About Perosphere Technologies

Perosphere Technologies is changing the way decisions are made for patients at risk of bleeding. A private medical technologies company, Perosphere is focused on development and commercialization of its 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 diagnostic tool that effectively and swiftly tests clotting times across drug classes, including DOACs. The fast diagnosis and related appropriate treatment decisions the PoC Coagulometer enables will help establish a new standard of care in hospitals, at the point-of-care, for patients at risk for bleeding and has the potential to improve efficiency, provide significant cost savings, and better patient outcomes. The PoC Coagulometer has a CE Mark in the EU but is not yet cleared in the US.
