About Perosphere Technologies

Perosphere Technologies is changing the way decisions are made for patients at risk for bleeding. A private medical technologies company, Perosphere is focused on development and commercialization of the novel PoC (point-of-care) Coagulometer, which informs diagnosis, treatment, and prevention through precision data, made immediately accessible to all. It is the only point-of-care (POC) diagnostic tool that effectively and swiftly tests clotting times across drug classes, including Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs).

Perosphere Technologies is funded by Advantage Capital Partners, Ambit Health Ventures, Connecticut Innovations, Ogden, and others, and has been awarded multiple federal grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
