Inmedix raises another $19,405 to support kids with arthritis at Seattle Children’s Hospital
6th Annual Inmedix Charity Golf Tournament takes the Inmedix total to nearly $90,000.
NORMANDY PARK, WA, USA, September 16, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Seattle-based biotech/medtech Inmedix, Inc. continued its effort to support kids with arthritis at its 6th annual Inmedix charity golf tournament at the Golf Club at Newcastle on Monday, August 29, 2022. Today, it announced a final tally of $19,405 raised. After these six events, the company has provided nearly $90,000 to support research and other pressing needs at the Pediatric Rheumatology division of the University of Washington at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
Inmedix is developing two important medical advances: cloud-based clinical diagnostics and the concept of immuno-autonomics - the interface between immune function and stress, controlled within the brain by the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Fight-or-flight stress can drive autoimmune disease to excess and contribute to treatment resistance (1,2). With its CloudHRV™ diagnostic in development, Inmedix seeks to quantify ANS stress state at FDA regulatory standards.
“This event has become a tradition,” said Andrew J. Holman, MD, local rheumatologist, Inmedix CEO and Co-founder, and Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington. “It continues to be an annual highlight for all of us at Inmedix. Most do not realize that children can suffer from autoimmune diseases and arthritis. Thankfully, our region is blessed with an exceptional and dedicated team at Seattle Children’s Hospital to address these needs and Inmedix is committed to supporting these remarkable medical professionals, the kids, and their families.”
