As the digital health sector matures from basic tracking apps into highly regulated devices, there have been bleeding edge technologies being developed that blur the lines between computers and biology. The burgeoning field of neurotech involves brain-machine interfaces, neuroprosthetics, neurostimulation, neuromonitoring, and implantable devices intended to not only augment nervous system activity, but expand its capabilities. Brain health systems are leveraging measurements taken from a broader swath of the population owing to the power of cloud computing and hardware sensors. This analysis helps understand where an individual’s readings lie on the distribution curve of health to disease, allowing for better discernment of proper diagnoses and treatments.
Several companies are developing systems to actively monitor brain activity and respond in real-time with appropriate treatments. On a similar note, systems employing neural detection devices to monitor vehicle operator alertness and take preventative measures with driver stimulation or vehicle autopilot/shutdown systems are being developed. Whether treating PTSD and phobias through exposure therapy, or assisting surgeons in the operating room virtual reality treatments in conjunction with EEG and or tDCS is quickly gaining momentum. Technologies that can influence brain activity via magnetic fields or electrical impulses are also becoming increasingly common. Multiple hospitals and clinics already offer treatments based on brain stimulation.
At this juncture, there are a wide variety of companies entering the industry with a set of advanced neurotech solutions. To help companies navigate through the best-of-breed neurotech companies, Startup City has compiled a list of ‘Top 10 Neurotech Companies – 2021.’ The enlisted organizations offer innovative brain health and brain enhancement systems on the cutting edge. Besides, the magazine also comprises insights from thought leaders in the sector on the industry trends, best practices, recent innovations, and their advice for the aspiring CIOs.
