Medical Device Company Received a New Application That Helps Surgeons Navigate Neural Implant Insertion

Established in 2000, BrainsGate is a medical device company committed to developing innovative therapies for patients suffering from Central Nervous System (CNS) diseases. BrainsGate's platform technology involves electrical stimulation of the Sphenopalatine Ganglion (SPG), a nervous center known to increase cerebral blood flow. The Client doesn’t have their own software developers and expected a vendor to provide a high level of service and develop the application that would be used during very sensitive surgery.

The created software fully emulates and presents to a surgeon in 3D view everything that is happening while inserting the implant. The application is a part of the hardware and software complex that consists of a special camera, implant injector, optical markers, and CT marker. This is a very complicated solution that shows the patient’s head and the position of the implant in real-time. ​

The Intetics team helped the Client to build the solution with FDA-required parameters. The new solution enables the Client to certify the whole hardware and software complex and start selling it in US clinics. The Client is running the ImpACT-24b, a multi-national study to provide the treatment in a 24/7 mode. The solution implementation was done within 12 months.
