EmergenceMed is a start-up medical device company based on technology from UTSA and UT Health San Antonio with a focus on airway management. Their first device is a portable, highly mobile, and battery powered suction device that can establish a clear airway. This device could have a significant impact on the battlefield, as airway compromise is the second leading cause of potentially survivable battlefield death, and could also be used by civilian paramedics.

This department of the U.K. seeks to encourage collaboration between San Antonio and the U.K. For example, they recently hosted a training session on how to get approval by the U.K.’s NHS, which enables public health care facilities to use technologies. They can also assist with connecting San Antonio companies with U.K. companies.
