The Sweat Spot
Eccrine Systems, a privately held company co-founded by UC College of Engineering and Applied Science professor of electrical engineering and computing systems
Jason Heikenfeld, continues to receive recognition for the
pioneering work it is doing with health diagnostics. The startup, spun
out of UC in 2013, is Heikenfelds third, and a portion of the company
is owned by UC, as are many of the patents related to the sweat sensor
patch technology.
Since an October 2014 CEAS article covering Heikenfelds work, the technology and the funding for it have progressed significantly, though not overnight. As Heikenfeld says, We had been working in the background for some time to prepare for this. One of the monetary awards they received was a $50,000 grant through UCs Technology Commercialization Accelerator program that laid the foundation for further rounds of capital.
