Vena Vitals Inc.

Vena Vitals Inc. is a for-profit corporate entity registered in Irvine, California, specializing in advanced biomedical monitoring technologies with a specific focus on cardiovascular health measurement devices. The company is a women-owned small business that has been actively registered in SAM.gov since October 2019 and concentrates on developing innovative wearable technologies for continuous, non-invasive blood pressure monitoring. Their core technological approach involves creating sophisticated sensor systems that can capture high-resolution physiological data, particularly related to cardiovascular metrics, using micro-nanoscale functional materials.

The company has secured multiple federal grants from prestigious agencies like the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), predominantly focused on developing advanced blood pressure monitoring technologies. Their grant-funded projects include developing VeriSleep, a wearable device for continuous cardiovascular biomarker monitoring during sleep, a wearable alert system for detecting postoperative hypotension, and a beat-to-beat blood pressure monitor using specialized wrinkled functional materials. These projects have ranged from Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I and Phase II awards to project grants, with funding amounts between $256,000 and $306,872. The research aims to address critical gaps in current medical monitoring technologies, such as providing more comprehensive and continuous blood pressure tracking in surgical, critical care, and sleep disorder contexts, with potential applications in improving patient outcomes and understanding cardiovascular health risks.
