Profusa Named One of FierceMedTech's "Fierce 15" Companies To Watch

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Feb. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Profusa today announced that it has been named by FierceMedTech as one of 2018's Fierce 15 med tech companies, designating it as one of the most promising private med tech companies in the industry.

Profusa, an empowered health company, strives to enable individuals, clinicians, researchers and health data scientists to understand, and make informed decisions about their health and well-being like never before via its first-of-its-kind injectable biosensor platform technology. It is designed to continuously capture biochemical data so that people and their healthcare teams can monitor their health in real-time. The company's first clinical offering, the Lumee™ Oxygen Platform, is intended for continuous, real-time monitoring of tissue oxygen levels and addresses key concerns (foreign body response, data quality, usability and cost) associated with other available solutions aimed at capturing, analyzing and sharing continuous streams of personal health data.

"We've created the technology that, for the first time, gives you medical-grade, high-value information but in a way that anyone can access and benefit from. We look forward to continuing towards our mission of making the invaluable data and insights embedded in a biochemical signature available to everyone, anytime and anywhere – and to make healthcare a proactive, collaborative and informed experience."

The Fierce 15 celebrates the spirit of being "fierce" – championing innovation and creativity, even in the face of intense competition.
