BrainScope today announced that it has been awarded a research contract by the United States Department of Defense (DOD) valued at $4.5 million to create and integrate ocular capabilities into its handheld, multi-parameter mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) and concussion products.
rainScope’s initial product in the market, BrainScope One, is the first FDA-cleared medical device to offer capabilities to assess the full spectrum of brain injury – from concussions (functional abnormality) to brain bleeds (structural injury) using EEG and other parameters which together provide the clinician a panel of capabilities to help with their clinical diagnosis. With this research contract, BrainScope will add specific capabilities related to assessment of the patient’s eyes which will be incorporated in future versions of BrainScope’s products.
"We are extremely honored and humbled to receive this research contract to continue our work in partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense to develop these important assessment capabilities for concussion and mild traumatic brain injury," stated Michael Singer, CEO of BrainScope. “We understand the significant need to incorporate multiple parameters, all on a single device. Using our proprietary AI and multi-modal technologies, we will rapidly ramp up our efforts on this important project. We are greatly appreciative of the support the U.S. Military has shown BrainScope over the years and the opportunity to aid in the care of our service members.”
