Gravitas Medical
About the start-up
Gravitas Medical is building a sensor-enabled disposable nasogastric tube with proprietary algorithms to reduce misplacement-related complications and prevent malnutrition. It is designed to improve enteral nutrition outcomes and shorten hospital length of stay.
The Opportunity
Gravitas Medical has developed a smart feeding tube that guides placement of the feeding tube into the stomach, and alerts for misplacement in the lungs or esophagus. Gravitas is now developing next generation products utilizing the same core technology, including reflux monitoring and a smart enteral feeding pump. This opportunity is to collaborate with our R&D engineers in developing our next generation products.
Primary responsibilities
We will tailor the internship based on skillset and education. The primary responsibilities could include data analysis from clinical studies, algorithm development to detect reflux, app development to remotely monitor data from our device, mechanical development of an enteral feeding pump, fixture development to automate testing or manufacturing of our devices.
