The Memo: NousQ Revolutionizing Ear Tube Insertion

 Under the direction of Founder and CEO Lynne Lim, NousQ is revolutionizing the treatment of middle ear infections with CLiKX, a novel robotic handheld device designed to make effective care accessible to patients worldwide. This innovative device reimagines treatment by reducing the need for complex surgical infrastructure and general anesthesia, bringing a much-needed solution to millions of patients in both developed and developing regions.

Origin Story

The inspiration for CLiKX arose during a pivotal moment in Lim’s career while on a humanitarian mission in Cambodia. As part of a surgical outreach program, Lim performed free surgeries for children, including the removal of a large neck tumor using only local anesthesia. However, an encounter with hundreds of children suffering from middle ear infections left a profound impact on her.

“These kids had trekked for days over mountains to see me, thinking I could help them,” Lim recalled. “But without an operating theater, general anesthesia, and the specialized equipment required for the procedure, I couldn’t do a thing for them. It was heartbreaking to turn them away.”

This experience catalyzed Lim’s determination to develop a solution. “I realized there had to be a way to make the procedure simpler, more accessible, and affordable,” she explained. Inspired by the efficiency of an ear-piercing gun and driven by the need she witnessed firsthand, Lim founded NousQ and created CLiKX, a device designed to revolutionize the treatment of middle ear infections.

According to  Jonathan Norris , Managing Director at  HSBC Innovation Banking , who writes comprehensive reports on the venture healthcare ecosystem, this surge marks a 20% rise in both capital and deal count compared to the 2024 average. “Not only did we have more dollars, but there were more deals, which is really good to see,” Norris says, in a recent interview with  The Lens . “I think the quick and easy takeaway is that more companies were getting funded in Q1, and a good percentage of the bigger deals in the quarter were PMA pivotal trial rounds.
