The link hosted another installment of the Innovation Symposium on the topic of health technology on Thursday, April 9.
Debbie Kantor, founder of Hero Medical Technologies, gave a presentation about how her business is helping to provide faster emergency care.
Hero Medical Technologies is designed to assist with head injuries and other medical emergencies. The cap-shaped smart hero bandage was designed specifically for a head injury. It is three times faster than rolled gauze and offers full coverage and higher absorbency for improved bleeding control. The bandage is cap-shaped so that even untrained responders can quickly apply the bandage.
The Hero Link is the first bandage with patented dynamic color-coded alerts for temperature, pulse and oxygen monitoring. It can detect infections and whether or not a patient’s condition is getting worse.
Kantor is a nurse practitioner who studied at the University of Pennsylvania. She has more than 20 years of clinical experience, which led to her patented cap-shaped bandage.
There was also a presentation at the symposium about Unlockt, a program designed to help children with ADHD. More than 7.1 million people are affected by ADHD in the United States.
Unlockt offers a different approach to ADHD, compared to medication. Unlockt strives to give families with kids ages 5-14 with ADHD a clear roadmap for success at home and at school.
In the Unlockt program, kids will learn how to focus, follow through and stay organized. They will also learn how to manage their emotions, build good habits and feel confident at school.
Parents will also learn practical strategies that bring more calmness and consistency into school and home life.
