This early-stage startup specializes in postoperative remote monitoring technology that enables healthcare providers to track patient recovery metrics in real-time. By facilitating continuous data collection and analysis, the solution enhances patient safety and reduces the need for in-person follow-ups.

Problem
Post-operative venous clots are a common and potentially life-threatening surgical complication, affecting over 1 million people in the US annually and contributing to significant mortality and healthcare costs. Current prevention and detection methods often lack patient compliance due to portability issues and may not provide real-time monitoring of clotting risk.
Solution
PopCheck Technologies offers a remote patient monitoring platform designed to prevent, detect, and alert healthcare providers to the formation of post-operative venous clots. The system utilizes a wearable, AI-enabled device, VenaCheck, that non-invasively provides real-time patient data to manage the development of venous clots and eliminate delays in care. The PopCheck® Digital Platform includes a mobile app for patients to track their recovery and report symptoms, and a provider portal for real-time monitoring of patient recovery, enabling timely interventions and potentially avoiding costly readmissions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes post-operative patients at high risk for venous thromboembolism, particularly those undergoing total joint replacements, and healthcare providers (surgeons, physicians, and nurses) involved in their post-operative care.
Features
- Wearable VenaCheck device for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of biomarkers associated with venous clot formation
