Nia Therapeutics

Nia Therapeutics licenses patented algorithms from the University of Pennsylvania and develops its Smart Neurostimulation System (SNS), an AI-guided, closed-loop brain stimulation system. The system is being designed to listen to unique brain patterns, detect suspected periods of memory loss, and deliver customized neurostimulation therapy intended to rescue brain networks associated with memory.

Nia Therapeutics’ SNS captures and modulates distributed neural activity across 60 channels and four brain regions, giving the system a larger information footprint than currently marketed options. No implantable system is currently approved to enhance memory, although several clinically deployed deep brain stimulation platforms have been repurposed in investigational studies targeting memory circuits. The SNS treats episodic memory loss in adults with prior moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury and persistent memory deficits.
