NeuroCatch, a leading medical device company that enables rapid access to an objective assessment of brain health at the point of care, has announced the release of PeakSelect, an innovative software tool designed to improve clinical decision making. An enhancement to the NeuroCatch Platform, PeakSelect allows users to evaluate specific brain vital sign responses for precision medicine in patients undergoing portable neuro-physiological brain function assessment.
“Since its inception, NeuroCatch has focused on delivering a simple, objective, economical platform to measure cognitive brain function, and PeakSelect further uplevels the value of the technology for healthcare professionals, researchers and those focused on performance optimisation,” said Dr Ryan D’Arcy, President and Chief Scientific Officer of NeuroCatch parent company HealthTech Connex. “The first of an ongoing cadence of planned software upgrades, PeakSelect enhances the impact of NeuroCatch’s brain health vital sign data to inform better clinical decision-making, more robust clinical trials, and more effective training regimes.”
While vital signs have long existed to measure and monitor the body’s basic functions – body temperature, pulse rate, respiration rate and blood pressure – as part of generally accepted healthcare practice, no such indicator has previously existed for brain health. Solving for this is NeuroCatch, a groundbreaking medical device that offers an objective evaluation of cognitive function, delivered in six minutes at the point of care, that measures and reports on brain responses, also known as event-related potentials (ERPs).
