After hearing information about the exciting things happening at UNeMed Corporation we were able to align an interview with Drs. Michael Dixon and James Linder and learn more about UNeMed as well as what is in the works.
If you recall, the last Creative Capital Pitch Session winner, Habitwise, was a product that spun out of development at UNeMed. We’ll have more information on Habitwise in the near future…
Here’s the About Us from UNeMed’s website:
