Nexense
  • Privately-owned company partly held by GE
    Healthcare.
  • Founded in 2001 as a result of quantum leap in
    measurement technologies.
  • Conducted projects for Fortune 500 companies
    including Samsung, Ford, General Motors, Johnson
    Johnson.
  • Developed working products based on its advanced
    technology.
  • Holds four core patents (Top rated by Taeus),
    with over 60 patents applications.

3
Technology Philosophy
  • Nexense developed a unique sensors platform
    capable of measuring most physical parameters
    close to molecular precision with signal to noise
    ratio that exceeds the state of the art.
  • This level of accuracy enables to identify, sense
    and measure almost any parameter in different
    sites reliably and without any touch.
  • The sensors platform was evaluated and defined as
    a highly promising and working technology by
    Exponent, Taues and GE due diligence team.
  • Nexense has already launched medical system
    designed to treat snoring based on the
    technology.

Nexense Medical Developments
  • Night Watch- treats snoring. 75 reduction in
    snoring according to clinical studies.
  • Night Watch (Plus) - treat sleep apnea. Can
    serve as sleep lab rotary.
  • Baby Watch - prevents SIDS threat, bradycardia
    and fever Monitoring
  • Fetal Watch- home use monitoring of fetal
    development
  • Asthma Watch - early detection of an asthma
    attack and medication management
  • Emergency Watch - for monitoring vital signs
    during sleep with emergency call support
  • Non Invasive Sugar evaluation evaluating Sugar
    level in blood non invasively.
  • Other Applications

5
Nexense Developments
  • Torque Sensor-Measure torque with superior
    precision to enable vehicles to increase fuel
    efficiency and reduce emissions
  • Rain Sensor-Improved rain detection without the
    miscues caused by leaves and sudden changes of
    light
  • Forgotten child alert for automobiles-detect
    vital signs in a switched off vehicle and trigger
    an alarm, i.e. open windows, etc.
  • Seat occupancy for smart airbag
    deployment-Distinguish human presence from dead
    weight in a car seat
  • Temperature Sensor
  • Pressure Sensor
  • Load Cell
  • Flow Meter
  • Others

Nexense cell phone applications
  • Nexense sensing platform can be useful for
    long distance
  • Identifying of a user according to predetermined
    features.
  • Monitoring of blood pressure
  • Monitoring of breath, movement and heart beats.
  • Early detection of asthma
  • Non invasively evaluation of the level of sugar
    in blood
  • Child Well Being Monitoring
  • The most valuable and exclusive application
    is the monitoring of vital signs using under the
    mattresses sensors. The cellular phone can
    replace the need for human call and send these
    accurate signs to a call center or to the user
    family,

7
Example- Cellular application for Vital Signs
Monitoring
  • A passive sensor is placed under the mattress
    or in the area of the user.
  • The sensor detects heart beats, movement and
    breathing patterns.
  • The data is sent to the users cell phone
    according to any specifications, through blue
    tooth or cables and through the cell phone to any
    third party.
  • This application can be useful for monitoring
    vital signs, evaluating physical condition and
    for other applications where vital signs are
    required.

Night Watch (Extreme- for Sleep Apnea)
  • Function -Treats sleep apnea using 3N bio
    feedback.
  • Market -3-4 of population, 12,000,000 People in
    US.
  • Excepted demand - 2,500 units per 10,000,000
    people.
  • Competition - CPAP (750-3,000)
  • Clinical Studies Dr blonder study
  • Level of development - fully developed
  • Price Ex Nexense- 500

Clinical Studies Results (Night Watch)
  • Comprehensive Clinical studies that we have
    conducted show that using Night Watch
    significantly decreases users snoring activity
    as shown in the presented diagrams.
  • In addition, due to the biofeedback effect, even
    after a user stops to use Night Watch, his/her
    snoring activity remains low comparing to his/her
    snoring level before using Night Watch.
  • Preliminary study indicates that Night Watch
    (extreme) treats effectively sleep apnea. The
    sleep apnea and hypopnea decreased significantly
    as well as by decreasing desaturation.

Core Technology Features
  • One common platform is used for most physical
    measurements
  • Measuring most physical parameter having a known
    relation to the propagation time of movement of
    an energy wave through a given medium
  • Produces measurements in a direct digital format,
    eliminating the need to convert from analog and
    thus maintaining extreme accuracy with regard to
    the actual values being measured
  • The method enables an extremely high signal to
    noise ratio that enables less mathematic analysis
    and more close to the physics Results.

How we measure?
Click for white paper
  • Time to Frequency Conversion

1) Transmitting cyclically-repeating ultrasonic
wave from exciter to receiver through liquid
within the sensor 2) A predetermined reference
point is detected in the energy wave at the
receiver 3) A distance change will create a
change of frequency at the receiver 4) This
change in frequency is used to produce a
measurement of the physical parameter 5) The
resolution can get to 110,000,000 or about 0.1Hz
for 1MHz measured frequency, when using 1nsec
clock 10msec time, resolution is 1100,000,000
