CPRGlove the perfect fit
Centen and Patel demonstrate their winning technology.
Things are looking good for the inventors of the CPRGlove, a portable device that guides the wearer in performing CPR correctly. Corey Centen and Nilesh Patel, the two young Canadians behind the glove, were recently awarded US$15,000 in the Collegiate Inventors Competition in Pasadena, CA. Centen and Patel invented the glove as undergrads at McMaster and launched Atreo Medical Inc., now a MaRS client, to commercialize their idea. Over the past year, the CPRGlove has won awards and attracted media attention on both sides of the border. According to Gizmodo, a popular gadget blog, the glove is “badass…like a Nintendo Power Glove.”
Badass and life-saving - what more could you want in an invention?
Kathryn is the Market Research Information Specialist Intern at MaRS. She is a graduate of the Masters of Information Studies program at the University of Toronto.
Congratulations to Corey and Nilesh for this terrific medical device invention. Also kudos to MaRS for investing in and supporting the next generation tech entrepreneurial talent. Now comes the commercialization challenge!
