PainScan System Inc.’s patent-pending technology could allow doctors and clinical technicians to rapidly create detailed 3D maps of an individual’s pain points on an iPad or computer screen using a simple touch exam that measures pain intensity on any part of a patient’s body. That could offer physicians a holistic view of a person’s symptoms to better diagnose the causes and develop more-effective treatments.

And most of the community’s movers and shakers expect the startup ecosystem to come back even stronger than before, buoyed by a virtual world of interaction that kept the bustling, pre-COVID startup landscape alive and vibrant, even during the pandemic.
