Executive summary
Current state
NSF awarded $50k I-Corps funding to NYIT for commercial assessment of a patient-comfort dental x-ray bite block technology, creating a capital influx that exposes NYIT's commercial infrastructure gap for medical device market entry.
Market catalyst
NYIT's FEA optimization framework patent likely covers only the computational design algorithm, leaving the actual manufacturing method for the compliant outer layer unprotected - creating a critical IP gap in the supply chain.
