Novoheart Wins 2018 MedTech Breakthrough Award
LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) June 13, 2018 -- MedTech Breakthrough, an independent organization that recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global health and medical technology market today, announced that it has selected Novoheart as the winner of its “Best New Technology Solution – Drug Development” award in the 2018 MedTech Breakthrough Awards competition.
Novoheart’s innovations include a fluid-ejecting, three-dimensional ‘human heart-in-a-jar’, also known as the human ventricular Cardiac Organoid Chamber or hvCOC, which enables the clinically informative assessment of human cardiac pump performance, such as cardiac output, developed pressure, and ejection fraction. The ‘human heart-in-a-jar’ developed by Novoheart provides an efficient and informative platform for advanced drug discovery. With artificial intelligence integrated into the platform, the human heart-in-a-jar platform can automatically detect drug toxicity and efficacy relevant to the human heart with industry-leading accuracy and proficiency.
“The spirit of the MedTech Breakthrough Awards program is in the recognition of truly innovative healthcare and medical technologies and solutions,” said James Johnson, managing director, MedTech Breakthrough. “Novoheart strongly displays that spirit of innovation with its MyHeart™ platform, a powerful solution for drug development that Novheart is pioneering. We are thrilled to recognize Novoheart for its passion and hard work in developing the technology and helping improve the advancement of the drug development process.”
The mission of the MedTech Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize innovation, diligence, and success in a range of health and medical technology categories, including Robotics, Clinical Administration, Telehealth, Patient Engagement, Electronic Health Records (EHR), mHealth, Medical Devices, Medical Data and many more. This year’s program attracted more than 3,000 nominations from over 12 different countries across the globe.
“This award is a fantastic validation of our team’s dedication to innovation,” said Dr. Ronald Li, Co-founder & CEO, Novoheart. “We are very grateful for the industry recognition, and will continue to dedicate our efforts to ensuring that promising new drug candidates will be identified more quickly and accurately, for safe and effective benefit to patients.”
