Bringing non-invasive brain stimulation from the hospital to the home
Non-invasive brain stimulation is a widely-utilized, FDA cleared treatment used for patients diagnosed with depression, but is limited to a hospital setting due to the cost of the device, and complexity of treatment application. Our proprietary brain stimulation device allows patients to be treated directly from their home, with the same efficacy, and at a lower cost of treatment. Currently in FDA pivotal phase for Major Depressive Disorder, and Pilot phase for Alzheimer's and Parkinson diseases.
Actipulse Neuroscience is a neuro-tech company focused on research and engineering of non-invasive brain stimulation technologies for psychiatric and neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, with ambitions to become a standard in neuromodulation. They emphasize high-frequency magnetic pulse neuromodulation and a clinical pipeline across CNS disorders, backed by YC and operating from Paris/Cambridge, MA.
The company develops non-invasive brain stimulation devices that use high-frequency magnetic pulses to target pathogenic mechanisms in neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Their work spans clinical research and device engineering, with a pipeline that includes pre-clinical and clinical stages (e.g., Major Depressive Disorder Phase 3 pivotal study, oncology pre-clinical programs, and CNC/planned CNC stages).
Who it’s for: Healthcare providers and researchers in neuroscience and neurology, pharmaceutical/biotech collaborators, and institutions conducting CNS disorder trials; organizations seeking non-invasive neuromodulation therapies for psychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions.
Backed by Y Combinator; multiple clinical pipeline programs including Phase 3 pivotal study; global offices; investor relations communications
I am a serial entrepreneur (3+ startups), who has lived and worked in more than 8 countries. As the CEO of a medical-tech company, my goal is to democratize access to better and more affordable mental health therapeutics.
I am a MD/PhD in neuroscience. Passionate about applying technology to solve nervous system disorders. Frustrated (but self-taught!) engineer, industrial designer, and artist.
