We've been wearing rings for over 5,000 years. We wear them for all sorts of reasons. They are signals and symbols of some of the most important things in human culture, and we've imbued them with an incredible amount of purpose and meaning.

Ring Rescue has solved a medical problem that has long suffered from a suboptimal solution involving dental floss and power tools. Using their cutting-edge technology, their Dolphin Ring Cutter can slice through even the hardest metals in minutes, making a cut so fine that your ring can easily be re-made, leaving a piece of family history, or the symbol of your marriage, firmly intact.

Half of all people on earth, given enough time, will be diagnosed with Cancer. Many of those people will receive radiation therapy, and part of that therapy will entail getting a bolus fitted.
A bolus is a device that is used to control the dosing of radiation for cancer patients, among other things. It's also fitted by humans using art & crafts supplies. Adaptiiv Medical Technologies is revolutionizing what they call the Last Mile of Cancer Care, taking it out of the analog realm and into the digital one. Using the plethora of scans and imaging that one gets throughout the process of receiving a diagnosis, Adaptiiv's software can create a fully bespoke, 3D-printed bolus. This approach quickens treatment times for hospitals, but most importantly, drastically improves the patient experience, which for someone going through cancer, is anything but a footnote.
