Integrating music, movement and stroke rehabilitation, MedRhythms raises $25M to develop and commercialize digital therapeutic

August 2, 2021 by SharpBrains

MedRhythms rais­es 25m to get patients back in tune after a stroke (TechCrunch):

MedRhythms secured $25 mil­lion in Series B fund­ing to advance its dig­i­tal ther­a­py plat­form aimed at mea­sur­ing and improv­ing someone’s abil­i­ty to walk after they have expe­ri­enced a neu­ro­log­ic injury or dis­ease … Com­pa­ny co-founder and CEO Bri­an Har­ris was a neu­ro­log­ic music fel­low at Spauld­ing Reha­bil­i­ta­tion Hos­pi­tal in Boston, treat­ing peo­ple with stroke and brain deficits with music. He began get­ting ques­tions from patients and fam­i­lies on how they could access sim­i­lar care out­side of the hos­pi­tal. Not see­ing a suit­able alter­na­tive, he start­ed MedRhythms with entre­pre­neur Owen McCarthy in 2016.

Chi­na launch­es brain-imag­ing fac­to­ry (Nature):

“Neu­ro­sci­en­tists who painstak­ing­ly map the twists and turns of neur­al cir­cuit­ry through the brain are about to see their field expand to an indus­tri­al scale. A huge facil­i­ty set to open in Suzhou, Chi­na, next month should trans­form high-res­o­lu­tion brain map­ping, its devel­op­ers say.

Transcript: Dr. Gary Small on Enhancing Memory and the Brain

November 1, 2011 by SharpBrains

Below you can find the full tran­script of our engag­ing Q&A ses­sion today on mem­ory, mem­ory tech­niques and brain-healthy lifestyles with Dr. Gary  Small, Direc­tor of UCLA’s Mem­ory Clin­ic and Cen­ter on Aging, and author of The Mem­ory Bible. You can learn more about his book  Here, and learn more about upcom­ing Brain Fit­ness Q&A Ses­sions Here.

Per­haps one of the best ques­tions and answers was:

2:55
Ques­tion: Gary, you’ve worked many years in this field. Let us in on the secret. What do YOU do you, per­son­al­ly, to pro­mote your own brain fitness?
2:57
Answer: I try to get at least 30 min­utes of aer­o­bic con­di­tion­ing each day; try to min­i­mize my stress by stay­ing con­nect­ed with fam­i­ly and friends; gen­er­al­ly eat a brain healthy diet (fish, fruits, veg­eta­bles), and try to bal­ance my online time with my offline time. Which reminds me, I think it is almost time for me to sign off line. [Read more…] about Tran­script: Dr. Gary Small on Enhanc­ing Mem­o­ry and the Brain
