LSI's Medtech Startup Tracker is focused exclusively on covering the privately-held innovators changing the medical device landscape.  

Rhaeos – developing a non-invasive, wearable shunt monitor

The company is currently developing FlowSense, a wireless, non-invasive wearable that is placed over a patient’s shunt to monitor the buildup of cerebrospinal fluid and prevent hydrocephalus. The device is intended to help healthcare providers monitor shunt function and reduce unnecessary healthcare expenditures (e.g. readmission costs, hospital length of stay). Key strategics in the shunt therapy market include Aesculap, Integra LifeSciences, and Medtronic.
