Samay | 4,156 followers on LinkedIn. AI-driven acoustic resonance platform for respiratory care and management | Samay is on a quest to stop the progression of and ultimately prevent respiratory diseases by empowering patients, caregivers/families and clinicians with high quality and actionable health information at home.

Backed by NSF and NIH, we have developed a patented “acoustic resonance” technology that can detect air trapping, an earlier and more sensitive marker of lung dysfunction. This technology has the potential to accurately diagnose and predict deterioration (exacerbations) 4+ days in advance using low-cost, over-the -counter, sensors (100x cheaper).

Holy smokes, Hispanic women are kicking ass in #MedTech lately. Just in the last month: Fellow Colombian Maria Artunduaga, MD, MPH, MTM of Samay (respiratory health), won MedTech Innovator; another fellow Colombian Valentina Agudelo Vargas of Salva Health (breast cancer diagnostics) won the Startup Battlefield 200 at #TechCrunchDisrupt2024 ; and Carolina Aguilar of INBRAIN Neuroelectronics (brain-machine interfaces) raised a massive $50M Series B. As a Colombian-American with four daughters, I love to see the role models arising from this trend.

BioGratitude Recently, I had a photo session that turned into something more. It wasn’t planned, but during the session, we ended up filming a short video. When I received the final cut, it struck a chord and inspired me to write this post. In the past few weeks, I've noticed something wonderful. Spontaneously, across many of our activities—whether with fellow entrepreneurs, investors, or key ecosystem players—there's been a recurring sentiment: gratitude for working together. This gratitude often follows a shared piece of advice, an introduction, or a strategic discussion. But truly, we should be the ones saying thank you. Our space is still niche, but new players are stepping in. Organizations like GRIDX , The Ganesha Lab , SF500 , CITES , SP Ventures , Pitanga , Atento Capital , Endurance28 , and 1200vc are all making their mark. Behind them, there are family offices, large corporations, and institutional investors putting resources into Latin American biotech. Startups like Samay , a Colombian-founded company that recently won first place in the Medtech Innovator Global Competition, and BIOMAKERS , recognized as Argentina's most innovative company, are proof of the progress we are making. Similarly, the biotech scene in Uruguay is thriving, with upcoming international events set to shine even more light on this region. Thank you Emiliano Trias, Ph.D. and Josefina Correa for the efforts and commitments you are pouring into the biotech industry in that wonderful country. The video wasn’t planned, and honestly, I'm a bit shy about sharing it—but it turned out really well! During the recording, I was asked about my values, quite unexpectedly. My candid response reflects what we feel in this industry—our conviction, our shared dreams, and the opportunity we have to create real change. It speaks to how much we rely on each other. Interdependence is key. By standing together, we push boundaries, overcome obstacles, and redefine what’s possible. Together, we can achieve far more than we ever could alone. Thank you for helping build a stronger industry—together. #BioGratitude #LatinAmericaBiotech #EcosystemBuilding #ZentynelVC #ScienceAndBusiness

California #NSFfunded startup Samay is developing an artificial-intelligence ( #AI ) assisted wearable patch called "Sylvee" that can diagnose chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with 90% accuracy. Sylvee can monitor pulmonary volumes, trapped air, respiratory rates and breathing sounds in patients at home, assisting with management and intervention. 🫁 The company was selected as the grand prize winner for the 2024 MedTech Innovator competition for developing the novel acoustic resonance patch. 🏆 Check out https://bit.ly/3NMYNKW to learn more. #NSFSBIR 📷: Samay
