This startup develops a smart temperature management system for body temperature regulation. Their devices apply heat or cold to the back of the neck and use water-circulating tubes with polymeric pads to non-invasively add or remove heat from the body core, assisting healthcare providers in rapid temperature control.

Problem
Current methods of body temperature regulation often involve invasive procedures or lack precise control, posing challenges for healthcare providers in rapidly stabilizing patients. Existing external cooling or heating methods may be inefficient or cause discomfort, hindering effective temperature management.
Solution
Mercury Biomed is developing a non-invasive temperature management system that uses a wearable device to regulate body temperature through the application of heat or cold to the back of the neck. The device employs water-circulating tubes with polymeric pads to efficiently add or remove heat from the body's core, enabling healthcare providers to achieve rapid and precise temperature control. This approach aims to improve patient comfort and outcomes by providing a more effective and less invasive method for managing body temperature.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes healthcare providers in hospitals and clinical settings who require rapid and precise body temperature management for patients.
Features
- Wearable device for non-invasive temperature regulation
- Water-circulating tubes with polymeric pads for efficient heat transfer
- Precise temperature control through targeted application to the back of the neck
