TEAMFund's Annual Impact Report: A Year of Transformative Healthcare

On October 8, 2025, TEAMFund, a recognized 501(c)(3) Public Charity and a For-Profit Impact Fund dedicated to enhancing patient access to medical technology in underprivileged regions, unveiled its Annual Impact Report at The AdvaMed MedTech Conference held in San Diego. This year's report highlights an impressive achievement: TEAMFund’s seven portfolio companies – Jana Care, Forus Health, Tricog Health, MediBuddy, EchoNous, Vezeeta, and Qure.ai – collectively provided 38 million patient services, impacting the lives of 28 million unique patients over the past year.

During the conference, Tim Ring, TEAMFund's Co-Founder and former CEO of C.R. Bard, emphasized the upward trajectory of the organization, stating, "We are proud that our companies are now treating 28 million patients annually, representing a 50% increase compared to two years ago. This level of impact situates them within the top 15 to 20 MedTech firms globally, despite collectively generating less than 1% of their revenue. This accomplishment underscores the tremendous potential digital health and AI hold for patient care, particularly in low-resource environments."

TidalSense Shines with Global Health Innovation Award

In a notable highlight of the event, TEAMFund awarded its Global Health Innovation Award to TidalSense, a pioneering platform focused on AI-driven respiratory diagnostics.
