At the heart of the UCF Business Incubation Program is helping companies create high-wage jobs in targeted industries. And one of the best ways we do this is through our Soft Landing Program. This program helps companies that want to expand or move to Central Florida build a foundation for success.
That’s why we are so impressed with Rahm Sensor Development and their growth in our region after moving from Ohio. The company announced it will be creating more than 30 positions in Central Florida as part of a neonatal medical research project.
That type of investment improves our region. That’s why Orlando Business Journal recently featured Rahm Sensor Development about this project.
Here’s a bit from the article:
A company with Ohio roots is expanding its operations in Orlando.
Rahm Sensor Development plans to hire up to 30 employees as part of an expansion here. The company is part of the UCF Business Incubation Program.
The company has been using its Cell-Guardian technology in correctional centers, which allows for the tracking of falls and body temperature using a combination of radar, thermal imaging and computer vision.
Rahm Sensor Development recently received Institutional Review Board approval to advance a neonatal research study, which can expand its uses. It is exploring its technology for use in healthcare, elder care and more.
Vik Ramprakash, founder and CEO of Rahm Sensor Development, told Orlando Business Journal he had been living in Orlando for 19 years before moving the company here. He previously was founder and CEO of University of Florida startup Structured Monitoring Products Inc., which created monitoring software for pets and was acquired by Zomedica in 2023.
Rahm Sensor Development’s registered place of business is 151 Innovation Drive, Suite 250 in Elyria, Ohio. It also has a location in the Innovation Hub at Research Park at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, and a tech support and software branch in Bengaluru, India.
He said the move puts the company in what is a growing healthcare and technology ecosystem where it can explore more applications for its technology. “The region brings together healthcare, technology, research and entrepreneurial talent, creating an environment where we can continue developing the technology while building relationships with organizations that can help bring it into broader human applications,” he said.
