Mayo Clinic Built a Medical Machine Around One Stubborn Rule
For more than 160 years, Mayo Clinic has organized medicine around the patient instead of the department. Now that old operating idea is becoming a global data, diagnostics and AI business - without abandoning the clinic at its center.
Neuroglee Health
Neuroglee Health is a Boston-based digital health company building value-based, at-home dementia and cognitive care. It pairs a virtual interdisciplinary clinical team - advanced practice nurses, social workers, pharmacists and care navigators supervised by neurologists and geriatric psychiatrists - with evidence-based digital therapeutics to support patients with mild cognitive impairment through late-stage dementia and their care partners. Founded in 2020 by Aniket Singh Rajput, the company works with Mayo Clinic on its Neuroglee Connect platform and participates in the CMS GUIDE Model to deliver comprehensive, longitudinal dementia care to Medicare beneficiaries at no cost to families.
Darryl Barnes
Darryl Barnes is a physician-turned-inventor who co-founded Sonex Health, an Eagan, Minnesota medtech company building ultrasound-guided devices that move carpal tunnel and trigger finger surgery out of the operating room and into the clinic office. A former Mayo Clinic sports medicine doctor, he co-invented the UltraGuideCTR device, holds numerous medical device patents, and helped raise more than $60 million to scale the company. He has served as both CEO and chief technology officer, and was named Medical Devices CEO of the Year for the Upper Midwest in 2018.
Sonex Health
Sonex Health is a Minnesota-based medical device company that pioneered minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided treatments for common hand conditions. Its flagship UltraGuideCTR (carpal tunnel) and UltraGuideTFR (trigger finger) devices let surgeons see critical anatomy in real time and perform releases through a tiny incision in an office setting, allowing patients to return to normal activity in days rather than weeks. Founded in 2014 by Mayo Clinic physicians, the company has treated more than 20,000 carpal tunnel patients and raised over $62 million to make ultrasound-guided release the standard of care.
