Actuated Medical Creates Products to Improve Patient Outcomes
Actuated Medical is a company that develops patented medical devices and is led by President and CEO Maureen L. Mulvihill, Ph.D. The idea for Mulvihill’s business came in 2006, when she was talking to a doctor who said, “I have a clinical need. I have 6 hours to get to a blood clot or my patient will have irreparable brain damage. I need a solution.” Mulvihill saw a market need for an agile small business that had actuation (electronically controlled motion) expertise. Actuated Medical, Inc. (AMI) was born with a mission to integrate motion into medical devices to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
