University of Washington spinouts Apertur and Wavely Diagnostics have created AI-powered tools for helping to diagnose concussion and ear infection symptoms.
(Images via Wavely)A “virtual medicine cabinet” to provide families with digital tools to manage some aspects of healthcare from home is up and running with the first app in a partnership between Seattle-based health tech startups.
Wavely Diagnostics and Apertur are both University of Washington spinouts working on AI-powered smartphone apps to solve different problems.
Wavely’s app uses acoustic reflectometry — reflecting chirps off the eardrum — to detect middle ear fluid, a key sign of ear infections.
Jacob Reider, chief health officer at Wavely, is a onetime family physician with extensive experience across health tech.
