Rhea-AI Summary
Tivic Health Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: TIVC) has entered a research collaboration with The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research to conduct a pilot clinical study on a non-invasive bioelectronic device for vagus nerve stimulation. This collaboration aims to understand the on- and off-target effects of non-invasive vagal stimulation, with a study involving 20 participants and data analysis from the Neural and Data Science Autonomic Nervous System monitoring lab. Tivic's CEO, Jennifer Ernst, expressed optimism about expanding their bioelectronic solutions to include vagus nerve pathways, which could enhance their proprietary offerings in the field. The study represents a strategic step toward validating new treatment approaches for autonomic conditions.
Positive
Collaboration with The Feinstein Institutes enhances credibility in bioelectronic medicine research.
Potential expansion into vagus nerve stimulation could diversify and strengthen Tivic's product offerings.
Positive outlook from leadership indicating proprietary value in ongoing research.
Negative
None.
SAN FRANCISCO & MANHASSET, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Tivic Health® Systems, Inc. (“Tivic”) (Nasdaq: TIVC), a commercial-phase health technology company that develops and commercializes bioelectronic medicine, today announced a research collaboration with The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research to conduct a pilot clinical study that will test a novel non-invasive bioelectronic device approach for vagus nerve stimulation.
“Establishing on- and off-target effects of non-invasive vagal stimulation remains a major goal in the field of bioelectronic medicine,” said Theodoros Zanos, Ph.D., associate professor in the Institute of Bioelectronic Medicine at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research. “Refinement of the strategies used to stimulate the vagus nerve non-invasively could be an important step in validating a novel approach to the treatment of autonomic conditions. This study may provide greater targeting strategies of stimulation and more control over the types of physiologic effects that result from stimulation.”
The pilot study will utilize a new neurostimulation approach with 20 individuals, along with data analysis and algorithm development acquired from the Neural and Data Science Autonomic Nervous System monitoring lab.
“The Feinstein Institutes is the internationally recognized leader in pioneering bioelectronic medicine research,” said Jennifer Ernst, CEO at Tivic. “We’re excited about this study because it has the possibility for Tivic to expand our non-invasive bioelectronic solutions from trigeminal and sympathetic nerve stimulation to vagus nerve pathways and clinical uses. Dr. Blake Gurfein, our Chief Scientific Officer, and Dr. Zanos are neuroscience colleagues who believe this work could provide great proprietary value.”
