October 18: Transformational Ideas Recognized

–submitted by Valerie Renk

Rotarians heard from fellow Rotarian Tara Grays how several ideas are transforming Wisconsin businesses. Great ideas were celebrated by honoring nine recipients of Wisconsin Innovation Awards. 

Hello Loom, a small-scale loom, makes it easier for people to start a fiber arts hobby, and was the first honoree example. Hello Loom is the size of a cell phone and just as portable.

Another honoree, Elephas, images a live Cancer tumor to predict which immunotherapy the tumor will best respond to.

Nurse Disrupted helps close the nursing shortage gap by deploying virtual nursing sessions from current staff.  

Other honorees included:  Synthetaic, NECTO, Virtual Foundry, Community Clothes Closet, and Managecore.
