Client Success Stories: Advancing Neurological Diagnostics with Innovative IoT Solutions

At Rx Device Consulting, we are dedicated to partnering with startups that are pushing the boundaries of medical technology. One of our recent collaborations involved a groundbreaking neurology startup developing a portable device capable of quantifying the central nervous system's (CNS) reflex time. This innovative device, which applies a mechanical stimulus and uses a high-speed camera to detect and quantify the motor activity response, has the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis and monitoring of various CNS disorders, including concussions. Here’s how we helped bring this visionary product to life.

Developing the Core Software for a Breakthrough Device

Our partnership with the neurology startup centered on the development of the device’s control and data management software. This software is the heart of the device, acting as the primary user interface and controlling the hardware components that deliver the mechanical stimulus and capture the corresponding motor response.

We worked closely with the company’s internal development team, as well as other external consultants, to ensure seamless integration of all system components.

A critical aspect of our work involved integrating computer vision software developed by an external partner. This software is key to accurately analyzing the high-speed camera footage and quantifying the motor response to the applied stimulus.

Additionally, we implemented functionality that allows the device to communicate patient and scan data to a cloud platform, enabling later review and management of patient workflows. This integration of IoT and connected systems not only enhances the device’s capabilities but also improves the overall user experience by streamlining data management and analysis.

Ensuring Compliance with FDA Regulations

Bringing a novel medical device to market requires meticulous attention to regulatory compliance, particularly with FDA requirements. We provided comprehensive documentation in accordance with the FDA’s design controls regulation, which is critical for ensuring that the software development process is well-documented and meets all necessary standards.

The software and accompanying documentation we developed played a pivotal role in the company’s successful 510(k) submission, a key step in commercializing the device. Our expertise in regulatory affairs, combined with our technical capabilities, helped the startup navigate the complex regulatory landscape and move closer to bringing their innovative neurological diagnostic tool to the market.

Transforming Neurological Diagnostics with Cutting-Edge Technology

Through our collaboration, the neurology startup has made significant strides in developing a device that has the potential to transform how neurological disorders are diagnosed and monitored. By quantifying CNS reflex times with precision, this portable device offers healthcare providers a powerful tool for assessing and managing conditions like concussions, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
