HemaSense Lands $250K Grant to Advance Bleed Detection Tech

Arizona’s MedTech sector just got a boost. HemaSense , a Phoenix-based startup, has secured a$250,000 grant from the Arizona Commerce Authority and WearTech Applied Research Center to accelerate development of its real-time bleeding detection system for post-op recovery. Founded by Nathan Friedman and Benjamin Trapp , the funding will accelerate HemaSense’s mission: improving patient outcomes and reducing post-operative complications in minimally invasive procedures. HemaSense is building the first early alert system for bleeding complications at vascular access sites—starting with the femoral artery,a common site for catheter-based procedures. Their access site monitor detects early subcutaneous bleeding events in real time during patient recovery, allowing healthcare professionals to intervene sooner and more effectively. The device is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing recovery workflows and could lead to lower costs , faster recovery , and fewer readmissions .

As part of the grant, HemaSense will collaborate with Dr . Sandeep K . S . Gupta and the ASU Impact Lab , leveraging their expertise in AI/ML for medical wearables to enhance the monitor’s real-time detection engine. This is the kind of innovation we’re proud to see thrive here in Silicon Oasis. 📬 Have a story we should feature ? Email us at info@thesiliconoasis.org � � Want more stories like this ?
