Medsix

Medsix was a Boston-based private medical device and digital health company developing wound drainage monitoring sensors and predictive analytics software for post-surgical care. Its core concept was a disposable device that attaches to commercially available wound drains and automates monitoring of drain output, with the goal of earlier detection of complications such as infection, leaks, bleeding, and blockages. The company also described WHISPER as a real-time monitoring solution for anastomotic leaks. Medsix appears to have operated as an early-stage venture-backed startup rather than a drug-development biotech, and available sources indicate it is now closed. Its work sat at the intersection of connected medical devices, patient monitoring, and hospital workflow optimization.
