A new study published in Neurology, following 2750 cognitively healthy adults over six years, found that participants with chronic insomnia were 40% more likely to develop cognitive impairment or dementia compared to those without the sleep disorder.

Neurosom™ is extremely honored to have been chosen as a Development Stage Finalist for the Oregon Entrepreneur Network Awards. We are proud to share our vision for better brain health and to be recognized among the best and brightest in Oregon's entrepreneurial community.

Last night at the "On the Road to BVC" event at Worthy Brewery in Bend, Viral joined other company founders to deliver a 3 minute pitch to judges and a live audience. When the votes were counted, we were grateful to be chosen among so many other great Oregon entrepreneurs. We look forward to having the opportunity to share our vision for Sleep Therapy and reducing dementia risk at the Bend Venture Conference, which happens October 16-17 in beautiful downtown Bend.

Join us for the PubTalk event this Thursday, September, 25th at Worthy Brewing in Bend, OR, on the road to BVC, where our CEO Viral Sheth will join other competitors in delivering a three-minute pitch to a live audience. The audience, along with a panel of judges, will decide who gets to present at the Tower Theater during the Bend Venture Conference October 16-17, 2025.

New informative article: "Better Sleep Could Help Your Brain Flush Out Dementia-Linked Toxins". This well-written description of glymphatic clearance recently published in Science Direct gives readers a deep dive into how improving sleep can reduce the risk for Dementia.

The lengthy study by authors Lutz, Harkotte, and Born states, in the abstract, "A promising new area arising from this research pertains to brain-stimulation techniques developed to enhance memory consolidation during human sleep."

Thanks to Launch Oregon for a fantastic event last week. Our CEO Viral Sheth and our founder and chairman Don Tucker shared their vision for Sleep Therapy and reducing dementia risk with this group supporting business through innovative research.

A terrific article in last month’s Scientific American highlights the connection between poor-quality sleep and a heightened risk of dementia.

Here, Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains the link between poor sleep and an increased risk for dementia, and what the phrase glymphatic clearance means.

Scientists studied EEG patterns in elderly subjects and, with the assistance of AI, found a correlation between irregular EEG activity and mild cognitive impairment. The future utility of EEG in the detection of neurodegenerative illness opens an area of keen interest, as current diagnostic methods often do not detect MCI until it has progressed to dementia.

✔ FDA clearance of NEAT sleep staging software
✔ Sleep WISP™ in use with KOLs at Institutions like Mount Sinai, Wake Forest University, Oregon Health and Science University, Northwestern University and the Sleep and Brain Clinic in Menlo Park
✔ FDA clearance for Sourcerer (source localization) software
✔ Phase II National Institute of Aging (NIA) funding for effectiveness of Sleep WISP therapy on Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

We truly connected with so many experienced, dedicated people who shared our vision of changing the future of brain health care with the Sleep WISP™. Thank you!

NEAT uses artificial intelligence (AI) to classify sleep stages from the sleep EEG accurately. It can be used in two modes: online (near-real time) and offline. Neurosom™, the BEL partner company that provides personalized closed-loop neuromodulation therapy to lower the risk of dementia, uses NEAT as a core part of its technology.

Neurosom™ will be presenting at LSI USA ‘25, taking place March 17-21 at the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club in Dana Point, California. During the event, our CEO, Viral Sheth, will present our Sleep WISP™ device, a personalized neuromodulation therapy to reduce the risk of dementia.

Roma Shusterman, Allison C. Waters, Shannon O’Neill, Marshall Bangs, Phan Luu, and Don M. Tucker published “An active inference strategy for prompting reliable responses from large language models in medical practice” in the renowned journal Digital Medicine.

We are thrilled to announce that Neurosom has been selected to pitch at the MedTech Innovator West Coast Pitch Event this March 5th and 6th! We’re excited to showcase our innovation in medtech and share how we’re making an impact.
Viral Sheth, CEO, will speak about our innovative Sleep WISP technology at the largest accelerator for medical device companies.
Looking forward to connecting with judges, investors, and fellow entrepreneurs. See you there!

A new study published in the journal Cell reveals the methodology of how the brain clears harmful plaques like amyloid and tau, and how using the sleep aid zolpidem (Ambien) can block this clearance. During non-REM sleep, a process called glymphatic clearance occurs, in which the brain flushes out harmful plaques.

BEL submits NEAT sleep staging software for 510(k) clearance. Following the success of receiving FDA 510(k) clearance for its SOURCERER source estimation software in October 2024, BEL, a prominent neuroscience technology company, submitted its NEAT sleep staging software for FDA review and approval for 510(k) clearance last week. NEAT is an innovative medical device software application that uses machine learning to streamline the identification of different sleep stages post-EEG acquisition.
