Novela Neurotech to participate in the 38th J. P. Morgan Healthcare Conference 2020

San Francisco, CA —

Novela Neurotech

, a neurotechnology company developing next-generation neural prosthesis for epilepsy treatment, will showcase its prototype system at the 38th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, January 13-16, 2020.

Millions of Americans suffer from epilepsy and do not respond to drug treatment. Novela is developing a wireless implantable system that monitors brain activity for signs of oncoming seizure activity, disrupts those activity patterns through electrical stimulation, and thus stop seizures in their track. The device, smaller than the tip of a finger, is production ready and

being tested

at the University of Toronto’s

Division of Comparative Medicine

in Ontario, Canada, and the

San Carlos Clinical Hospital

in Madrid, Spain.

“Many of today’s neurological disorders including epilepsy and depression are difficult to manage with medical drugs without side effects. Our neural prosthesis automatically corrects malfunctioning brain circuit activity, with the potential to transform patients’ lives. Novela is leading the development of a new era of neurological treatments called Dynamiceuticals, tailored to the dynamics of each person’s brain,” says Ray Iskander, co-founder and CEO of Novela.

The J. P. Morgan Healthcare Conference is one of the largest healthcare investment symposiums that brings together investors, emerging companies and technological inventors.

“We are excited to showcase our innovative technology to diverse stakeholders at the conference,” says Iskander.
