ApplySci - Deep Tech Health + NeurotechLively is an in-home sensor network for connecting elderly loved ones to their families. The system combines a series of wireless sensors, a data-collection hub and biweekly printed mailers that serve as kind of an analog social network. The basic setup measures medication compliance, food and drink intake and general activity outside the home.
Lively is crowdfunding on Kickstarter, with a goal of $100,000.
Startup Interaxon has announced that it will ship a $199 headset called the Muse next spring. It will let people use their brainwaves to directly control videogames and other computing operations.
ApplySci is a peer-reviewed crowdfunding platform for scientific and medical research. It is also a virtual incubator, nurturing researchers from the early stages of funding through product commercialization. Its founders are experienced scientists, noted academics, entrepreneurs, and investors. Our mission is to improve our world by advancing and applying science.
The goal of ApplySci is to fund research through the support of individual donors. We also recognize that the needs of early stage companies go well beyond initial funding. To address these needs, ApplySci is creating an ecosystem of project advisors, mentors, lawyers, accountants, angel investors and venture capitalists to help scientists commercialize their research.
