Elfi-Tech has developed a non-invasive and unique sensing technology for subcutaneous blood flow monitoring. Elfi-Tech is aiming to address the home-care/elderly market segment with special focus on ease-of-use. One of the company’s product has already started mass production and sales in Japan with Murata Manufacturing. The management team is led by high-tech serial entrepreneurs.
Business Strategy
Elfi-Tech is licensing its technology to partners which are medical devices or consumer products companies. Revenues are coming from licensing fees and paid royalties. Elfi-Tech is looking for partners willing to use the unique features provided by the company technology.
Core Technology
The Elfi-Tech blood flow sensor is utilizing the Dynamic Light Scattering technology. Elfi-Tech’s (mDLS) sensor is significantly smaller and more sensitive than existing Laser-Doppler technology. This new technology opens a gate to asses cardiovascular, metabolic and neurological functioning of the body. In addition, Elfi-Tech developed a new device for the absolute blood pressure measurement at finger root which is offering a unique ease-of-use.
Product Profile/Pipeline
The company has launched a new product called “HUB station” which is providing absolute spot blood pressure on the finger root, blood flow, heart rate, HRV, SpO2, ECG; all-in-one measuring device which can be used easily for home-care or for first-line screening. The product has a fast ROI by saving hospitalization days for patients suffering from cardiovascular and other chronic illnesses requiring close monitoring which will now be possible from home instead of hospitalization.
What’s Next?
R&D is focused on new applications in the fields of pain/stress, patient monitoring and cardiovascular. All these activities are based on intensive clinical research.
