Anuj Bhardwaj
Anuj Bhardwaj is the co-founder and CEO of SecondWave Systems, a Minneapolis-St. Paul medical device company building the SecondWave MINI, a wearable, noninvasive ultrasound device that aims to calm chronic inflammation by aiming focused sound at the spleen. He took a family-owned industrial ultrasound business founded by his parents in 1977 and redirected its core technology toward medicine, raising a $7M Series A in 2025 on top of more than $15M in government research funding from DARPA, NIH, and ARPA-H. Trained as a mechanical engineer at Penn State with an MS and MBA from MIT, he sits at the crossroads of hardware, bioelectronic medicine, and the emerging field of bio-ultrasonic therapy.
SecondWave Systems, Inc.
SecondWave Systems is a Minneapolis medical device company pioneering bio-ultrasonic medicine: a noninvasive, wearable ultrasound platform that targets the spleen with low-intensity focused ultrasound to calm chronic inflammation - offering patients with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis a drug-free alternative to biologics. Founded in 2019 by Anuj Bhardwaj, Hubert Lim, and Jeff Heyman, it builds on ultrasound expertise from the family-founded Ultran Group and over $15M in non-dilutive government support from DARPA, NIH, and ARPA-H.
