Baxter International Inc.
Baxter rarely gets the bedside spotlight. Its pumps, beds, monitors, medicines and IV bags are the practical infrastructure that lets modern care move - and the century-old company is rebuilding itself around a more connected hospital.
Carecubes
Carecubes makes the Carecube, an FDA 510(k)-cleared negative-pressure isolation canopy that turns any standard hospital bed into an airborne-isolation unit in about 20 minutes. Born from a DARPA-funded Ebola-era project at San Francisco research lab Otherlab, the device pulls air through an H14 HEPA filter, holds negative pressure, and lets caregivers reach patients through glove walls - isolating the pathogen instead of the patient. The Arden Hills, Minnesota company closed a $6.5M Series A in March 2026 and has deployed across dozens of communities and health systems.
