Neunos Ltd is combining the latest advances of neuroscience with cutting-edge microelectronic approaches in order to provide a therapeutic solution based on oscillatory interference with ongoing neuronal network activity. We develop a minimally-invasive, implantable seizure suppression system, which automatically detects the onset of epileptic seizures and promptly terminates them by transcranial electrical stimulation before fatal accidents evolve. Treating epileptic seizures is our main focus, however we are continuously looking for new opportunities and alternative perspectives to deepen our knowledge in neuropsychiatric disorders, and find new non-pharmaceutical therapeutic approaches. Join us in making an impact by changing lives today.
