Past deals in EEG

NeuroServo

Seed Round in 2023
NeuroServo has developed VEEGix, an innovative miniaturized prefrontal electroencephalogram (EEG) device tailored for emergency use in Intensive Care Units. Unlike traditional EEGs, which require extensive setup by technicians and neurologists, often leading to delays of up to four hours, VEEGix can be quickly installed by nursing staff to deliver immediate brain status assessments within a minute. This device is designed to function as an emergency EEG, crucial for timely intervention in critical cases where treatment windows are extremely short, thereby reducing the risk of permanent brain damage. Additionally, VEEGix serves as a cerebral monitoring tool for patients under sedation, enhancing patient care in high-stakes medical environments.
