The SmartTab team is pleased to announce they will be attending the Startup Health Festival 2020 in San Francisco to present significant progress on the Wireless Ingestible Capsule. 

SmartTab presents a unique opportunity in history to transform drug delivery for people to lead better lives. SmartTab has been a regular at the festival since their first attendance four years ago and they have come a long way since. What started out as an idea is now becoming a reality.

“What once could be seen as impossible is now one step closer to becoming a reality.”

-Polina Hanin, Executive Director of Startup Health

StartUp Health Festival is a festival that gathers CEOs, investors, world leaders and entrepreneurs focused on solving the world’s biggest health challenges. This invite-only experience, takes place alongside the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference and rallies a global army of Health Transformers who are reimagining the future of health. Attendees leave with actionable insights, powerful connections and a new mindset on collaboration.

The progress this year comes with the completion of successful pre-clinical animal studies which demonstrated the ability of a proprietary radio-controlled immediate release SmartTab Capsule delivery system to deliver the test article to a targeted area of the gastrointestinal tract and compare plasma pharmacokinetics to that observed after oral delivery of caffeine in Yorkshire-Cross farm swine.

 

There’s no better way to kick off the year than attending Startup Health Festival. It’s a great way for us to share our progress and the next big things to come!
