Blood clots be gone!

BALTIMORE — David Narrow of Baltimore, CEO of Sonavex, Inc., a biomedical engineering company that has invented a way to detect potentially deadly post-operative blood clots, has been selected to participate in the 2016 ROI Global Summit in Jerusalem, an exclusive, high-profile gathering of young global innovators taking place June 26-30.

David invented and sells a device that monitors and detects potentially damaging post-operative blood clots while there is time for surgeons to fix the problem. His company also helped raise more than $1 million to get the device into use. For more details on Daniel please visit: https://www.schusterman.org/users/david-narrow.

This year’s participants bring a diverse set of interests and accomplishments, ranging from building an online support system used by thousands of victims of sexual abuse around the world; to making Jewish text more accessible through humorous takeoffs on biblical stories; to establishing a yoga organization that provides low income Kenyan women with the skills to become self-sufficient yoga instructors; and much more. These 150 innovators share a commitment to building a more vibrant, inviting and inclusive Jewish future for the benefit of the Jewish community and the broader world.
