Using specialized silicone electrodes, it captures and interprets EEG data, serving as a passive and continuous tool for screening neurological conditions.

Nextsense Inc. reported partnerships with global biopharma company UCB SA, Heraus Holding GmbH, the University of California San Diego and Emory University at its first public appearance at the American Epilepsy Society Annual Meeting in Chicago this past weekend.
