Madison-based medtech company CranioSure is the winner of this year’s Wisconsin Governor’s Business Plan Contest.
The startup, founded by Dr. Daniel Cho, has designed a mobile app that screens infant head shapes and can detect craniosynostosis early enough to avoid the need for surgery. Cho is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madsion. He specializes in adult and pediatric plastic surgery.
Designed by a team that included craniofacial plastic surgeons, the CranioSure app can detect the premature fusion of infant skull bones. The app’s algorithm can spot abnormalities with more specificity and sensitivity than physical exams. Once fully developed, the app will become available to pediatricians and parents.
