2024 WINNER

Dopl Technologies

Bothell, WA

CEO: Ryan James, PhD

Awarded: $150,000 investment

Rural areas have a higher mortality rate than urban areas. A primary reason is that specialists who diagnose and treat diseases are concentrated in urban areas, forcing rural patients to travel long distances, receive care late, or forgo care altogether. Dopl's solution is a telerobotic ultrasound system that enables specialists to perform non-invasive ultrasound exams on patients in a different location. Expected benefits include increased patient access to care, improved patient outcomes, and increased revenue and decreased costs for hospitals.

OneCourt

Seattle, WA

CEO: Jerred Mace

Awarded: $50,000 investment

OneCourt brings live sports entertainment to 250 million fans with visual disabilities by translating gameplay into trackable vibrations. Most fans today rely on the radio, but it's delayed and often fails to convey spatial detail like ball and player movement. We’ve worked with the community to design a haptic game-board that conveys gameplay in real-time. Whether in the stadium or at home, fans can watch the game with their fingertips.
