As a result of prescribing SinusPharmacy's SinuNEB™ System, I developed an excellent working relationship with the management team of the Company. I am thoroughly impressed with SinusPharma's approach to aerosolized sinusitis treatment and am delighted to now join their Business Advisory Board," stated Dr. Wahl.

Chief Operating Officer OF VR NEUROTECH LLC - START-UP 2004

“Fatigue Alert” is a real time, two-camera, video system that captures driver facial characteristics. This is a predictive device for the dangerous ‘sleepy driver’ with applications in rail operators, pilots, truckers, air traffic controllers and shipping. The key to the system’s success embraces an inexpensive application derived from the unique algorithm that allows DSP and board manufacturing (Texas Instruments is assisting in the DSP development). The system is non- computer dependent, non-invasive, nonintrusive, has no moving parts, utilizes an embedded processor and can be produced inexpensively.
