The Company

Our Mission

We aim to provide forensic and social justice workers with an accurate, portable, and non-invasive solution to quantitatively measure the story of a bruise, with an emphasis on overcoming racial disparities by ensuring effectiveness across all skin tones.


Building Traction with Time

Over the years, our team:
  • received IRB approval for pre-clinical imaging in collaboration with the UCI Trauma Center;
  • secured over $73k in pre-seed funding; and
  • completed over 60 customer discovery interviews across law enforcement, healthcare, and abuse shelters.
We have participated in the Northwest Regional NSF I-CORPS, earned top placements in university-level and international competitions, and our technology is patent pending.

As we continue to validate and refine our product, our team is fully committed to the science and the impact of our mission, and we hope that you will join us in our journey.

Acknowledgements

Since the beginning, we have had the luxury of being supported by a wide network of students, mentors, and organizations. Although we are unable to acknowledge each and every person by name, we are eternally grateful for your shared knowledge, advice, and commitment. Thank you for being a part of our story.

We want to highlight our clinical partners, specifically Nicholas Truong and Glen Nie, who were clinical research associates under Dr. Jeffry Nahmias at the UCI Trauma Center. These two gentlemen were with us from the start of our clinical work, and were the backbone of our data collection procedures and guidelines. We cannot thank these two enough for their time and excitement with our work, and for making our preclinical dreams a true dataset.

We also want to thank the many volunteers in that preclinical study, who took time out of their care to contribute to a longstanding mission. We are extremely grateful for their time and contributions to our work.

We also want to thank the staff at the Beckman Laser Institute, the UCI IRB board, and the BEAMS Lab, who helped us tremendously with the paperwork and logistics behind the clinical protocols and regulations.
