Lo que hace Zeit Medical

Zeit Medical leverages the power of AI and wearable sensors to deliver peace of mind for those affected by stroke. Zeit’s smart headband immediately detects the onset of stroke and notifies 911. Each year more than 90% of the one million strokes in the US go untreated, resulting in life-long disability and exploding medical costs north of $100b. The lack of timely treatment is the result of delays in alerting the emergency services. More than 10 million Americans with an elevated stroke risk live with constant fear that a stroke may go unnoticed for hours, while they are asleep or alone. The company was founded by Orestis Vardoulis PhD a biomedical & mechanical engineer and expert in digital health (EPFL/Stanford) and Urs Naber MD a critical care physician (Dartmouth/Stanford). They have both seen the devastating effects of stroke in their families and came up with the idea of addressing this unmet clinical need during their Stanford Biodesign Innovation Fellowship.

Immediate stroke detection at home

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building a smart headband that detects strokes as soon as they start, especially when the person is alone or asleep. It uses AI with wearable sensors to monitor for signs of stroke and automatically alerts 911. The goal is to reduce the current delays that cause millions of strokes to go untreated every year.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We currently live and work in Redwood City, CA, and would continue to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We live in Redwood City because it's close to Stanford, where we met during the Biodesign Innovation Fellowship. It's a hub for medtech and AI talent, which fits our domain and helps us access resources and partners.
