Smart port.

Early detection.

Better outcomes.

THE NEXT GENERATION IN REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING

Advances in Personalized Medicine and Digital Health technologies are revolutionizing modern medicine. NXgenPort (NGP), has designed an innovative and transformative technology to maximize remote care in cancer patients requiring an implantable chemo-port catheter. Combining proven chemo-port efficacy with microchip and sensor technology, NGP measures, monitors and reports physiological body functions in vivo over the course of disease and treatment.

THE 
PROBLEM

COSTS $2.3 BILLION ANNUALLY

50%

Of patients on chemo with a port suffer from neutropenia which puts them at greater risk for infection and complications

20%

Of patients have complications ranging from minor to major, most frequently infections and thrombosis, leading to port removal, hospitalization, higher medical costs and treatment

25%

Of women on trastuzumab for HER2+ breast cancer suffer cardiotoxicity and cardiac function decline

50%

Of patients have to delay or cancel treatment due to poor blood counts on treatment days
