We believe that Brain Health product development, regulatory/reimbursement readiness and clinical trials deserve passionate advocacy, expert mentorship and targeted funding.
Mechanical and material methods to improve brain health outcomes in products such as helmets and technologies to detect brain injury exist but advocacy, funding and mentorship is lacking to help advance these technologies across regulatory/reimbursement milestones and thru commercially relevant testing hurdles. Anti-inflammatory, cell therapy & other novel approaches to reducing brain fog, syncope, headache, fatigue from conditions such as long COVID or concussions exist but funding for clinical trials is needed. New stimulation devices are being developed for improving activities of daily living in MS and Parkinson’s patients but often require further evidentiary study to generate insurance reimbursement. Brain health clinical trials are second only to oncology clinical trials in terms of their cost.
Novel and Re-Purposed Solutions are available, Market Players are interested
Interventions & therapies FDA approved or CE cleared for other (non Brain Health) indications exist (ranging from off-the-shelf devices and repurposed diagnostic tools to known supplements like N-acetyl-cysteine or to studied tools like neurofeedback and hyperbaric oxygen) that are of probable clinical benefit or known, safe potential. More than thirty percent of football-related concussive impacts are to the front of the face, unaddressed by traditional helmets but easily addressed with innovative, turn-key technologies constructed with re-purposed materials. Therapeutics exist to help prevent and mitigate disease progression from neurodegeneration, but many have side effect profiles or limited efficacy in specific populations. We’re working with entrepreneurs to reduce the impact of these injuries & conditions while expanding targeted market efforts to at-risk, vulnerable populations.
We’re also supporting innovative tech portfolios to reach end-users and to become commercially available. Some of this work involves connectivity to larger strategics, manufacturers and/or potential acquirers who are passionate about and/or committed to markets that help keep people safe in-sport & in-life.
