www.longboatamniotics.com

Longboat Amniotics was born out of the discovery of novel stem cells in full term amniotic fluid. Research on these cells has demonstrated a number of unique properties in them, highlighting their extraordinary suitability for medical applications. These properties, in combination with safe collection, ethical agreeability, tissue specificity and high cell counts harbour the promise of the exciting journey we have started pushing medical boundaries.

The science and research behind the discoveries on which the company is based has been carried out within the realms of the reputable Lund University in southern Sweden, one of its prime research centers BMC (Bio Medical Center) Research Center, and the university hospital in Lund. Therefore Longboat Amniotics considers itself today to be uniquely positioned to translate stem cell technologies into novel and improved human therapeutics.

The ultimate vision is to contribute to the successful treatment of serious human diseases by providing the very best cells for various regenerative medical applications. The fact that our cells are of neonatal source (and safely retrieved from the amniotic fluid from C-sections) means that they have greater genome integrity. And also other positive attributes of the neonatal source of our cells we suggest will make them superior to traditional sources of stem cells that are currently in therapeutic use.

As part of Longboat Amniotics´ commitment to providing the best cell therapeutics we are developing these for treatments of orphan diseases with high unmet needs in collaboration with international renowend KOL and partners. In a nutshell, Longboat Amniotics has designed and built a complete eco system for managing these cells in a safe, secure and controlled manner, which they are now ready to expand and scale up. The  journey continues. Longboat Amniotics will push the boundaries of science within regenerative medicine to save and improve the lives of many.

www.soft-ox.com

SoftOx Solutions is a Scandinavian Medtech company established in 2012 with a mission to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges to human health – recalcitrant biofilm infections and antibiotic resistance. Their proprietary technology is a unique combination of antimicrobial agents with broad-spectrum activity and increased tissue tolerability. It effectively kills free-living bacteria and biofilms, which are aggregates of bacteria notorious for being highly resistant to antibiotics of all kind. It kills bacteria by targeting multiple microbial components, making it unlikely for bacteria to develop resistance to the technology or cross-resistance to other antibiotics.

In hospital or community settings, extensive amounts of antibiotics are used both systemically and topically without being able to eradicate biofilm infections. SoftOx is focused on developing our technology into clinically proven antimicrobials for topical application to prevent and control difficult-to-treat biofilm infections and to reduce inappropriate use of antibiotics and the emergence of antibiotic resistance. To achieve these goals, SoftOx has employed a competent team and established partnerships with expert scientists and clinicians from the University of Copenhagen and Bispebjerg Hospital in Denmark. Together this team is devoted to ensure successful clinical implementation of SoftOx’ products.

www.probi.se

Probiotics have been part of the human diet for millennia and are found naturally in foods like pickled cucumbers, olives, sauerkraut, salami, yoghurt and sour milk. Many probiotic bacteria belong to the Lactobacillus or Bifidobacteriumgenuses. These are harmless and occur naturally in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals.

BALANCED FLORA FOR GOOD HEALTH

The composition of the gastrointestinal microflora is very important to our health. Disturbing the balance between “good” and “bad” bacteria may cause health problems and serious diseases. Probiotics help to balance the intestinal flora, which can result in a healthier digestive system and a strong immune system. As knowledge increases about how a better diet can prevent future medical problems, so too does the interest in probiotics.

We invite you to learn more about our probiotics and the research that supports them.

The World Health Organization defines probiotics as “live micro-organisms which, when administered in sufficient amounts, confer a health benefit on the host”.

www.sidekickhealth.com
SidekickHealth was founded by two practicing physicians, Tryggvi “Thor” Thorgeirsson, M.D., MPH, and Saemundur “Sam” Oddsson, M.D., to predict and prevent lifestyle-related diseases. Recognizing that traditional methods of counseling for lifestyle change were not effective enough to bring about the massive shift needed to reverse the global epidemic of chronic illness, these two founders brought together a team of physicians, psychologists, public health scientists, biomedical engineers and game developers, and drew on the latest research from leading academic and medical institutions in the U.S. and Europe.

The result is SidekickHealth, a highly engaging, gamified service and app featuring programs for diet, physical activity and stress management. The platform is designed to reach those who are in greatest need of lifestyle change, including the 50 percent of adults who have low health literacy, and people with low motivation for lifestyle change. SidekickHealth also helps diabetes prevention programs and chronic disease management programs lower operational costs, improve outcomes and increase value-based reimbursements.
