Y50K Biotechnology Entrepreneurial Competition 2007
Location: YES
The Y2K Biotechnology Entrepreneurial Competition is an entrepreneurial competition designed to help generate ideas and form teams for the Y50K Biotechnology Entrepreneurial Competition in the spring. Teams that enter the competition must submit a short, written description of the market opportunity for their company, their competitive advantage, and a description of the skills each team member brings to the team.
Please read the rules for the Y2K Biotechnology Entrepreneurial Competition.
First Place Winner:
SeroLogic. Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in women, with a five-year survival rate under 35%. Its high mortality rate is driven by the fact that roughly 75% of patients are not diagnosed until the cancer is well-advanced and has spread beyond the ovaries. SeroLogic has developed a simple blood test to detect ovarian cancer in its earliest stages when it can be treated and cured. Our business will generate revenue by selling easy-to-use blood test kits, manufactured under contract, that can be used in clinical laboratories and doctors' offices to screen at-risk patients for ovarian cancer.
Second Place Winner:
TinyFi. TinyFi is a medical device company that will capitalize upon proprietary, patent-pending technologies licensed from Johns Hopkins University to develop the world's first cost-effective wireless medical monitor to provide real-time, hospital-wide, 24/7 patient monitoring that covers everything from pre-hospital and in-hospital emergency care to disaster response.
Third Place Winner:
EquityEdit. EquityEdit profits from the demand for technical document editing services to meet the revenue needs of medical relief organizations. We recruit biomedical graduate students to edit manuscripts written by medical scientists for whom English is not a first language. All revenue generated is used to aid non-profit public health organizations.

Winners First Place Winner:
Aid Networks (AIDN). AIDN is a seed-stage medical device and healthcare information technology research and development company. Its mission is to produce the lowest-cost vital sign sensors enabling hospital-wide patient monitoring. Unlike traditional telemetry units or patient-worn monitors available on the market today, the AIDN patent-pending solution is smaller and 15 times less expensive. Designed using low cost sensors and a self-configuring and self-healing wireless mesh network, AIDN can be quickly deployed throughout the hospital and at mass casualty sites to accommodate both regular patient care and surge conditions. The system includes software that provides surveillance and alarm notification to caregivers, via a nurse-carried device, and central locations like nursing stations. AIDN has begun multi-center clinical trials at the Washington Hospital Center, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutes, and Harvard Beth Israel.
