Starting in the first quarter of 2023, SaliStick is expected to be available for purchase in several European countries, as well as South Africa, United Arab Emirates, and Israel. Salignostics is currently conducting discussions with various distributors in these territories. The kit has already been approved by the European CE certification and has received World’s first saliva-based pregnancy test set to arrive in stores in Europe, South Africa, and Israel in Q1-2023 Medical Devices and Accessories approval from Israel’s Ministry of Health. Salignostics has completed a 510(K) initial Q-submission of SaliStick to the FDA in the US. To support the commercialization of SaliStick, the company has established a new manufacturing facility in the Lavon Industrial Zone in Northern Israel with a monthly production capacity of 1 million units. SaliStick™ is the world’s only pregnancy home test that detects early pregnancy by saliva sampling instead of the known urine tests. With SaliStick, the test can be done anywhere and at any convenient time, with no need for a restroom. The test is very simple, easy to use, and delivers accurate results in no more than 10 minutes. According to the company’s Analysis, SaliStick is set to win significant market share due to its unique and innovative user experience.

NEWS • Sustainable alternative to squalene extracted from shark liver oil • Adjuvant component for parenteral drug delivery applications • Increases share of next-generation solutions at Evonik Evonik has launched a non-animal-derived squalene suitable for vaccines and other pharmaceutical applications. PhytoSquene® is the first known amaranth oil-derived squalene on the market for use in adjuvants in parenteral dosage forms. It meets the demand for a secure commercial supply of non-animal-derived squalene. NonGMP samples of PhytoSquene® are available immediately with GMP quality to follow in 2023. With the launch of PhytoSquene®, Evonik offers an alternative to animal-derived squalene, which for pharmaceutical applications is typically sourced from shark liver oil. Preserving biodiversity and ecosystems by reducing the need for animal-derived products is an important focus for Evonik and its life sciences division, Nutrition & Care. Nutrition & Care has formulated a clear vision to transform more than 70 percent of its portfolio in terms of revenue to next-generation solutions by 2032. Next-generation solutions are based on a thorough portfolio assessment and represent a superior sustainability benefit. “It is alarming that biodiversity across our planet is declining at a rapid rate. That’s why we are excited about empowering our customers to create products that preserve biodiversity and, at the same time, deliver high-quality treatments to patients,” said Thomas Riermeier, head of the Health Care business line at Evonik. PhytoSquene® is made from the oil of amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus) which is an herbaceous plant cultivated in many parts of the world. Being plant derived, PhytoSquene® ensures batch-to-batch consistency, quality and purity. It is compliant with European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) specifications and there is no risk of pathogenic transmission. PhytoSquene® is also a solution for patients who cannot use animal-derived products for cultural or religious reasons. PhytoSquene® is the latest of Evonik’s innovations to provide the market with sustainable, non-animal-derived solutions. Earlier this year, Evonik launched the pharma-grade, plant-derived cholesterol PhytoChol®. Squalene is a natural organic compound that is used as a component in some adjuvant systems. Adjuvants are additives that boost the body’s immune response to the active ingredient in a vaccine. They reduce the amount of active ingredient needed, thus making it faster and easier to scale vaccine production, and reducing the chance of any side effects in patients. As a partner to the pharmaceutical industry, Evonik Health Care has been a leader in advanced drug delivery for decades. It supports pharmaceutical companies worldwide with comprehensive services for developing and manufacturing complex parenteral and oral drug products. This includes pharmaceutical excipients such as polymers and lipids, formulation development and the manufacture of clinical samples, as well as commercial drug products. Evonik launches plant-based squalene to boost vaccine efficacy accurately detect a range of physiological circumstances including pregnancy and COVID-19 on the basis of simple saliva samples. Among other innovations, the company developed products to detect malaria, cardiac risk, Helicobacter pylori and other diseases. During development of the tests, the company raised pre-seed and seed capital from private investors and received four grants from the Israel Innovation Authority. The company has raised a total of $16 million to date, and is now raising additional funding to support sales, marketing, and R&D. “Saliva is the key to rapid diagnostics for a variety of medical reasons. It is the only noninvasive, easy, and hygienic means to detect hormones, viruses, and even diseases,” said Prof. Aaron Palmon, co-founder of Salignostics. “With SaliStick, we leverage the powerful diagnostics abilities we have been able to create from analyzing saliva. This product completely removes the need for blood and urine samples when testing for pregnancy.”

6 When we want to advance into bold new sectors of medicine, what should guide this progress? Nothing inspires the team at Elucent Medical like serving the needs of patients as it finds ways to treat them with the care, dignity, and respect they deserve. Their innovative mindset and commitment to people have seen them named Leading Stereotactic Surgical Navigation System Company, 2022 – USA, in GHP’s 2022’s Global Excellence Awards. We take a closer look at the firm in light of this success. Pushing Surgery Forward! he world of medicine must constantly move ahead to serve the needs of patients through new techniques and technologies. Evolution in healthcare must address unmet clinical needs through efficient and effective means. The team behind Elucent Medical has made it their mission to ensure that their innovative solutions suit the specific unmet needs of patients and physicians worldwide. The focus of Elucent Medical has been on delivering physicians the ability to return to the precise location of cancer for treatment with real-time surgical navigation. Based in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, the team targeted the various difficulties associated with breast cancer treatments. Breast cancer affects 1 in every 8 women, given there are 3.9 billion women worldwide breast cancer ranks second in leading cause of death for women. The patients who are faced with a breast cancer diagnosis, leading to a targeted surgical removal treatment are faced with a biopsy and localization done with image guidance. Most undergo an invasive image guided “hook-wire localization” procedure the morning of surgery to assist in locating the tumor which has been the standard of care since the 1970’s. Finding a less intrusive, less painful, and more precise manner of that not only replaced the need for a hook-wire but also enable surgical tools that provided real-time navigation to the surgeon for the exact location for targeted tissue was first and foremost in the minds of the Elucent Medical team. To this end, founders Laura King, Lee Gravatt Wilke MD, Fred T. Lee MD, and Dan van der Weide PhD, each brought diverse skills to the table, further enhanced by the talented Elucent Medical team. United under a common goal, the firm has been able to secure impressive success in pushing the boundaries of clinical medicine with innovative technology. Their incredible product, the EnVisio™ Navigation System, redefines wireless navigation to solve the unique challenge presented to them by medical professionals, namely, how to return to a precise location for intervention to deliver a therapy or excise targeted tissue. First-generation navigation technology employs optical “line of sight” concepts or wired solutions that use camera-tracked tools for navigation systems. The innovation behind Elucent Medicine wireless, real-time navigation uses the proprietary SmartClip™ placed inside the body. The SmartClip™ is then able to send its unique signature “voice,” which indicates precisely where the target specimen plus the desired margin of healthy tissue before the surgical intervention. This product is FDA-cleared to remain permanently implanted as a fiducial soft tissue marker should surgery be deemed unnecessary. It’s not just those with breast cancer who can benefit from this new approach. Stereotactic Surgical Navigation also opens the door to treating diseases in soft tissues that lack anatomic landmarks, such as the lung, lymph, and colon. The SmartClip™ introducer offers patients a painless and unintrusive solution. The location of the SmartClip™ technology enables the EnVisio™ System to navigate the surgeon back to the cancerous tissue. The design of the EnVisio platform is to enable hospitals and physicians to utilize commonly used surgical tools and equipment that integrates with the EnVisio product portfolio further empowering the healthcare team to deliver the very best work on behalf of patients. In cancer, precision matters, and the need for this exciting, innovative approach to surgery has long been overlooked by companies, with medical practitioners settling for old-fashioned techniques that get the job done but might not deliver the best outcome for the patients. The new perspective offered by Elucent Medical, inspired by remarkable technological advances, has shifted viewpoints showing the incorporation of surgical navigation platforms deliver improved patient outcomes. The EnVisio products bring this advancement to the breast cancer space. T Apr22247

With such triumphs behind them, it is clear that their success in the Global Excellence Awards is well deserved. We are excited to watch their growth.

9 GHP Q4 2022 Mental health has been in the media spotlight dozens of times over the past decade, with awareness increasing on a daily basis. However, there is still a great amount of work to be done – that’s where Focus 4-1, a lifesaving organisation, comes in. Most Innovative Mental Health User Led Organisation - Europe anessa Anenden has accomplished a lot in her life: she is a Master Neuro-Linguistic Practitioner with a BSc in Pharmacology, has worked as a Forensic DNA Trainer and Scientist, is a Mental Health First Aider, and much more. Vanessa also has lived experience of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, severe depression, and severe anxiety – experience that she uses to help others through her organisation, Focus 4-1, London’s first 100% user-led mental health organisation. Priding itself on its independent status, Focus 4-1 works with and is run by individuals living with mental health issues who are currently accessing or who have previously accessed mental health services. The aim is to encourage, enable, and empower these individuals to thrive and accomplish their goals, no matter what their diagnosis may be. After all, Vanessa firmly believes “that the best people to know what they need is the individuals living with mental health challenges themselves. By turning the current approach on its head, I believe this approach will give every individual living with mental distress a voice and help them empower each other, themselves, and other people.” The best way of gaining an understanding of mental health issues is, of course, by speaking about them, and Focus 4-1 puts the “expert by experience at the centre, not at the edge.” For far too long people dealing with mental health problems have been shunned, their voices taken away. This has only created a stigma surrounding mental illness, and as a result, many people dealing with such issues have felt ashamed or like they cannot access help as they’ll be turned away. Yet by creating a safe and accessible community, Focus 4-1 subverts this stigma, allowing people to express themselves without fear or judgement. Moreover, Focus 4-1’s work has had an even greater impact, becoming a pivotal meeting point for South West London and St. George’s Mental Health NHS Trust (SWLSTG NHS TRUST) to engage with its service users. This has led to the improved provision of mental health services, ward facilities, treatments, and aftercare with the home treatment team – meaning that Focus 4-1 has gone from becoming an important barometer on service quality to an important contributor, with this being further evidenced by SWLSTG awarding the organisation a primary care uplift contract. Focus 4-1 collaborates with each of its members for development and design projects, for which it holds focus groups and consistent ongoing discussions. As part of this development, the organisation is constantly reviewing and evolving its service offerings in response to feedback from both its members and public bodies, including the ICB and Mental Health Trust. This ensures that its services are reflective of the needs and desires of those it supports. In addition, Focus 4-1 strives to be transparent, confidential, and upfront, maintaining itself as a small and agile organisation. However, whilst the organisation has had numerous triumphs, it has also faced several challenges. As a Black and Asian led organisation funding has been one of the most significant hurdles for Focus 4-1, as it has often been inconsistent or comes with constraints, which, with the organisation’s growth, has been causing greater problems. Indeed, this issue was further amplified by the outbreak of Covid-19, and it took the horrifying death of George Floyd for funders to even consider the organisation. These challenges have neither defined nor hindered Focus 4-1, as its success can be measured by the number of members that are still with the group; since 2013, no member of Focus 4-1 has died by suicide.

10 GHP Q4 2022 Sleep is of great importance, especially for babies. They’re going through a rapid stage of development and such growth takes place when they’re sleeping – which is why a lack of sleep can cause a wealth of issues for both the baby and the parents.Therefore, companies like Serene Baby Sleep Consulting have been designed to get sleeping back on schedule, providing relief for all the family. Best Pediatric Sleep Consulting Company - California etting your baby to sleep can be a difficult task, especially during the sleep regression that takes place at around four months old. A lack of sleep can cause several issues – a grumpy or fussy baby, sleep deprivation, and even developmental delays. There is, however, a solution: sleep consultants can support both you and your child through their sleeping journey, providing you with helpful advice, tips, and tricks to ensure as little sleep disruption as possible for you and your child. Serene Baby Sleep Consulting is one such service, providing pediatric sleep consulting to parents in order to solve their child’s sleep issues through establishing lasting healthy sleeping habits via tried and tested scientific approaches. The company’s unique methodology is built around gentle yet highly effective strategies that aim to solve the root cause of the problem, and this is, quite simply, why Serene Baby Sleep Consulting has a 100% success rate. Moreover, the company largely works with babies aged between 0-36 months, with many of these clients joining Serene Baby Sleep Consulting through referrals from previous clients, collaborations, social media, and word of mouth, the latter of which the company notes as being ‘huge and priceless’ in terms of client acquisition. Whilst Serene Baby Sleep Consulting’s work speaks for itself, its clients’ testimonies certainly help. For example, one customer, named Kathy, writes, ‘I can’t believe that my baby is sleeping through the night. After 3 days of working with Ghislaine, our son began sleeping through the night. It felt so good that I asked my husband if we should check on the baby. I couldn’t believe that he can sleep through the night. Ghislaine was our sleep fairy. Highly recommended!!!!!’ Mentioned in the comment is the company’s Owner and Founder, Ghislaine Nnaji. A qualified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Newborn Care Specialist, and a Published Author of the book “A Nurturing Approach to Baby Sleep Training: A step-by-step guide for new moms”, Ghislaine boasts over ten years of experience in the field, helping countless babies to sleep through the night and providing relief to the parents. With two children of her own, Ghislaine knows first-hand the frustration and exhaustion that sleepless nights bring, and therefore, she is able to completely empathise with each and every client. Within her current position, Ghislaine manages a small team, who she describes as her rock, but this does not deter her from getting involved in every client’s journey. Serene Baby Sleep Consulting prioritises client-centricity, developing a culture that supports the family through every step. As such, the company’s mission can be described in three words: hopeful, helpful, and healthy – it instils hope for better sleeping habits, helps families reach their goals, and creates healthy and well-rested babies and parents. During the pandemic, the importance of the team was greater emphasised, as the demand for sleep training consulting increased tenfold. This is largely due to the rise in remote working and families spending more time confined in the same space. Whilst under normal circumstances Serene Baby Sleep Consulting would have fulfilled such services face-to-face, the pandemic and introduction of restrictions made this impossible, so the company had to adapt quickly. Serene Baby Sleep Consulting has had to become more innovative in how it offers its virtual services, as it is vital for the company to maintain the same standard and results. So far, this has been extremely effective, and has set Serene Baby Sleep Consulting up for an exciting future!

Of course, this comes with several benefits, as Jason Smith, Managing Director, explains, ‘As a second-generation family company, our knowledge is passed down – it stays within the family. This, coupled with the understanding of new business methods and technologies that arise from changing worlds, gives us a competitive advantage against others.’ This has been vital to the company’s success; however, its employees – the Bedfont Family – have also been integral to the company’s growth. Therefore, when hiring new employees, Bedfont Scientific Ltd. searches for individuals who are driven to innovate and induce change, and of course, they must be willing to invest in the company just as Bedfont Scientific Ltd. invests in them. In essence, Bedfont Scientific Ltd. takes pride in nurturing talent, offering a multitude of apprenticeship schemes and advanced training programmes that help it to specialise and grow new and existing departments. ‘The level of care and detail we put into our employees’ wellbeing and personal and professional progression has helped us have a low turnover of staff and low levels absence, but also gives us dedicated teams who are well trained and equipped to meet their goals, helping us to remain productive and profitable as a company,’ adds Jason. Prioritising this area of business was especially important in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, which posed as a potential threat to Bedfont Scientific Ltd.’s products, as Covid-19 spreads through the breath. Bedfont Scientific Ltd.’s breath testing procedures were allowed to continue as they are not classified as Aerosol Generating Procedures. The safety of such products – including bacterial and viral efficacy – was tested by Public Health England, with results determining the effectiveness of Bedfont Scientific Ltd.’s mouthpiece filters, ultimately finding that they filter out particles smaller than that of COVID-19, strengthening the safety of breath testing. ‘Additionally, we re-purposed our iCOquit Smokerlyzer to be used for healthcare professionals. The new iCOquit was adapted from the iCO following market feedback; it was initially designed as a personal device but due the demand from COVID-19 we brought production forward and it is now being used to help patients monitor their CO levels at home,’ Jason enthuses. Over the next few years, Bedfont Scientific Ltd. plans to continue developing its products, bolstering its growth, product ranges, and turnover. The company also vows to fulfil such developments in an eco-friendly manner. Sustainability is Bedfont Scientific Ltd.’s new focus, and it is currently reviewing all products, consumables, and packaging, but also making changes throughout production lines to reduce its climate impact. In terms of expansion, the company is setting its sights on the USA, as it has recently acquired FDA clearance for its NObreath FeNO monitor. Contact: Kristina Sedge Company: Bedfont Scientific Ltd.

15 GHP Q4 2022 Arterius’ added value is defined by its technologies, offering to the biggest and best players in each medical device industry sector to enhance the performance of their products. There are various beneficial aspects which capture a share of a very significant market: • The central problem with the first-generation biodegradable stents was their large strut size (both thickness and width), and rate of failure (due to fracture or heterogeneous strut resorption). Arterius has an opportunity to develop a range of biodegradable stents to address these unmet clinical issues which are capable of overturning the longstanding dominance of metal products. • The competition is unable to replicate the mechanical benefits achieved by Arterius’ manufacturing process without infringing Arterius’ patent, affording Arterius, a significant head-start in the race to commercialise a biodegradable stent. • The cardiovascular and vascular products market, comprise both large, highly mature indications and numerous immature high growth markets, including the China/Asia regional markets, which have lower barriers to entry relative to the potential economic returns. • The Arterius team has significant experience in the development of medical devices. The development team is supported by a consortium of experts comprising of a clinical advisory team, regulatory team, and well-known material scientists and engineers from academia. The company has also formed several collaborative relationships with academic, clinical research centres and commercial partners to explore its patented core technology of solid-phase orientation to enhance the biodegradable polymer stentsmechanical characteristics. As Chief Technical Director with over 40 years of research experience in biomaterial sciences, Kadem Al-Lamee has been involved in and managed a number of these collaborations with major medical devices, biotechnology companies and academics. His role at Arterius is to ensure that innovation is always the highest priority within the various projects, leading to business success. Arterius employs highly skilled staff within the fields of polymer chemistry, biomaterials sciences, biomedical engineering, regulatory and quality assurance. The extensive and varied experience of its staff in different applications of medical devices allows them to apply its technologies to clients’ devices in a very short period of time. Arterius is now very much focused on its future, where it has plans to develop a range of technologies to be applied onto peripheral vascular biodegradable stents and drug-coated balloon products which are very attractive to the largest and well-resourced medical device manufactures. The most recent development in the range of devices being used are drug-coated balloons (DCBs). DCBs were developed to reduce high restenosis rates, particularly in peripheral vessels but also to prevent coronary artery in-stent restenosis. The surface of these balloons carries antiproliferative/anti-thrombotic drugs that is delivered to the vessel wall when inflated. The drugs help prevent restenosis in a diseased vessel wall with significantly less drug passing into the blood stream, potentially reducing unforeseen adverse events, including mortality. Arterius Ltd. is a medical devices company which was established by Kadem Al-Lamee and Alistair Taylor in 2009. The company’s goalsaretoapplyitsadvancedandinnovative technologies of biomaterial science and engineering onto its clients’ products to enhance their device performances, ultimately resulting in greater patient benefit. Arterius has established a strong pre-clinical data package around next-generation fully biodegradable drug-eluting stents. A stent is a small mesh tube which is placed in a diseased artery to keep it open following a minimally invasive procedure to widen the blood vessel (also known as angioplasty). The clinical performance of stents depends on the following parameters: the mechanical and physical properties of the material utilised to produce the device, the device design, and the effectiveness of the drug incorporated into the device to prevent restenosis (re-narrowing). Although metal stent technologies have been evolving for decades with claims based on improved outcome due to the advancement of these parameters, there are fundamental problems with inserting (and leaving) a permanent implant in a blood vessel. These problems manifest months or even years following the procedure in the form of thrombosis, lumen re-narrowing, chronic local inflammatory reactions, mechanical behaviour mismatch between stented and non-stented vessel, and may also reduce options for future (needed) interventions. While these events are relatively rare, the widespread use of metal stents places an unacceptable burden of morbidity and mortality on doctors. Following stent implantation, the need for vessel scaffolding and drug delivery are only temporarily (6-12 months) required until the arterial remodelling, and healing is completed. Therefore, the first-generation biodegradable (polymer based) stents were developed to provide comparable mechanical support for long enough to prevent restenosis of the diseased arteries, before disappearing once their job is done. However, the larger physical dimensions (stent strut thickness higher than 120-micron) of these biodegradable stents, the low tensile strength, and the low radial strength, have resulted in other, unforeseen consequences, in the form of slightly higher rates of thrombosis and difficulty with stent implantation. High tensile strength material helps to achieve a stent with high radial strength and thinner struts to improve trackability, flexibility, and deliverability to smaller vessels. Hence, Arterius has developed a novel low-cost manufacturing process which enables the production of the next-generation high tensile strength polymeric biodegradable stents with the lowest strut thickness (95-micron) comparable to the best-in-class commercially available metal products.

16 The future of healthcare is in how we leverage technology. Since 2015, the team at Implantica has been developing a broad patent-protected product portfolio and pipeline primarily based on two platform technologies. With innovation and entrepreneurial success at the core of the firm, it’s little wonder we’re recognising their achievements in GHP’s Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards 2022, where they were named Most Innovative MedTech Company - Central Europe The journey to Implantica starts with Dr. Peter Forsell. He’s the firm’s founder, principal shareholder, CEO, a world-renowned specialist surgeon and inventor of most of Implantica’s product pipeline. He is always on the lookout for how fresh ideas and new innovations can serve to improve patient care and drive the business forward. Dr. Forsell has an excellent track record for successfully launching medical devices into the marketspace. His development of the adjustable gastric band led the way for new innovations, as it took 28% of the global market, excluding the US. Implantica is his latest business, one which is looking to move advanced technology into the body with the bold ambition to potentially transform care for millions of patients around the world. Healthcare is an expensive business, that will be revolutionised by technology in the years to come. Implantica stands at the forefront of that revolution, with almost 2,000 innovative patents in key markets around the world. Most eHealth technologies are focused primarily on gathering information from outside the body, but Implantica’s unique eHealth platform e-InVivo is designed to change treatment from distance, monitor various health parameters, deliver information to the caregiver and control treatment, all from inside the body. The eHealth technology platform was the basis for discovering not only how existing treatments could be improved but also developing new treatment options often previously seen as unachievable. Thanks to these improved technological advancements and treatment approach, the Implantica team has been able to drive unimagined innovation and create almost endless potential for improving healthcare. Such incredible achievements have been the result of a combination of Dr. Peter Forsell’s surgical and medical expertise, his experience gained from running successful medical implant businesses and strategic decision making. He led a talented team of 70 engineers to analyse the over 300 individual inventions which he had created in many treatment fields before 40 implant candidates were selected. This took eight years of development but has put Implantica in an incredible position. Implantica’s diverse medical technology patent portfolio is carefully designed to address large unmet medical/patient needs as well as to improve quality of life. Often specific disease areas have been underserved for many years, with severe consequences for patients and the healthcare system. By developing specific solutions focused on these areas, the team has ensured that their products will have the maximum impact on society at large. Implantica’s incredible innovations have proven immensely popular with the public, who are the ultimate beneficiaries of what they offer. It is, however, medical surgeons and professionals who need proven solutions to treat medical conditions. These medical professionals are often looking for new solutions that can transform their patients’ lives and are willing to explore stateof-the-art technology to better their patients’ health and wellbeing. Implantica’s products have the potential to revolutionise someone’s quality of life, especially those who might feel there is no treatment solution and no way forward at all. At the heart of much of what the team has been working on recently are two platform technologies. These take the form of an eHealth platform designed to monitor a broad range of health parameters, control treatment from outside the body, communicate to the caregiver on distance and remotely adjust treatment. Furthermore, a wireless energising platform has been developed, designed to power remote-controlled implants wirelessly through intact skin. It’s little wonder that the team is fiercely protective of their patents, having filed comprehensively with regards to this innovative platform technology. The team’s IP portfolio has grown significantly over the past few months, covering not only the eHealth platform in general, but extending the scope and term of patent protection for the pipeline products. As the industry continues to expand, the Implantica team and technology have secured their place at the heart of it. Moving forward, however, will depend on the successes of products already on the market or currently under development. The team’s research over the last few years has been focused on two treatment areas, gastrointestinal surgery and urology. Many people suffer from Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which causes stomach acid to repeatedly flow back into the oesophagus, the tube-like organ connecting the mouth and stomach. More than one billion of the world’s population is affected by GERD, with 400 million suffering every day. Continued patient suffering, speaks of the highly ineffective nature of current treatment options for a large number of patients. RefluxStop by Implantica is the first treatment of its kind, an implantable device that will treat the root cause of acid reflux. This Jul22600 Healthcare Of Tomorrow
