Health Engine News

  • Founder Series

    We sat down with Wei Escala, founder of Eggschain - a platform for guarding patients’ data using the Bitcoin blockchain.

    Wei discussed her career leading to becoming a founder, the unique opportunities in healthcare today, and how she became the first person to put her own eggs on the blockchain!

  • Fundraising

    BioSapien (HE Cohort VI) raised $5.5M to begin clinical trials in the UAE for their cancer localization solution.

    Their vision is to offer a fair fight to cancer patients by treating cancer at the tumor site using their flagship product: the MediChip. Think of it as a patch that can be applied at the cancer site to deliver chemotherapy locally rather than the current methods which are infamous for having severe on-target and off-target effects.

  • Demo Day VII
