2021-2022 Pilot Cohort

Faro Gardens

Faro Gardens aims to tackle many of the existing issues with modern agricultural practices. We utilize hydroponic technology to grow produce in optimized indoor environments. These indoor environments will allow us to grow crops year-round in urban areas, providing consumers with access to fresher, safer, and better-tasting produce.

Bionomic

Our proposal is to provide outpatient monitoring through a wearable device. This device can be used to store vital information from the patient when admission is not possible or necessary. We hope that this device can be used in remote/isolated locations where there is a lack of medical care available as well as when patients cannot afford to stay at hospitals for additional monitoring. With this device, medical professionals would be able to monitor patient symptoms remotely. We are currently focused on creating a wearable device for stroke detection for vulnerable patients.
