Nyuma yo kwiga abahohotewe n’abasezerewe mu ntambara, rwiyemezamirimo Ran Ma yakoze intoki n’isogisi ririmo sensor zo kumenya ibisebe by’amaguru. Ubu, isosiyete ye, Siren, imaze kubona miliyoni 9.5 z’amadolari y’Amerika, hamwe na miliyoni 8 z’amadolari y’umushoramari w’ibanze Mölnlycke Health Care kugira ngo arusheho guteza imbere no kwemeza ibicuruzwa byayo birinda indwara ya diyabete (DFU). Ubu imaze gukusanya miliyoni 43 z’amadorali kugeza ubu.
Abantu bagera kuri miliyoni 830 ku isi barwaye diyabete, hejuru 1/3 cyabo bakaba bashobora kurwara ibisebe bitesha umutwe mu buzima bwabo, ibyo bikaba bishobora gutera ingorane zikomeye, ndetse no gucibwa mu bihe bimwe na bimwe.
Ibicuruzwa bya Siren, Siren Socks, byerekana ibimenyetso hakiri kare bishobora gukomeretsa ibirenge ukumva ubushyuhe bw’ikirenge bw’umurwayi no kumenya ahantu hashyushye byerekana ibisebe bishobora kuba mugihe nyacyo. Isosiyete ivuga ko ishobora kugabanya ibyago bya DFUs kugera kuri 68% naho gucibwa ku gipimo cya 83% mu gukusanya amakuru ubudahwema.
Ma yabwiye TechCrunch ati: “Nize ibijyanye n’ubuhanga bw’ibinyabuzima muri Johns Hopkins no muri kaminuza ya Northwestern.Igihe yari ahari, yakoraga muri laboratoire kugira ngo akore biomask kugira ngo ahindure isura y’umuntu abahohotewe n’abasirikare bahoze mu ntambara “.
Ma yavuye mu ishuri inshuro ebyiri rimwe avuye mu majyaruguru y’uburengerazuba, hanyuma ava mu ishuri ry’ubucuruzi rya Copenhagen ariko amaherezo yadoda intoki prototype ya mbere y’isogisi ya Siren hamwe na sensor yaguze na RadioShack hamwe n’ubuyobozi bwa Arduino busigaye kuri Maker Faire. Ati: “Nahise nishyura umudozi muri Chinatown kudoda prototype yanjye ya kabiri hamwe na sensor nyinshi kandi nkora amasogisi ya mbere akomeje kugenzura ubushyuhe“.
Muri 2017, itangira ryatsindiye amarushanwa ya Hardware Battlefield ya TechCrunch muri Disrupt. Kuva icyo gihe, Siren yakusanyije inkunga muri Khosla Ventures, Ikigega cyashinze, DCM, Manta Ray Ventures, na Aloft n’abandi, yinjije miliyoni 18 z’amadolari muri Series B. Ubu yongeyeho Mölnlycke nk’umushoramari wa mbere w’ingamba.
Umwanya urimo gushyuha, kugira ngo uhimbe interuro. Umunywanyi Podimetrics yakusanyije miliyoni zisaga 98 z’amadorali kubera materi yayo yerekana ubushyuhe, mu gihe Orpyx ikora insole yerekana imbaraga, iherutse gukusanya miliyoni 20 z’amadolari y’ishoramari.
