Top 5 Finalist for 2018 Start Up of the Year Award from (CTA), Innovate Celebrate Event

Runner Up for Best Clinical Manuscript at the American Rhinologic Society (ARS) Annual Meeting

MENLO PARK, Calif., October 25, 2018--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tivic Health Systems, Inc. has been selected as one of the TOP 5 FINALISTS at last week’s Startup of the Year event in Boston. This prominent three-day event, named Innovate Celebrate, is co-hosted by Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and Established (formerly TechCo Media). This is the premiere global conference bridging the gap between the very best emerging startups and the world’s leading technology brands. "All of us at Tivic Health are honored to be a part of the TOP 5 FINALISTS out of some 1,000 entrepreneurs who applied and the 100 semifinalists,” said Jennifer Ernst, CEO and Co-founder of Tivic Health Systems.

Earlier in October at their annual meeting, the American Rhinologic Society (ARS) recognized Stanford Sinus Center and sponsor Tivic Health with Runner Up for Best Clinical Manuscript. The manuscript described a sham-controlled pivotal study in which Tivic Health’s ClearUP Sinus Pain Relief device was found to significantly reduce sinus pain. “It was a wonderful surprise to be recognized by the Ear Nose and Throat physician community in this way. The level of competition is incredibly high and our paper on the ClearUP Sinus Pain Relief device study was able to stand out, indicating enthusiasm from the clinical community about this innovative new treatment,” said Blake Gurfein, PhD, Tivic Health’s VP of Research and Scientific Affairs and Assistant Professor at UC San Francisco.

Tivic Health is actively engaging with investor communities in preparation for the ClearUP™ Sinus Pain Relief launch.
