About HDO Health: HDO Health is a medical device portfolio company dedicated to bringing lifesaving technologies to the world that help prevent people from bleeding to death. Our core values are to be heart-led, data-driven, and outcome-focused. Our first medical device being developed is an innovative junctional tourniquet technology being commercialized in partnership with the Ohio State Innovation Foundation (OSIF) at the Ohio State University. We aim to provide the world with the most effective, affordable, and easy-to-use junctional tourniquet to help prevent people who have suffered a junctional wound from bleeding to death.
