Neural Digital Therapeutics - The Next Wave of Precision Medicine |
Emil Hewage, Co-Founder & CEO, BIOS Health | DNA sequencing opened up a new field of precision medicine; now, AI is doing the same for the nervous system. The brain sends our bodies vast amounts of information every second of every day, but currently there is no data-driven insight into the nervous system, meaning feedback on treatment efficacy can take months. The next wave of healthcare will be driven by neural interfaces and AI that, for the first time, can read and write the body's neural ‘code' to understand and correct those signals in real-time. Neural digital therapies will use read/write software to create more precise and effective pharmaceuticals, digital biomarkers, and even software-delivered treatments direct to the nervous system. |
