar faces and many new ones.

It was a night packed with tasty drinks from the Blu Violet Roof Bar, catching up with old friends, and making new connections, all with the stunning Providence skyline as a backdrop.

The NEMIC Foundation has just wrapped up another program with one of our earliest global partners, ActnerLab. Located in South Korea, ActnerLab is a business incubator and entrepreneurship education hub for Korean hardware startups with the goal of international expansion.

Last night, the NEMIC Team held a gathering to celebrate the end of the program, and 5 teams pitched the projects that they've been working on.

With all that we do here at the NEMIC Foundation, it's sometimes hard to put it all into words. So, we made a video!

Well, not all on our own. We got some help from our talented friends.

When you donate to the Foundation for the New England Medical Innovation Center, you support innovators and entrepreneurs in Med Tech.

BARBARA MORSE: There's a new -- first and only one-of-its kind -- implant to treat spine fractures.

This idea was hatched in Rhode Island, through a collaboration that encourages the creation of new medical technology. It's called the New England Medical Innovation Center in Providence.

It was there that a man with both mechanical engineering and a business degree came up with what could revolutionize the way spine fractures are repaired.

"The very first one was done in 2019 and that one actually was in Oklahoma," said Dom Messerli, founder of Lenoss Medical, and the developer of this new device. "It's the first and only biological solution to treat those spinal fractures."

When an infant under four weeks of age shows a fever, the standard of care is a spinal tap to rule out Meningitis. This infection is dangerous, and delays in diagnosis can lead to an extended hospital stay or even death. The traditional constraint method consists of physically holding the baby in a 'crunched' position during the spinal tap procedure, which requires several people to keep the baby perfectly still while the tap is administered.

Aurie has built technical prototypes of the catheter system and tested them in microbiology labs at the University of Notre Dame and conducted human factors testing of interactive prototypes with catheter users in Houston, TX. The startup has received several grants to support its vision, including from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research.
