This funding will enable us to significantly scale sales of our current medical devices, and also to extend our product portfolio through additional FDA approvals. Our technology offers an entirely new approach to treating serious global health challenges through safe, non-invasive neurostimulation."

£3.3M

The investment was led by Whiterock with participation from regional funds and angel backers.

"There is a substantial unmet need today in neuroscience clinical studies. Many study endpoints are measured with traditional pen and paper assessments which lack objective data about brain function. Biopharma companies need objective data to effectively establish baseline information about whether a drug is engaging with the region of the brain that a particular drug is targeting, whether a drug is effective, and informing which cohort of patients may benefit the most from a particular drug."
— Tina Sampath, Chief Executive
