The RNS® System is an award-winning technology developed and
manufactured in Silicon Valley that has been recognized for its innovation. Similar to a pacemaker that monitors and responds to heart
rhythms, the RNS System is the first and only medical device that
can monitor and respond to brain activity. It constantly monitors
brainwaves-including during sleep-looking for unusual activity
that may lead to a seizure.
The device is personalized to recognize the electrical patterns
specific to a recipient's brain, rapidly identifying unusual activity that can lead to a seizure. Within milliseconds of detecting
unusual activity, the device sends brief pulses to instantly disrupt this activity and normalize brainwaves, often before seizure
symptoms are felt.
The RNS® System consists of a small, implantable neurostimulator connected to leads (tiny wires) that are placed in up to two
seizure onset areas. It comes with a simple remote monitor that
recipients use at home to wirelessly collect information from the
neurostimulator and then transfer it to the Patient Data Management System (PDMS).The doctor can log into the PDMS at any
time to review accurate, ongoing information about seizure activity and treatment progress. This helps the doctor learn more
about the recipient's seizures and improve care. Find out more

MC10 uses cutting-edge technology to create the most intelligent, flexible platform for biometric healthcare analytics. Our
hardware and software systems are uniquely designed to minimize burden and maximize health insights.
Traditional electronic devices are rigid, bulky, and fundamentally mismatched to the properties of the human body. MC10
products are thin and flexible, and built to stretch, bend, and twist
seamlessly with our bodies and the world around us.
MC10's software platform consists of a complete end-to-end
system with mobile interfaces, cloud storage, and analytical tools.
Lean, agile software development allows us to create robust systems to support the high volume of data gathered by the BioStamp® and WiSP™ platforms. Using the most powerful tools in
big data analytics and machine learning, MC10's software translates the body's data into a language understandable to humans.
MC10's technology empowers all of us to better understand
our bodies and work towards improving human health.
MC10 is a private company backed by a strong syndicate of
financial and strategic investors that is improving human health
through digital healthcare solutions. The company combines its
proprietary ultra-thin, flexible body-worn sensors with advanced
analytics to unlock health insights from physiological data.
MC10 has received widespread recognition for its revolutionary technology and was recently named in Fast Company's Most
Innovative Companies in 2016 as a leader in healthcare. MC10
is headquartered in Lexington, MA, USA. Visit MC10 online at
