New resources support entrepreneurship community at Montana State
The MSU Launchpad, Jabs Entrepreneurship Center, and Sustainable Enterprises Initiative are all available to support students, faculty, staff and alumni.
When Montana State University nursing professor Elizabeth Johnson was seeking support to commercialize her business idea, she didn’t need to look far. In fact, she didn’t even need to leave campus.
In 2022, Johnson connected with the MSU Launchpad to fine-tune her invention: a wearable medical device called TrialWear. The device seeks to improve communication of complex care details between clinician teams caring for clinical trial patients and patients transferred between hospitals.
The Launchpad helped Johnson with several aspects of realizing her idea, including helping identify a market and recommending graphic designers to refine the brand. She is working to commercialize the TrialWear device and began partnering with hospitals last year, now expanding to global markets.
