💡 Real problems. Big innovation. Happening at 1819.

Backed by the UC Technology Transfer & Commercialization Department and Venture Lab Cohort team, Sense Neuro Diagnostics is tackling a critical challenge: there’s currently no way to detect strokes or brain injuries in real time in the field.

With non-invasive, portable brain scanners that assess and monitor patients instantly, this device gives doctors, first responders and coaches real-time insight when it matters most. 🧠

This technology has the potential to transform military, sports and clinical settings, backed by significant support from the Department of Defense and FDA submissions.

It’s incredible to see the team turn real problems into big innovations that can make a difference in people’s lives. We’re honored to be part of their journey!

A new episode of Undisciplined by Design is out now! 🎙️

In this conversation, Aaron Bradley and Maxwell Kemats sit down with Lyn Jeffrey from the Institute for the Future to explore why foresight is becoming a critical skill in a world defined by uncertainty.

They break down how small signals in everyday life can reveal major shifts ahead, and why innovation isn’t just about reacting to change, but learning how to anticipate and shape it.

This episode reframes foresight as a practical skill and explores how organizations are already utilizing it to unlock new possibilities.
