People who have a hearing loss greater than 90dB are guided to use cochlear implant instead of hearing aids to restore hearing.Our goal is toexpand the cochlear implant market globally. Because of the high price, cochlear implants are usually consumed in the developed countries such as North America and Europe. However, majority of the hearing-impaired population currently resides in the developing or underdeveloped countries where people cannot afford the benefit of the cochlear implant. This high price of the cochlear implant is mostly due to the manual method of manufacturing the neural electrodes.To replace the conventional manual fabrication method, TODOC has developed automated micro-machining electrode manufacturing processes at only 1/10 of conventional manufacturing cost of electrode, as well as the cochlear implant system. The automated electrode manufacturing processes can offer higher capacities for a wider range of sounds to the hearing impaired than conventional ones.TODOC aims to become a global leader in the Brain-Machine Interface field based on its superior Neural Interface Technology.

- Mediwhale — Medi Whale seeks to achieve sustainable healthcare where every eye can truly be the window to one’s health with our world's first-of-its-kind 1-stop AI screening platform solution for cardiovascular, renal, metabolic risk assessment, and eye disease diagnosis. Our AI Platform was developed through several clinical collaborations (Korea,Singapore, India, UK, and other European datasets) using structured longitudinal event-based datasets for the development of our retinal biomarker engines. RetiCVD® (cardiovascular disease risk assessment): Developed using coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, CAC is recognized as the gold standard for precise CVD risk calculation. Our CVD engine predicts the presence of CAC and provides a stratified probabilistic risk based on US ASCVD and EU SCORE guidelines.RetiCKD® (chronic kidney disease risk assessment): Developed using eGFR and full lab panel, our CKD engine has been demonstrated to achieve better predictive capability as compared to eGFR or full panel analysis.RetiEYE®: Referable Eye Disease engine detects and flags common aging-related eye modalities such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and cataract at its referable disease state.Medi Whale retinal-based systemic biomarkers have been clinically demonstrated to be non-inferior to current gold standards and are recognized by clinical and scientific communities with two Lancet Digital Health publications.
