What SOLUtion Medical™ Does and Who It Serves
SOLUtion Medical is pioneering the next generation of drug delivery systems—intuitive, user-friendly devices that simplify point-of-care drug mixing. The company’s mission is to eliminate the unnecessary complexity, inefficiency, and risk that patients face when every second counts.
The flagship program focuses on adrenal crisis care, addressing a critical unmet need for more than 250,000 at-risk individuals in the United States and 6.5 million worldwide. By streamlining emergency drug administration, SOLUtion Medical is not only improving outcomes for those living with adrenal insufficiency but also laying the groundwork for innovations that can transform other therapies requiring point-of-care mixing.
At its core, SOLUtion Medical is driven by a belief that health challenges should never limit a person’s ability to live freely. The company designs solutions for a world that moves fast—empowering patients to navigate life with confidence, autonomy, and dignity.
The Inspiration Behind SOLUtion Medical™
Founder, Chief Product, and Strategy Officer Julia Anthony, MS, was born with congenital adrenal hyperplasia—a life-threatening condition that leaves her vulnerable to adrenal crisis. When the body fails to produce cortisol, immediate treatment is essential. Yet the current emergency process involves 14 intricate steps, including time-sensitive drug mixing. In moments of crisis, this complexity can mean the difference between life and death.
Determined to change that reality, Julia founded SOLUtion Medical with a singular mission: to redefine drug delivery and remove the barriers that stand between patients and timely care. Her lived experience fuels a deep understanding of what’s at stake and a relentless drive to create solutions that truly serve patients.
As an LGBTQIA+ founder living with a chronic condition, Julia is also committed to embedding inclusivity into the foundation of medical innovation. SOLUtion Medical’s products are designed with universal accessibility in mind—supporting diverse physical needs and identities while advancing a more equitable healthcare landscape.
Milestone Achievement: Manufacturing Readiness
A major milestone for SOLUtion Medical has been the successful manufacturing of its first pre-filled syringe units. This achievement marks a pivotal step forward, validating the company’s technology and demonstrating readiness for scale-up, partnership, and commercialization. It represents not only technical progress but also a tangible move toward delivering life-saving innovation to patients who need it most.
The Power of Community: Support from ICW®
Through the ICW® cohort and the leadership of Katie Kupstas, Julia has connected with a dynamic network of women founders and investors across Philadelphia and beyond. This community has provided invaluable support—expanding SOLUtion Medical’s reach, sparking collaborations, and opening doors to potential investors who share the company’s vision for a more patient-centered future.
Looking Ahead
SOLUtion Medical stands at the intersection of innovation, empathy, and empowerment. By reimagining how life-saving drugs are delivered, the company is not only transforming emergency care but also redefining what’s possible in patient-centered design. For Julia Anthony and her team, the mission is clear: to ensure that no one’s health condition limits their ability to live fully, freely, and fearlessly.
