From the notebook on your desk to the evidence FDA will ask for.

ThromboLedger is an R&D workspace for medical device inventors who still think on paper. Photograph a notebook page and it becomes a reviewed, fingerprinted document. The mechanism, bench results, risks, spending and the FDA evidence list stay linked in one history you can hand to an engineer, a regulatory consultant or an investor. Configured first for neurovascular thrombectomy devices.

What it does

The invention is on paper. The evidence has to be somewhere else.

Physician inventors do the hard part by hand: sketches, bench observations, the reasoning behind each change. The trouble starts when that work has to become something an engineer can build from, a reviewer can trace, or an investor can fund. Pages get retyped, numbers drift, and nobody can say which version of the idea a test result belongs to.

ThromboLedger keeps the original page untouched and fingerprinted, puts a typed draft next to it, and only counts the text once a person has checked it line by line. From there the same record carries forward: the mechanism revision it describes, the requirement it turns into, the protocol that tests it, the risk it controls and the FDA evidence item it answers.

Anything still unknown stays visibly unknown. The software never fills a gap with a guess, never predicts clinical results, and never submits anything to FDA.

The gaps

Six problems that fall between the tools you'd otherwise buy.

Paper gets stuckNote apps and some lab notebooks can now read handwriting. We have not found one that turns a page into a reviewed record linked to design controls and FDA evidence.
Who invented whatYour employer's tech-transfer office keeps its own disclosure system. You need a neutral, dated, fingerprinted record of every revision and contributor. Since 2013 the US is first-inventor-to-file, and dated records still decide derivation and inventorship disputes.
Quality software arrives too earlyLeading eQMS platforms start around $12k–$18k a year, commonly run $25k–$45k, take weeks to set up and assume a quality team. A solo inventor isn't there yet.
Test plans approved before the mathSample size has to be justified, but the calculators sit apart from approval. We have not found a QMS that refuses a plan whose sample size can't reach its own confidence target. ThromboLedger refuses it at approval.
Expert hours are expensiveOutside regulatory help commonly bills $150–$450 an hour. Arrive with your gap map, not a box of notebooks for them to read.
Five tools that don't talkTimestamping, invention disclosure, design controls, submission drafting and a budget spreadsheet usually live in separate places, so nothing connects evidence to runway.

Side by side

What exists, and what ThromboLedger adds.

ThromboLedger is for the years before you need a validated quality system. When you do need one, your records export to it.

How it works

A working session, start to finish.

The live app walks through every step below on a fictional project, with a button to do each one for you.

  1. Capture the pagePhotograph or scan the notebook. The original is fingerprinted on arrival and never edited.
  2. Review the transcriptionTyped draft beside the original. Fix what the machine misread, sign off, export a Word document with its provenance.
  3. Update the mechanismEach change is a new revision. Open questions about materials, failure modes and testing stay on the list.
  4. Plan and record the bench workRequirements, pass rules fixed before testing, results scored automatically, and an honest confidence bound on what the runs support.
  5. Control risk and costHazards closed only against evidence. Spending in balanced books, with runway from what was actually spent.
  6. Prepare the FDA conversation27 evidence items, including neurovascular and novel-device questions, each closed only with a pointer to the proof.
  7. Hand it overVerify the history hasn't been altered, then export one package for advisers, with a fingerprint manifest.
What's different

Built around how inventors actually work.

Paper stays the sourceThe handwritten page is the original record. The software organizes around it instead of asking you to change how you think.
Nothing counts until a person checks itMachine transcription is labeled a draft. Export unlocks only after a named human review.
Rules before resultsPass criteria are locked before testing, and a plan that could never succeed is refused before anyone spends bench time on it.
Proof of historyEvery action is chained to the one before it, so a quietly changed number is caught and named.

The offer

The Founding Physician Pilot: your notebooks to an evidence map in 90 days.

Three places, because each pilot works directly with our build team. We do the heavy lifting. Your part is photographing pages and signing off.

3 founding places · 90 days
$15,000

$7,500 to start. The second $7,500 only when your gap map arrives and earns it (see the guarantees).

  • Your notebook backlog, typed for youUp to 300 pages transcribed by our team and laid out beside the originals for your sign-off, in the first 30 days.
  • Configured to your deviceMechanism fields, requirements, test plans, risks and all 27 FDA evidence items set up for your device class, under a mutual NDA before you describe anything.
  • Your evidence gap map in 14 daysEvery item: what you already have, what's missing, and the next move. You bring this to a regulatory consultant instead of paying them to find it.
  • Inventorship record with independent timestampsEvery revision and contributor, fingerprinted and dated by a trusted third-party time-stamping service, ready for your patent attorney or tech-transfer office.
  • Secure setupWindows or web, encrypted storage, an account for each person, and a backup we prove can be restored.
  • A monthly evidence review30 minutes with the build team, plus a fresh adviser package before every consultant, engineer or investor meeting.

The guarantees

Free before you pay anythingThree of your pages, typed and laid out for review within two business days, with an error report. You decide after.
Gap map in 14 days, or the second half is waivedIf your gap map isn't delivered in 14 days, or doesn't show at least one evidence gap you didn't already know about, you don't pay the second $7,500. You keep everything.
Pages back in 2 business days, or a free monthEvery page you add comes back as a draft within two business days, measured by the timestamps in your own audit log. Miss it once and your pilot runs a month longer at no cost.

We guarantee our work, never an FDA decision. Classification, testing and submission strategy stay with qualified regulatory professionals.

Who builds it

A software studio that ships and runs its own products.

ThromboLedger is built by Millennials Creatives, the same team that designs, ships and operates these:

Our founding team includes a legal nurse consultant, and our medical advisory board convenes in January 2027.

What it is not

ThromboLedger organizes development records. It is not a validated quality-management system, not 21 CFR Part 11 certified, not an eSTAR form, and it never submits anything to FDA. It does not simulate clot removal or predict safety or efficacy, and its checklists are planning prompts, not regulatory advice. Classification, testing and submission strategy belong with qualified regulatory and quality professionals. Everything in the live app is fictional; don't enter patient information.
