Debra Resienthel
Founding CEO of Novasys Medical
Inc.
Debra Reisenthel had led Novasys
Medical, a women’s health company,
since its inception, in 2001.
Along the way, she raised $90
million in venture capital to see
the company’s flagship product, the
Renessa® System, through product
development, animal studies, human
clinical trials, FDA-approval,
market acceptance, and widespread
reimbursement. In a market
with huge challenges, few
visionaries remain a company’s chief
executive throughout the entire
progression, from idea to
commercialization.
Renessa was named the 2009 Most
Promising New Product, selected by
industry CEOs, at the Phoenix
Medical Device and Diagnostic
Conference. Also since 2009, Renessa
has received several positive
insurance coverage decisions,
including approvals for nationwide
coverage from Aetna, a positive Blue
Shield of California Technology
Assessment (CTAF), and coverage
approvals from seven of the ten
Medicare regions - enabling Medicare
to cover Renessa for over 75% of
insured women nationwide.

Chairman & CEO of Revolution
Health Group

the "consumer" in the center of
