The Model G Patient Gown from Edison Award finalist the Henry Ford Innovation Institute delivers full patient coverage
The Henry Ford Model G Hospital gown completely closes in both the front and back, and can be used for inpatient stays and medical testing, including MRI and CT scans. Instead of the unwieldy, uncomfortable ties in the back, the gown instead implements adjustable snaps on the front and shoulders, and can easily be adjusted in size from medium to extra-large. The design allows for easy accessibility for IV's.
When Henry Ford Hospital heard that Edison Awards Program Manager, Jessica, was expecting her first baby this spring, they sent her a Model G Patient Gown to wear. More

The Patient Safety Movement
Edison Awards finalist IVEA provides a safe solution for patient mobility
How is it that myriad advancements have transformed modern healthcare in the last 50 years, yet some of the equipment and practices most closely tied to patient outcomes have remained essentially unchanged?
That's the question we asked when we began to develop the IVEA. While other companies have made incremental improvements to old, inefficient designs, we started from scratch-using clinical input to create a new standard in patient care. The result is a marriage of form and function superior in every respect to what came before. More

Brain Power
Edison Awards finalist AnthroTronix delivers comprehensive cognitive testing with DANA
The cost of treating Americans who suffer from mTBI, concussion, depression, mental illness, MS, Parkinson's disease, and other brain-health conditions tops $345M+ annually. And millions more cases are undiagnosed or misdiagnosed each year.
In just five minutes, a DANA software screen uncovers signs of changes in cognitive efficiency. A second, 15-minute DANA screen generates a report that also includes behavioral data such as insomnia, fatigue, and depression. Such data are considered key factors in assessing, managing and monitoring conditions impacted by brain health. If more brain health data is needed, additional neurobehavioral test batteries may be administered via a third, 45-minute testing protocol. More
