With no pre-market approval requirements, the rapidly growing veterinary medicine commercial market is our next step. Our early NurOx studies point to a major benefit from continuous monitoring of cerebral oxygenation during procedures.
We are currently developing two indications for the veterinary space: monitoring of animals under anesthesia and assessment of brain injuries after trauma.
Stroke is the fifth largest cause of death and a leading cause of long-term disability. Yet most drug candidates fail in the clinical stage.
One major problem is that researchers don't have the right tools to measure ischemic injury in small lab animals. Traditional techniques can only confirm a reduction in cerebral blood flow, but cannot predict subsequent infarct volume and/or neurological outcome.
NurOx, our powerful neuroimaging tool for preclinical models of neurological disorders such as ischemic stroke, offers an affordable alternative to MRIs and invasive imaging. NurOx empowers researchers to conduct wireless, real-time monitoring that predicts infarct volume and neurological outcome..
Our device has been used to gain a unique insight into the oxygenation of animal brains coming out of hibernation. This never-before-seen data offers immense potential to a better understanding of this physiological state.
We can customize our device to the unique physiology and biology of a wide range of wild animals.
