Soft-Tissue analysis.
Sideline-ready.

EIT-tek is building a portable, non-invasive analysis device that uses Electrical Impedance Tomography to assess musculoskeletal health. An electrode sleeve captures tissue conductivity and quantifies how much swelling is present, giving trainers actionable insight in under a minute, with zero radiation.

001 / The problem

A monitoring gap at field-level.

High-quality musculoskeletal imaging stays locked in hospitals. Trainers make return-to-play calls without the data to back them.

01
3.5M+

Youth athletes suffer sports injuries in the U.S. every year.

02
24%

Of athletes retire early from sport due to injury-related causes.

03
3–5×

Higher injury prevalence vs. the general population.

04
$$$

The cost of imaging blocks ongoing monitoring of musculoskeletal health.

002 / The solution

A wearable sleeve. A tablet. A map.

How it works

Musculoskeletal assessment:
How deep is swelling?

EIT-tek quantifies the severity of an injury and gives the trainer more information to make informed decisions about recovery, once only possible with hospital grade equipment.

  • 01

    Extracellular Fluid

    A low-frequency current cannot cross cell membranes and therefore must travel through fluid instead, however, high-frequency current penetrates cell membranes allowing for a shorter route, the differential between the two isolates deep fluid unseen by the eye.

  • 02

    Cell Membrane Integrity

    The measured reactance and phase angle changes with respect to the severity (I.E. grade I-III). Knowing an injury's severity can help prevent compounding injuries.

  • 03

    Localization

    An electrode array with cross-plane current injection reconstructs change, specifically distinguishing from lateral, medial, superficial, and deep.

003 / The hardware

Two configurations.
One platform.

A shared signal chain powers both scanning modes, so the software stays the same whether you're reading a single cross-section or a full volumetric reconstruction.

Mode A · Single electrode ring

One plane, read directly.

A single band sits at the site of injury and images that cross-section on its own. In-plane current injection maps conductivity across the slice, and repeat scans compare against the athlete's own baseline over time.

Mode B · Multi-ring array

Capture the volume at once.

Multiple electrode rings cover the whole region in a single scan. Cross-plane current injection creates diagonal paths through the tissue volume for true 3D reconstruction.

005 / Roadmap

Concept → clearance → field.

Four phases from provisional patent to FDA 510(k) clearance and athletic-department integration.

S1 Now
Foundations
  • Prototype hardware assembly
  • Build 2D circular mesh in pyEIT
  • Provisional patent filed
  • Customer Discovery
  • Early stage funding
S2 Next
Validation
  • Phantom validation testing
  • Create mock electrode sleeves
  • Test crude hardware assembly on phantom
S3 Pilot
Human testing
  • Custom software design + build
  • Pilot human testing
  • Analysis on human data
S4 Market
Launch
  • Seek FDA 510(k) clearance
  • Seed funding round
  • Athletic-dept integration
  • Enter market

006 / The ask
$60K Pre-seed · Concept → validated prototype

We're raising $60,000 in pre-seed funding to complete prototype development, and launch pilot testing with university athletic programs. This takes EIT-tek from concept to a validated prototype, to real product used by athletic facilities nationwide.
