 A medical company hopes a clinical study on one of its devices will help efforts to reduce drug prescriptions that have played a role in fueling the state’s opioid epidemic. Cleveland-based Innovative Medical Equipment was among the seven 2017 recipients of funding from an Ohio Third Frontier Commission initiative seeking new technological solutions to address the opioid crisis. 

 Ohio Third Frontier awarded $1.9 million to businesses and institutions in Cuyahoga County to fight the opioid epidemic. "This is an opportunity to save lives," David Goodman, director of the Ohio Development Services Agency and chair of the Ohio Third Frontier Commission, said in a news release.
