Five home-grown innovations — including two medical systems, workforce software, a parts ID marker for manufacturing and a video tracker for ski racers — are vying for the 2025 Product of the Year from the NH Tech Alliance.
The BioAssembly Platform with BAB Intelligence from Advanced Solutions Life Sciences; PredictX and PredictLung from Bio-AI Health Inc., CrewHero from CrewHero Inc., the Laser Marking Tool from Lase-X; and YULLR from YULLR Inc. will be competing for top honors from 4 to 6:30 p.m., Nov. 20, at the Bank of New Hampshire Stage in Concord. The event will be streamed live on the NH Tech Alliance’s YouTube channel.

The finalists are:
The BioAssembly Platform from Advanced Solutions Life Sciences (ASLS) is the latest release of the BioAssemblyBot, a biofabrication/biomanufacturing robot used in the regenerative medicine industry to help repair or replace damaged or diseased tissues and organs.
The system — now powered with artificial intelligence to eliminate the need for programming — involves the integration of tissue incubation and imaging with the BioAssemblyBot to perform tissue manufacturing at the point of care, enabling hospitals to manufacture patient-specific therapeutic tissues for regenerative medicine applications.
CrewHero from CrewHero Inc., is a management software platform designed for service-based businesses, including landscaping companies, the inspiration for the platform. It’s designed to simplify daily operations by streamlining dispatch, fleet maintenance, communication, and time-off requests, people and asset databasing.
Frontline team members log in with a cell phone number, receive assignments in their native language, and stay directly connected to managers, their crew and company updates. The software is designed to assist growing service-based businesses that are scaling revenue with the ability to scale their operations at the same rate.
Laser Marking Tool from Lase-X enables manufacturers to embed compliant, machine-readable identifiers directly onto mission-critical components during production.
By automating serialization and eliminating paper record-keeping within existing processes, Lase-X aims to enhance traceability and strengthen supply chain transparency across regulated industries such as aerospace, defense, and medical devices.
PredictX and PredictLung from Bio-AI Health Inc. is an AI-powered digital biomarker test that can analyze digital pathology H&E (hematoxylin and eosin) and IHC (Immunohistochemistry) stained tissue biopsy images and predict a range of biomarkers.
The company has successfully developed prototype applications for a range of biomarkers in lung cancer. The goal of PredictLung is to rapidly identify biomarkers for patient tumor tissue at time of diagnosis, to guide them to the right drug therapy quicker.
YULLR from YULLR Inc. is an AI-powered video automation platform for skiing and mountain sports. Using in-house trained computer vision models built from tens of thousands of labeled frames, YULLR identifies, tracks, and tags athletes across multiple cameras in real time.
Designed for simplicity and engagement, YULLR connects cameras, timing and analytics through an intuitive dashboard. Its technology scales beyond ski racing to mountain biking, trail running, and snowboarding, providing real-time video and engagement year-round.
“Through the Product of the Year competition, we continue to see extraordinary talent and innovation thriving across New Hampshire,” said Julie Demers, executive director of the NH Tech Alliance, in a press release. “Each entry demonstrates what’s possible when creativity meets technology, and we’re proud to present that work to audiences throughout the U.S. and beyond.”
