Infinia ML uses advanced machine learning techniques to solve business challenges for Fortune 500 companies. Our algorithms unlock the hidden potential of our clients’ data, helping them automate complex processes, enhance employee efficiency, and pioneer transformational breakthroughs. Led by serial AI entrepreneur Robbie Allen and computer science luminary Lawrence Carin, our team’s combined accomplishments include over 500 published papers, 30 granted patents, 11 authored or co-authored books, and five PhDs.

“The company is, in many ways, the translation of the work we’ve been doing at Duke for many years on machine learning,” Carin said in an interview with the Triangle Business Journal.

The inventors’ story began at the time of the handheld computer and a growing popularity amongst clinicians for pocket-sized calculators and for ready information resources such as drugs and vaccine schedules. They saw a gap in the delivery of timely updates for management of infections in their large academic hospital in North Carolina. The solution was CustomID® which they first launched for PDA and later as a web app for display either via desktop or mobile internet browser. Subsequently, in 2005, the Dutch Working Party on Antibiotic Policy (SWAB) licensed the CustomID® framework and installed their guide in 30 hospitals in the Netherlands. CCDS is now taking CustomID® for offering beyond the Duke enterprise.

CustomID®

CustomID® is different from other antimicrobial guides by providing site-specific content, easily customizable, which is key for timely updates about drug shortages, outbreaks, and site-specific policies and protocols.

The company vision is to forward cutting-edge technology and knowledge transfer that is suitable for all medical disciplines, a vision to keep at the forefront, the goal of saving lives.

Monoclonal antibodies make up an effective and rapidly growing class of drugs. They are also critical research tools and essential for the development of many new diagnostics.

IsoTag Technology

The IsoTag technology works on the basis of affinity and phase separation. An engineered domain from Protein A captures the Fc portion of a monoclonal antibody (mAb). This affinity domain is fused to a stimulus responsive biopolymer. When in complex, the stimulus responsiveness is conferred to the mAb. This allows it to undergo phase separation from all other cellular contaminants. This process is fast, simple, and highly concentrating.

Scanslated software analyzes the text of a standard radiology report, translates that text into simple language, and displays the report results on a diagrammatic, interactive webpage.

THE PROBLEM

92% of Americans have access to their medical records online. More than 50% of patients who use the online portal are accessing their radiology reports. However, these reports are technical documents written in medical terminology, and most patients don’t understand them.

THE SOLUTION

We’re creating a radiology report that people can actually understand. Our software analyzes the text of a standard radiology report, translates that text into simple language, and displays the report results on a diagrammatic, interactive webpage.

These waterproof sleeves or adjustable vests with waterproof sleeves provide a means to protect central line lumens and their connected IV tubing from contamination or entanglement in infants, small children, and now older patients as well.

Line Snugglers unique design keeps lines bundled and organized for easy movement and shields the central lines and all IV connection points from body fluids and other debris, such as glitter, playdoh, glue, or paint. Additionally, this innovation decreases the anxiety of patients, families, and nurses, as children actively go through intense treatment for life-threatening illnesses.

“The Duke OLV team has helped me in protecting my ideas’ design and in the early stages of a start-up, something we will continue to work on so that soon patients, families, and nurses everywhere can benefit from my invention!” –Marybeth Tetlow, inventor of Line Snugglers
