COLUMBIA, Md. (February 29, 2024) – 
TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, announced a recent $400,000 investment into Linshom Medical, Inc., a medical device company developing an innovative wearable sensor technology to support patient respiratory monitoring. This recent investment came in two parts – $250,000 from the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) funding and $150,000 from the Venture Funds – and was done in conjunction with Abell Foundation.
TEDCO’s SSBCI funds were provided after the State of Maryland chose TEDCO to be one of the various stewards of this essential funding, allowing for more investments in target communities and areas with small, micro and Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Individual (SEDI) businesses.

This FDA cleared system supports advance notice of respiratory decline avoiding costly rapid response activations, rescue events, ICU transfers and deaths,” said Ric Hughen, CEO of Linshom Medical. “Thanks to TEDCO’s investment we can advance our efforts in research, development and commercialization.”
Linshom Medical, based in Baltimore, Md., is a medical device company committed to eliminating the mortality, morbidity and expense due to unrecognized respiratory decline in healthcare.
“Linshom Medical’s device can provide respiratory monitoring at the patient bedside, home and even in the field,” said Katherine Hill Ritchie, senior director of TEDCO’s Venture Funds. “This innovative thinking could lead to supporting numerous patients and physicians.”
