AlephBot Israel

AlephBot is developing a new paradigm in healthcare, the procedure monitor.
The solution helps medical teams maximize treatment efficiency during and after medical procedures (e.g., resuscitation, labor, general anesthesia). It provides the team members with valuable real-time information that is adaptive to their actions and to the procedure’s stage, even if they are under pressure or can’t recall procedure steps by heart. AlephBot also automatically documents the medical procedure, which serves for both medical education and medico-legal purposes.

** AlephBot uniqueness **
We capture the human perspective of a procedure by analyzing the relevant info from the on-going structural medical conversation. We add this layer to the data collected from other sources.
Therefore, we gain higher accuracy of the analyzed medical situation, which enables us to identify the procedure stage and provide meaningful info, in real-time.

** Status **
AlephBot is developing its core technology. The company, pre-seed funded, was selected to the DRIVE accelerator at the Technion (Israel institute of Technology), and received grants from the Israel Innovation Authority.
AlephBot cooperates with big and small hospitals from day one. This serves our intention to increase treatment efficiency both in mega-hospitals in big cities and in smaller ones in the periphery and rural areas.

AlephBot is active in its target markets (Germany, France, Italy and the US) and won several national and international (France, Germany, Denmark) events and competitions. The company is still not active in China - an opportunity!

** Next steps **
We are currently looking for seed investment to finalize our core technology development and bring the product to clinical trial stage in two years. Sales are planned in three years, post regulation clearance.

Plan in China
We see great potential in using AlephBot in China, as it could help with the following challenges:* Increase rural medicine level, supporting medical caregivers in rural areas during treatment (caregivers are with limited knowledge, not up-to-date). * Increase treatment efficiency in big hospitals of big cities. These are high-standard hospitals, that use “state of the art” solutions like AlephBot, for better treatment, cost saving and patient satisfaction.

Genervon Biopharmaceuticals United States

There is a high unmet need for central nervous system (CNS) diseases in the growing aging population. Genervon is bringing GM6, a new clinical-stage drug asset, to regulatory approval and commercialization in China for CNS diseases including Parkinson’s disease (PD), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and other neurodegenerative diseases. Most clinical trials for drugs developed through the traditional single-target drug approach have failed to treat the complex neurological disorders that involve multiple interrelated pathways. GM6 is neither an antibody nor a single-target agonist or antagonist. It is a pleiotropic regulator which simultaneously regulates multiple pathological pathways. Genervon has validated GM6’s target engagement of multiple targets and druggability. GM6 has been de-risked for toxicity in animal studies and safety in three clinical trials. IND documents filed with the FDA can be used to support regulatory filing in China for clinical trials. Genervon is interested to partner through licensing or merger and acquisition. 
Genervon Biopharmaceuticals discovered an endogenous embryonic-stage regulator, Motoneuronotrophic Factor (MNTF), and developed from it the pleiotropic drug GM6. Chronic inflammation is associated with a broad spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases related to aging. GM6 simultaneously modulates multiple biological mechanisms (MOA) in the CNS and immune system to increase neurogenesis and lower inflammation. The MOAs include oxidative Stress, protein aggregation, kinase dysfunction, cholinergic signaling, extracellular matrix stability, and intrinsic apoptosis. GM6 reduces Beta Amyloid and phosphorylated tau in AD, reduces SOD1 in ALS, and reduces inflammation in animal models. GM6 passes through the blood-brain barrier and has good drug-like properties. GM6 has been studied in a Phase 1 and two Phase 2A trials and was shown to be safe and tolerable with positive clinical outcomes and favorable shifts in biomarkers SOD1, Tau and TDP43 in patients. A complete CMC package is ready for technology transfer.

maintect GmbH Germany

maintect GmbH was founded 2018 in collaboration with Mainz University Medical Center Germany by ophthalmological scientists.
maintect is developing an innovative antibody treatment for a new target instead of the well-known VEGF in wAMD (wet age-related-macular-degeneration, one of the most frequent causes of blindness). This new antibody will help the patients who don’t benefit from anti-VEGF treatment and all others. maintect applied already for patent in several countries. Combination with anti-VEGF is also an option. In parallel, the company is developing a companion diagnostic kit using lateral flow assays for anti-VEGF treatment in wAMD. This test will determine which patients will benefit most from the new treatment and will facilitate the market entrance. Furthermore, the company is interested in contract research and collaborations in building diagnostic kits.
