NeuroServo has developed a brain wave capture device (EEG&aEEG) that combines the characteristics of being miniaturized, non-intrusive, portable, instant use, and motion-resistant.
Some altered of consciousness pathologies confronts physicians with a guessing game.
Failure to diagnose can result in over-treatment with unnecessary administration of anti-seizure medications or delays and under- treatment, both known to cause permanent brain damages. Some of those pathologies can only be confirmed by EEG.
Instant response EEGs are proven to improve the patient outcome while lowering the Length of Stay and costs.
VEEGix Instant response EEG has been designed for rapid patient assessment in ER and ICU.
NeuroServo is also developing algorithms for early detection of postoperative delirium, a condition affecting up to 70% of hospitalized patients aged 65 and over after a major surgery (source: Ely, ICM 2007), dangerous for the patient (permanent cognitive losses) and very expensive for the health system ($16,000 to $ 64,000 per patient) when diagnosed late.
