SCRA has accepted five new companies into its entrepreneurial program SC Launch. Client companies receive mentoring and support services and may also be eligible for grants, matching funds and investments.

• SW Products, an environmental manufacturing company in Greenville, produces the Marlee Float Skimmer, a patent pending storm water erosion control device. The skimmer can be used in new construction for erosion control, or installed for permanent use in retention and detention ponds. The design traps floatables and increases sediment trapping efficiency, according to a news release.
• Healthy Humming's patented product combines acoustic vibration and pressure to relieve nasal congestion, sinusitis and symptoms of upper airway infections. The Midlands-based company has developed a patented device called the Hummmer, which provides a treatment option for sinusitis and other upper airway infections, like the common cold. The Hummmer is a comfortable, clean, cost effective, easy-to-use device which gives a feeling of immediate relief of nasal congestion, according to the release.
• Charleston-based Clinacuity's solutions extract critical information from patient electronic healthcare records. The data extracted provides clarity and efficiency to improve patient care, the release said. The company is developing two product prototypes with funding from the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences with clinical impact evaluations by Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina and the University of Utah, according to SCRA.

Lowcountry company Get Tech Fit has developed a 3D scanner for mobile devices. The application is targeted for use in manufacturing orthotics and prosthetics. In less than one minute, physicians can use their mobile devices to measure, collect and send a patient's digital scan to CAD software for shaping and 3D printing. This method allows for a one-millimeter degree of precision and the opportunity to quickly run multiple iterations for the best patient fit, according to the release.

Pangea is leveraging neurofeedback to help reduce symptoms of mental health conditions. The Lowcountry company's wearable Bluetooth headset uses embedded sensors to feed information to a mobile application that will train brainwaves utilizing scientific protocols and algorithms. Currently, neurofeedback solutions are limited due to lack of availability, complexity and high cost, the release said.

SCRA is a public, nonprofit corporation that fosters South Carolina's innovation economy.
