On October 2, 2024, hosts of the Skeptics’ Guide to Emergency Medicine podcast featured EPISODE principal investigator, Dr. James Paxton to discuss the qualities and results of the pilot phase of the EPISODE study. The SGEM podcast is affiliated with the Society of Academic Emergency Medicine has a 12 year international following, and is 4.5 star rated. The podcast is part of the Free Open Access to Meducation, providing medical education to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Opening the episode, the hosts reminded the audience that prehospital identification of stroke remains a significant challenge in stroke care. Effective tools to address this…

The FDA has awarded a Breakthrough Device Designation for MindRhythm’s Harmony headset embedded with HeadPulse technology. The function of MindRhythm’s Harmony device is to aid in the assessment of suspected stroke patients in the prehospital setting to determine whether the patient may have a large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke. LVO strokes are among the most debilitating types of strokes. The FDA describes the Breakthrough Devices Program as “a voluntary program for certain medical devices and device-led combination products that provide for more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions.” The program considers the potential for…

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — MindRhythm Inc, in collaboration with the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), announces publication of the manuscript titled “Analysis of HeadPulse Biometric Measures Following Concussion in Young Adult Athletes” released today in the journal, JAMA Network Open. The findings indicate that digital measurement of the HeadPulse, using MindRhythm’s proprietary headset, provides an objective measure of concussion status. The HeadPulse, discovered by MindRhythm and researchers at UCSF, provides evidence of normal and abnormal brain function in a variety of neurological conditions. Results suggest that HeadPulse is the first digital biometric that can be used to…

In an article published by EMS World back in June of 2021, it was postulated that MindRhythm’s rapid, disposable, noninvasive Harmony headset could detect Large Vessel Occlusion strokes in the field.  At the time, MindRhythm had preliminary, hospital-based data suggesting the device could accurately identify LVO strokes.  However, the company felt strongly that it was important to engage in a prehospital trial to demonstrate efficacy in the arena in which the device would be used. Since that time, MindRhythm has partnered with EMS facilities in multiple states as well as their respective receiving hospitals to collect initial data to support its hypotheses…

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA, USA, June 20, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — MindRhythm Inc, in partnership with Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan, today announced that the first patient has been enrolled in the pivotal portion of its HeadPulse for Ischemic Stroke Detection Prehospital Study (EPISODE-VS). EPISODE-VS is designed to validate that the use of MindRhythm’s proprietary Harmony headset can rapidly identify large vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic strokes in the prehospital setting to optimize triage and improve stroke outcomes.  “Stroke is the leading cause of sudden disability and the fifth leading cause of death in the US,” said John Keane, Co-Founder and CEO of…

Days after Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse prompted customers to line up in order to get their money out, the California bank is asking them to come back. “The number one thing you can do to support the future of this institution is to help us rebuild our deposit base, both by leaving deposits with Silicon Valley Bridge Bank and transferring back deposits that left over the last several days,” said Tim Mayopoulos, the bank’s new CEO, in a note posted on the company’s LinkedIn page.

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, March 16, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — MindRhythm Inc, in partnership with Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan, today announces the first publication of results from the hEadPulse for Ischemic StrOke DEtection Prehospital Study (EPISODE-PS) trial.  The EPISODE-PS trial was designed to evaluate the use of MindRhythm’s proprietary Harmony headset technology for identifying large vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic strokes in the prehospital setting. It is believed that the EPISODE-PS study is the first stroke device study to target patients in the prehospital environment, testing the theory that this device can detect LVO ischemic strokes even…

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, February 14, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — MindRhythm Inc, in partnership with Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit, Michigan, today announces the conclusion of phase I and initiation of the pivotal portion of its hEadPulse for Ischemic StrOke DEtection Prehospital Study (EPISODE-VS). The EPISODE trial is designed to evaluate the use of MindRhythm’s proprietary Harmony headset technology for identifying large vessel occlusion (LVO) ischemic strokes in the prehospital setting. In previous studies, cranial accelerometry, the primary technology used in the Harmony headset, has been shown to reliably detect LVO in hospitalized patients suspected of experiencing an ischemic stroke.…
