SUMMARY:WA MTP Sector Spotlight on Cortical Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to a fireside chat with Perth-based Cortical Dynamic’s Ashley Zimpel & Dr Sunil Belur Nagaraj at our next Spotlight event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur monthly event series is an opportunity for representatives from across the MTP sector to connect\, collaborate and learn about upcoming opportunities\, and hear the stories and successes of WA organisations developing health and medical innovations. Join us for networking and conversation over light refreshments afterwards. \nFind out more about medical device company Cortical Dynamic’s journey developing its flagship product\, Brain Anaesthesia Response Monitor (“BARM™”)\, the next generation medical brain monitor. Its medical brain monitoring technology is capable of measuring both levels of unconsciousness and pain\, which can be used to better detect the effect of anaesthetic agents on a patient’s brain activities and aid anaesthetists in keeping patients optimally medicated. The BARM™ devices have been supplied worldwide to 12 hospitals for trials and evaluation. \nAbout Cortical Dynamics \nCortical Dynamics is developing the Brain Anaesthesia Response Monitor (“BARM™”)\, the next generation medical brain capable of measuring both levels of unconsciousness and pain. \nBARM™ has been developed with the objective of better detecting the effect of anaesthetic agents on brain activity\, aiding anaesthetists to accomplish the fundamental goal of rendering the patient optimally unconscious and immune to pain. BARM™ is based on innovative developments in how the brain’s rhythmic electrical activity\, EEG\, is interpreted and analysed. This approach produces indices directly related to the physiological state of the brain. This medical device is FDA 510 (k)\, CE\, TGA\, Korean MFDS approved. \nNotably\, Cortical Dynamics was awarded funding and commercialisation support through the BioMedTech Horizons (BMTH) accelerator program. Delivered by MTPConnect\, the Australian Government’s $45 million BMTH program was a Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) initiative to support innovative collaborative health technologies\, drive discoveries towards proof-of-concept and commercialisation that address key health challenges as well as maximise entrepreneurship and idea potential. \nAbout our speakers \nAshley Zimpel – Chief Executive Officer \nMr Ashley Zimpel is an experienced public and private company entrepreneur and director.

SUMMARY:Accelerating sports technology & innovation in WA
DESCRIPTION:This panel session explores the theme of accelerating sports technology innovation in Australia (and more specifically WA)\, with a focus on funding and support programs for startups. \nAustralia has developed one of the leading sports innovation ecosystems in the world – from world-class facilities and major sports events\, to leading sports science\, sports systems & pathway programs. Despite this\, Australia’s sportstech investment market has historically been immature\, meaning that capital raising and support for startups have been challenging and often opportunistic. However\, the landscape is changing. In the last few years the industry is starting to attract a pool of sophisticated investors\, there has been the emergence startup programs that better cater for the specific needs of the sportstech and health tech sectors\, and government is taking a greater lead on supporting local startup communities. \nIn the panel session we will hear insights from key stakeholders supporting the next-generation of innovators – from experienced early-stage investors\, startup program leads\, government\, researchers to founders that have raised investment. We will also explore the emergence of Western Australia’s early-stage investment funding landscape and hear from key stakeholders leading the local eco-system. \nPanel Members:\n* Derek Gerrard – Director at Purpose Ventures\n* Oliver Bazzanni – Mentor / Investor at Startmate & Program Designer at Australian Clinical Entrepreneur Program\n* Will Poot – Co-Founder at Omni Biotech\n* Sandra Draper – Manager Innovation\, Department of Jobs\, Tourism\, Science & Innovation at State Government of Western Australia \nModerator – Craig Hill – Co-Founder at Australian Sports Technologies Network & Advisor in ASTN Accelerator and ASTN-GSIC Pre-Accelerator Programs \n
