In 2005, we were founded on a unified belief that neuromodulation could be used in novel ways to help patients break free from treatments they aren’t happy with. Because different modalities of neuromodulation had previously proven to be effective and safe, we recognized an opportunity to be the leader in this new frontier of medicine and took it head on. Our mission is simple—help patients across the globe who suffer from pain and chronic conditions. We are doing this by harnessing the power of nVNS, innovation, and technology to develop safe and clinically backed treatments. Bringing new treatments to market will help improve patients​ treatment options and lives.
