ANN ARBOR, Michigan –Two Michigan life science companies — one that caters to online medical records and the other focused on early disease detection — on Wednesday received more than $200,000 each in seed funding.
OcuSciences, a University of Michigan spinoff, received $250,000. It’s developing a product to use images from the eye to detect diseases, such as diabetes, earlier than current methods. White Pine Systems received $225,000 to develop its Web-based service, which stores and manages information such including medical records.
The funding comes via the state-supported Michigan Pre-Seed Capital Fund, which gives loans and equity investments to early-stage high-tech companies.
