PLATFORM 02 · SURGICAL ONCOLOGY

Detect. Treat. Confirm.

The optical platform extended for the precision a surgical margin demands.

TreatFocal treatment at the margin
ConfirmRe-scan before closing

The platform is being developed as a multimodal intraoperative probe integrating Raman spectroscopy, shear-wave elastography, focal treatment, co-registration, and AI-guided interpretation in one workflow.

Development and clinical support: Cornell engineering collaborators and surgical oncology collaborators at Dana-Farber / Brigham are supporting the program as it advances through engineering development toward future clinical evaluation.

Initial development is focused on a handheld platform, with laparoscopic and robotic versions planned.

PLATFORM 03 · INFUSION

Correct the problem before the alarm becomes the problem

A closed-loop retrofit concept designed to work around the pump infrastructure hospitals already own.

Built with Team A9 at Stevens Institute of Technology, the prototype explores mechanical detection and correction of common tubing failures before they escalate to an alarm.

The design uses sensing, controlled actuation, and verification rather than replacing the infusion pump itself.

123IV in the clinical and engineering community

Recent presentations and prototype demonstrations across point-of-care diagnostics and autonomous infusion.

STEVENS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

Autonomous IV System — Innovation Expo 2026

Five Stevens Institute of Technology Class of 2026 students, working with 123IV, developed and demonstrated an autonomous IV system using integrated sensing, real-time feedback control, and a robotic mechanism designed to detect and mechanically correct common IV tubing failures before they escalate into alarms. The team presented the system at the 2026 Stevens Innovation Expo. Stevens’ feature also notes that 123IV holds the patent for the autonomous IV infusion system and plans continued development toward commercialization.
