BRAIN.Q is Advancing Stroke Care Through Innovative Technologies
BRAIN.Q Recognized as a Tech Pioneer by WEF 2024 for Its Innovative Brain Health Platform to Treat Stroke Disability
First Patient Enrolled in BrainQ's Pivotal Trial, EMAGINE™, for Frequency-Tuned Electromagnetic Field Therapy to Reduce Disability Following Ischemic Stroke
BrainQ has enrolled the first patient in its EMAGINE Stroke Recovery Trial, which aims to evaluate the effectiveness of its frequency-tuned electromagnetic field treatment in facilitating recovery in individuals with moderately-severe ischemic stroke. The trial provides a remote and decentralized care model and will enroll 150 randomized subjects. The primary outcome measure is the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and the investigational therapy is intended to be used adjunctively with physical or occupational therapy. BrainQ aims to extend the window of opportunity for reducing disability from the acute phase to the sub-acute phase of stroke recovery. The trial has the potential to make a significant impact on the stroke survivor population suffering from long-term disability.

BrainQ raises $40M to transform stroke patient rehabilitation with its home therapy device
BrainQ, a medical technology company, has raised $40 million to bring its device for stroke rehabilitation to market. The device stimulates the damaged part of the brain and promotes self-repair. BrainQs technology has received a Breakthrough Device certification from the FDA and has shown promising results in studies. The device uses low-intensity magnetic field therapy to resonate in the brain and facilitate its endogenous recovery mechanisms. By targeting stroke-affected areas, the device promotes neuroplasticity and expedites recovery. BrainQ plans to conduct a larger-scale study with 12 sites, partnering with top hospitals and research organizations in the field of stroke rehabilitation. The recent funding round was led by Hanaco Ventures, with participation from Dexcel Pharma and Peregrine Ventures.

Israeli startup BrainQ has developed an innovative therapeutic platform for treating stroke victims using artificial brainwaves delivered through a wearable device. Clinical trials showed that 77% of subjects using the treatment recovered faster from strokes compared to those not using it. The treatment stimulates the nervous system to regrow and heal itself through electromagnetic radiation. The results of the study will be presented at the International Stroke Conference in late March. The therapy has the potential to extend the time period for corrective therapy delivery and be applicable to a larger patient population. BrainQ aims to bring their therapy to market and become the leading home-based neuro-therapeutics solution.

Electromagnetic stimulation may improve arm and hand function after spinal cord injury
BrainQ Technologies has granted a research grant to Ghaith Androwis, PhD, and Steven Kirshblum, MD, to study a potential treatment for arm and hand dysfunction in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury. The study aims to test the safety and effectiveness of a brain-computer interface-based electromagnetic field treatment. The researchers will use the BQ System to deliver noninvasive low-frequency electromagnetic field stimulation. The study will be conducted at multiple centers, including Kessler Foundation, The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, and Sheba Medical Center. The goal is to improve motor function and control in individuals with spinal cord injury and enhance their overall quality of life.

The article discusses BrainQ, a technology company based in Jerusalem. BrainQ is focused on developing an AI-based medical device that facilitates human motor recovery following neurological trauma. The device is a brain-computer interface (BCI) that uses AI to translate brain data into treatment for patients with spinal cord injury, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. The company has raised $8.8 million in funding and has been selected by Google as one of four companies expected to transform healthcare with AI. BrainQ is currently in clinical trials and aims to expand into the treatment of other conditions. The company plans to lease or sell the device to hospitals and clinics and eventually create a home device. BrainQ has patents granted in major markets and is collaborating with leading institutes in the US and Europe.
