With my co-founder Jamie, we raised $10M and built a 20 person team to create Gocap platform to support people using injectable medicine (insulin, fertility hormone, and human growth hormone).
Gocap provides an easy way to track time of dose and dose amount with plastic disposable injector pen, from which 100's of millions are manufactured each year. That information can be used to support doctors and other care providers in their jobs.
The core technology is a patented optical signature matching technology with machine learning and runs on an inexpensive optical device using off-the-shelf components.
The project is still being developed and integrated into projects run by three other major companies that acquired licenses and assets in 2019: Bigfoot BioMedical, Haselmeier, and an undisclosed pharmaceutical company.
One of the biggest joys and challenges of working at Common Sensing was building out an amazing team and work culture - here's a picture of our team from 2017!
A mechanical view of how the circuit boards and injection molded plastics come together.
Created insulin and blood glucose logging apps on the app store and Google Play store.
Many iterations of clinical applications focused on getting patients the right prescription of insulin based on insulin and blood glucose data feedback. We ran dozens of user experience studies, an observational clinical study, and designed an interventional clinical trial.
Uses infrared LEDs to shine light through the barrel of the injector pen to photodiode receivers on the other side. This is a raytracing cross section of the cap + pen system.
