2 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.
4Nexense 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
5Nexense 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
6Nexense 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,
7Example- 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.

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)

- Level of development - fully developed
- Price Ex Nexense- 500
10Night Watch Function
11Clinical 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.

16Core 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. -

17How 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
