RoddyMedical was a finalist in the 2021 Governor’s Business Plan Contest.
This 10-day program, hosted by Mayo Clinic and Arizona State University, gives participating companies the opportunity to connect with global leaders in health care and business. The latest cohort was held March 18-28.
“Being selected as one of ten cohort companies … means that our patient-centric approach to improving clinical safety and patient outcomes and saving lives with the SecureMove-TLC is being recognized by leading healthcare institutions,” COO and co-founder Pat Deno said in a statement.
This wearable device is designed to secure medical tubes, lines and cords to reduce the likelihood of patient injuries caused by snags or other safety issues. It can handle more than 80 pounds of pulling force, according to an overview on the MedTech Accelerator’s website.
The program included “intense days” of meetings with high-level executives across the medical industry, from health research to quality assurance and more, Deno said.
“It was an absolutely fantastic experience for us as a startup,” she said today in an interview.
RoddyMedical received the Audience Choice award during a pitch contest element of the program on March 27.
Lindsey Roddy, the company’s CEO and founder, said she looks forward to strengthening its network and expertise with help from Mayo Clinic and ASU while continuing to develop the business.
“Having the opportunity to attend the MedTech Accelerator program and create lasting relationships with others who have been on a journey similar to ours has already been transformative for our business,” she said.
And while the accelerator has finished, Deno notes the company is now moving ahead with a product trial at Mayo Clinic, along with other ongoing research collaborations sparked through the program.
