About SENSOMEDICAL

SENSOMEDICAL was established by Maroun Farah in 2014. Building on his extensive experience as an R&D Manager and CTO of Alpha Omega – a leading neuroscience-based medical device development company, he amalgamated an impressive and multi-faceted team of experts to create and develop products that democratize Neuroscience technologies – commercializing them for market in the most cost-effective and timely way possible and steering them through the procurement of FDA and CE approvals.

What gives SENSOMEDICAL the edge over competitors?

Three KEY FACTORS:

MULTI-DISCIPLINARY Expertise!
Ready-for-your-use TECHNOLOGICAL PLATFORMS – BIOPOT3 and BIOCHEM ( + BIOSTIM in the pipeline … ) specifically designed for developing wearable Neuro Products.
In house capabilities for the quick development of invasive and implantable neuro-monitoring and neuro-stimulation electrodes and active implants.

These proprietary Technological Platforms are revolutionary for speeding up the process of transforming our clients’ NeuroScience embryonic research and ideas into fully fledged commercial, marketable Neuro Products. They radically reduce costs, ensure much faster time to market (in just a few months) and encompass limitless application potential.

This fast track forward is realized through our accumulated experience and proven track record in the fields of Neuroscience Technologies, wearable ultra low power and minimization technologies and Neurosurgeries, utilizing many unique methods for fast product development – heavily aided by our team’s multi-disciplinary expertise in a wide vista of fields:

Multi-Disciplinary Expertise

Biomedical Engineering, Neurology, Neuroscience/ Neuro-stimulation/ Neuro-monitoring, Electro-Physiology, Electrodes design, Software, Electronics & Mechanical design, Neuroscience Technology, Materials Engineering, Electrochemistry and Software Systems Architecture and Programming.

In a nutshell: Realization of YOUR research and ideas – transforming your embryonic innovations into finalized Neuro Products and bringing them to market faster, safer and more economically than you could have dreamed.

Main Markets of Activity

Alzheimers
Anxiety
Dementia
Depressive Disorders
Epilepsy
Multiple Sclerosis
Obesity

Digital health

The direct cost of brain disorders on global health care systems is tremendous – in the US alone it is estimated to be around $700b. Medicines were intended to be the first line of combat, but they are failing. At the same time Health care systems are becoming unsustainable, resulting in a direct need to bring medical devices into the community.

Thus the goal today in Neuroscience is to discover new solutions for as yet unmet problems, but at the same time also optimize costs by finding cheaper solutions, and the main emphasis must be on earlier diagnosis which leads to earlier treatment that can avoid hospitalizations. This is why Neuro Science innovators are now taking center stage while SENSOMEDICAL brings their research and ideas to fruition in the form of practical, comfortable, “analyzable” wearable Neuro Products and active implants that treat, diagnose, process, analyze and store the accumulated data – to aid in the determination of the desired medical solution – including the all-important treatment, diagnosis, drug optimization and discovery – to alleviate the ailment or further aid research based scientific processes.

Our Clients

Our esteemed client base incorporates prominent Neuro Scientists, Clinicians and Entrepreneurs from Start-ups, SMEs, Research Facilities and Corporations operating in 3 major sectors: Therapy – device developers who not only acquire signals but can provide treatment to the nervous system for remedial purposes (e.g. electrical, magnetic, drugs, …etc); Neuro Pharma – devices used to monitor and optimize the effect of drugs during drug discovery or application; Monitoring & Sensing – usually Scientists or Start-ups who need to be able to interface to the body and acquire multi-dimentional sensing and signals from the brain or the nervous system.

As strict confidentiality and NDAs are customary practice in the R&D and manufacturing arena, we are bound by strict NDA agreements that prevent us from publishing the names of our clients, or disclosing their innovative projects. We assure that you will receive the same iron-clad commitment from us if you choose to become a client. Therefore, all we are permitted to do is offer you a general outline of the Market Segments for which SensoMedical is proud to have developed and manufactured Neuro Products during the last 7 years of operation:

Neuro-prosthetics / Neuro-stimulation
Many EEG wearable and EMG devices
Neuroscience technology
Bio-sensing Wearables
Electrochemical and Bio-impedance Wearables
Electro-physiology monitoring and stimulation
Multiple Electrodes Skin surface, Hair penetrating and invasive
Neuro Active-Implants (stimulators, monitors)
Neurosurgeries and Surgical delivery tools

Quality Assurance and Process

SENSOMEDICAL is ISO13485:2016 certified. We have also steered some of our clients’ finalized products through FDA and CE regulatory processes and received approvals, and some are in the process. All of our development and manufacturing processes are fully compatible with ISO 13485 and FDA and CE requirements. Our R&D and manufacturing processes include:

All of the above processes are drastically reduced in time if using our BIOPOT3 & BIOCHEM data, design and documentation.
