INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
BrainQ, an Israel-based startup that aims to help stroke victims and those with spinal cord injuries treat their injuries with the help of a
personalized electromagnetic treatment protocol, today announced that it has raised a $5.3 million funding round on top of the $3.5 million
the company previously raised
The company investors include Qure Ventures, crowdfunding platform OurCrowd.com, Norma Investments, IT-Farm and a number of angel investors,
includingValtech Cardio founder and CEO Amir Gross.
When we last talked to BrainQ earlier this year, the team was working on two human
clinical trials for stroke patients in Israel
At that time, the company had closed its first funding round and had also recently started to work with Google Launchpad Accelerator,
too.
The general idea behind BrainQ is to use the patient brainwaves to generate a tailored treatment protocol
No AI company would be complete without data — it what drives these algorithms, after all — and the company says it owns one the largest
Brain Computer Interface-based EEG databases for motor tasks
It that database that allows it to interpret the patient brain waves and generate its treatment protocol.
