Founded in 2011 by SQUID magnetometer specialist Alexander Bakharev, Mesuron Inc. develops and fabricates magnetic-sensing systems for heart screening, led by its Avalon-H90 magnetocardiograph. The Latham company’s distinctive approach combines contactless, three-dimensional heart measurements with noise-cancellation technology that allows operation in ordinary hospital environments without a magnetically shielded room or liquid-helium cryostat. Its roughly 90-second scans are designed to help clinicians assess ventricular repolarization abnormalities at rest.
PinMed IncPinMed develops high-fidelity cardiovascular monitoring systems and personalized software for clinicians, researchers, and health consumers working in demanding environments. Its flagship PELEX platform is a pocket-size, FDA-cleared diagnostic 12-lead ECG system that also supports ambulatory monitoring and wireless data transmission. The company also provides integrated research systems and custom solutions, including monitoring designed for MRI- and X-ray-guided procedures, and has been recognized with a National Innovation Award.PITTSBURGH, PA
QDSENSEAs a Morgan State University spin-out founded by Dr. Birol Ozturk, QDSENSE develops compact NV-diamond quantum sensors for portable magnetic-field measurement and brain imaging. Its CQS devices are battery-operated prototypes for field use, while the DMEG platform uses room-temperature diamond sensing to pursue practical, scalable detection of brain signals without cryogenic cooling. The company combines optically detected magnetic resonance with machine-learning inference to extract vector field information from compact devices.COLUMBIA, MD
Innovative Instrumentation IncorporatedFrom Horsham, Pennsylvania, Innovative Instrumentation Incorporated built non-destructive magnetic characterization equipment for the magnetic recording industry from 1987 to 2007. Its patented magnetometers and automated measurement systems were designed to deliver reliable, accurate results without operator adjustments, including the RMM, which became a major tool for mapping remanent properties of disks and MR-head wafers. The company developed its instruments in response to customer measurement challenges before changes in the recording industry led it to close.HORSHAM, PA
Weinberg Medical PhysicsFounded in 2008, Weinberg Medical Physics is a medical-device incubator developing compact MRI systems, magnetic-particle technologies and related therapies for clinical use. Based in Rockville, the company combines ultrafast MRI with low-power electropermanent magnets and engineered nanoparticles, turning its work into self-sustaining ventures such as Promaxo, Radialis and Brain Biosciences.ROCKVILLE, MD
