Sonnest, Inc. is a medical equipment manufacturer focused on pre-clinical healthcare advances, developing Electrast™, an ultrasound imaging agent designed to circulate in its inactive form and become activated in the heart muscle to enable rapid, radiation-free assessment of myocardial perfusion at the point of care. The approach aims to provide clinicians with a cost-effective method to evaluate heart blood flow without exposing patients to ionizing radiation or toxic dyes. The company operates in the medical devices and imaging space, targeting providers and research teams involved in cardiac care and perfusion assessment. Based in Baltimore, Maryland, Sonnest was established by a collaboration of cardiologists and chemical engineers affiliated with Drexel University and related entrepreneurial teams. A notable recent development is the company’s oversubscribed Series A financing announced in mid-2021, reflecting progress in advancing its imaging technology toward clinical evaluation.
