    Innovation Award from NorTech / Crain’s Cleveland Business

    2/23/2009

    NASA GRC / ZIN Technologies are among the recipients from Northeast Ohio that received an Innovation Award from NorTech / Crain’s Cleveland Business for technological breakthroughs. On February 18, 2009, award winners were celebrated and recognized at the 2009 NorTech Innovation Awards event, hosted in partnership with Crain's Cleveland Business. The program was held at Windows on the River, in the west bank of the Flats in downtown Cleveland. Ohio. Congressman Tim Ryan (District 17) was the keynote speaker for the evening.

    This year, a distinguished panel of judges from Northeast Ohio, representing a broad range of technology expertise from academia, venture capital, private industry and economic development, selected ten innovations that have the potential to dramatically impact a specific industry or market sector.

    "Since 2000, NorTech has been recognizing technology leaders working at the forefront of research, development and technology commercialization in Northeast Ohio," said Dorothy C. Baunach, President and CEO, of NorTech. "We believe the innovations being recognized today will lay the groundwork for building new technology industries for the future of our region."

    NASA Glenn Research Center and ZIN Technologies was recognized for vMetrics. A compact, wireless biometric monitoring system originally designed to track the health of astronauts while onboard the International Space Station. This revolutionary technology has applications beyond the aerospace industry, allowing medical personnel in a hospital or clinical setting to remotely monitor the health of patients, reducing the frequency of hospital stays, nursing visits and medical costs.

    ZIN Technologies, in partnership with The Cleveland Clinic, established ZIN Medical, Inc. to further develop, test and commercialize the vMetrics technology. For more information, go to www.zinmedical.com.
