| OrthoSens develops battery-free sensors that turn standard orthopedic implants into smart, data-driven devices. Unlike existing smart implant solutions that require an implanted battery making them too large and too risky to scale beyond large joints, OrthoSens moves all electronics outside the body. A paper-thin sensor integrates directly intoexisting implants with no battery, no surgical workflow change and zero explant risk. An external wearable powers the sensor wirelessly and collects real-time data on load, micromotion and bone fusion. The result is a footprint 250x smaller than battery-powered competitors, opening up additional spine, foot & ankle markets that existing solutions cannot address. The clinical need is clear: approximately 20% of post-surgical patients drive around 68% of total post-operative costs through missed complications, continuous implant monitoring exists to catch them earlier. Starting January 2026, 745 US hospitals enrolled in CMS's mandatory TEAM bundle are now accountable for 30-day episode costs, creating direct institutional demand for this data.OrthoSens generates revenue through three streams: sensor sales to orthopedic implant manufacturers (unlocking +$1,309 NTAP reimbursement per unit), a SaaS subscription capturing 40% of Medicare's $104/month RPM reimbursement per patient and post-market data analytics. The company has validated its technology across 3 functional prototypes, filed 2 core patents with favorable Freedom to Operate and secured $1.3M+ in non-dilutive funding. It is raising a $2.3M seed round to complete ISO-13485 certification, conduct the FDA pre-clinical study and file a 510(k) submission. The team is led by Gwenael Hannema (3x medtech founder), Dr. Oleg Kotsur (Head of R&D), and key employees, supported by experienced board members with leadership backgrounds at Novartis, Medtronic and J&J MedTech. | $188.6K / Grant / Nov 15, 2025 | ||
