NeuroSystems' R&D
department continues to work closely with neurosurgeons and other physicians to
develop innovative neuromonitoring products. The Company's first product,
NeuroSystems 1™ is the result of over 5 years of
R&D that culminated in the first clinically relevant multimodality neuromonitor.
NeuroSystems 1
was also designed as a platform technology that will evolve to provide real-time
remote patient monitoring as well as wireless connections to other monitors and
multi-sensor probes.

TeleMonitor™
Real-time Remote Neuromonitoring
In intensive care environments, remote patient monitoring
(sometimes referred to as Telemedicine) has been shown to lower mortality rates,
complication rates, length of stay, and healthcare costs. In a pilot telemedicine
study at Johns Hopkins, four critical care specialists remotely monitored a 10-bed
surgical ICU. The results of that study were dramatic: death rates dropped by
over 45 percent, complications by over 40 percent, length of stay over 30 percent,
and costs by over 32 percent.
In a Neurosurgical ICU, access to the right information by the right specialist
at the right time is critical to managing patients. The TeleMonitor
module will seamlessly integrate into NeuroSystems
1 to provide "anytime, anywhere" access
to the same information that is available through the current NeuroSytems
1 monitor. Clinicians will be able to securely
access NeuroSystems 1
through a secure Wifi-enabled PDA or through their own laptop or desktop computers.

Wireless ICU Monitoring
For the past 15+ years, ICP monitoring has been the standard
of care in the Neuro ICU. With the current trend toward multimodality monitoring,
devices that measure ICP, CBF, pBTO2, ETCO2, and other parameters will surely
be present in the ICU. Since it is the relationships between and among the various
monitored parameters that are of most interest to clinicians, these devices must
ultimately be connected to a multimodality neuromonitor such as NeuroSystems
1. Making these connections wireless makes treating
and transporting the patient less cumbersome and less error-prone.
NeuroSystems
has developed prototypes demonstrating that virtually any existing monitor will
be able to communicate with NeuroSystems 1.
Analog Wireless
Our analog wireless device will couple a small A/D converter with a wireless modem
that uses 256-bit encryption to ensure patient data is secure and HIPAA compliant.
Digital Wireless
Our digital wireless device uses the same wireless modem and 256-bit encryption
as our analog device to ensure secure, HIPAA compliant data transfer from the
source device to NeuroSystems 1. This device will interface with any monitor that
has an RS-232 or USB output.

Multisensor Probes
Multimodality neuromonitoring is unquestionably the future
standard of care for traumatic brain injury and cerebrovascular disease. NeuroSystems
multi-sensor probes will replace many of today's single-parameter sensors and
monitors, making multimodality monitoring simple and efficient.
