Gravitas Medical
Gravitas Medical was founded in 2015 with the goal of saving lives by improving the delivery of enteral nutrition. Led by CEO Jorgen Hansen and CTO & Co-Founder Saheel Sutaria, the company developed the Entarik Platform, a smart enteral nutrition system that uses embedded sensors to collect gut data and assist in safe feeding tube placement. The company is committed to transforming enteral nutrition through digital innovation, aiming to enable ICU clinicians to confidently place feeding tubes, identify complications early, and improve patient outcomes.
