Sempulse
Sempulse is a medical device manufacturer with offices in San Diego and Austin. A patented, non-invasive vital signs sensor adheres to the back of the ear and acquires patients' 5 major vital signs. That's industry-first cuffless blood pressure, pulse oximetry, heart rate, respiratory rate, and core body temperature, plus geolocation and a wealth of additional information. They have developed their technology working with the Department of Defense, who determined that over half of the US fatalities in Iraq and Afghanistan were potentially survivable. The sensors are equally capable in the civilian world with applications ranging from triage and mass casualty, to NICU, and to telemedicine.
