Two Calgary teenagers are developing a medical device aimed at reducing deaths from uncontrolled bleeding. ClotGuard, founded by Sophia Dhami and Isavella Tsoulias, is creating a wearable patch that detects bleeding and delivers clotting agents directly to wounds. The concept emerged from The Knowledge Society’s Moonshot Challenge and is advancing toward a prototype.
The startup has secured $5,000 in funding from UCeed and is collaborating with Microsoft on hardware development. Combining biosensors and microneedle technology, ClotGuard reflects growing interest in decentralized emergency care and highlights Calgary’s emerging generation of science-driven entrepreneurs.
