echoSURE

We’re excited to share that echoSURE took 1st place and Crowd Favorite at the 2026 New Venture Challenge! 🎉 This competition gave us the opportunity to pitch at the Purdue Startup and Technology Expo and share our work with the community. It was a great chance to get thoughtful feedback and see how our idea resonated with both the judges and the audience. We’re especially grateful to Purdue Innovates for their support and mentorship throughout the program, as well as the mentors who have taken the time to give feedback and challenge our thinking along the way. Excited to keep building and see where this goes next! ✨ #Purdue #MedTech #Startups #Innovation

‼️ We’re currently looking for technical advisors to join our team who have expertise in audiology and/or electrical engineering to provide guidance as we continue developing echoSURE.

Please feel free to message us or share with someone who might be a great fit.

We had an incredible first day at the SCCM 2026 Critical Care Congress! Excited to be part of the Critical Care Innovation Incubator and to share our work through our poster presentation. It’s been inspiring connecting with so many passionate clinicians, researchers, and innovators shaping the future of critical care. If you’re attending the conference, we’d love for you to stop by, say hello, and check out our poster! #SCCM2026 #CriticalCare #MedTech

We're grateful that we had the opportunity to present echoSURE at the Booth Healthcare Conference 2026 this past weekend. We’re proud to be part of a community that shows up with such strong collaboration and support!

On Wednesday, we attended the Nucleate Activator team launch event in Chicago! 🚀 As finalists in the Nucleate Activator program, we’re excited for the opportunity to receive mentorship, guidance, and hands-on workshops from leaders with extensive experience in the healthcare industry. We’re incredibly grateful to be part of such an innovative and driven community, and we’re looking forward to learning, building meaningful connections, and continuing to refine our knowledge over the coming months. Thank you to the Nucleate Chicago team for a great kickoff! #Nucleate #HealthcareInnovation #Startups #MedTech

As of December 1st, we’re proud to share that echoSURE Inc. is officially incorporated! This is a major milestone for our team and a meaningful step in turning our vision into reality. We're deeply committed to our mission and incredibly grateful for the support that’s helped us get here. Excited for what’s ahead!

🌟 One week ago, we officially completed the Fall 2025 Medical Jumpstart I-Corps Course, and what an experience it has been. Over the past several weeks, we stepped outside our assumptions and into real conversations, engaging with nurses, physicians, business leaders, and other key stakeholders who helped us better understand the realities surrounding feeding tube complications. Hearing their perspectives firsthand challenged our thinking and clarified where echoSURE can provide meaningful value. The program also opened doors we didn’t anticipate, including the opportunity to attend the NASPGHAN Annual Meeting, giving us exposure to a broader clinical and industry view of the pediatric GI space. We’re coming out of I-Corps with a sharper focus and a deeper understanding of our customer landscape as we move into our next phase. A sincere thank you to the Great Lakes I-Corps Hub for their guidance, feedback, and support throughout the journey. 💫

Our team had an incredible experience attending the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) 2025 Annual Meeting in Chicago last week! This event was an amazing opportunity to connect with hospitals, companies, and researchers driving innovation in pediatric GI care. Through many conversations, we learned directly from experts and professionals about the real-world challenges and experiences they face, helping to shape the next steps of our work. We left feeling inspired by the impactful work happening across the community and excited to keep building solutions that make a difference in patient care. A huge thank you to Great Lakes I-Corps Hub for making it possible for us to attend!

We are excited to announce the formation of our company, echoSURE! echoSURE is a medical device company that aims to improve the process of nasogastric feeding tube (NG tube) validation. The current gold standard of X-ray verification costs patients approximately two hours of feeding time per placement and around $2 million per hospital each year. Our patent-pending technology aims to reduce extra delays, costs, and negative patient outcomes associated with NG tube placement. Our team recently completed the IU Launch Accelerator for Biosciences (IU LAB) Pre-accelerator powered by gener8tor! If you are interested in seeing our progress, feel free to follow us on LinkedIn!
