We’re excited to share that our CEO, Viral Sheth, fresh off his win of the Oregon Entrepreneurs NetworkDevelopment Stage Award, will be presenting at the Collaborative EDOPubTalks: Tap into Capital, this Thursday, 5-7 pm at Claim 52 Brewing in Eugene, OR.

Neurosom's CEO, Viral Sheth, accepted the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network Development Stage Award last Thursday night at the Hilton Hotel in Portland, Oregon. OEN has provided Neurosom™ with critical support and mentoring throughout 2025 as we advance our mission of personalized brain care, sleep therapy, and reduced dementia risk.

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience suggests that Alzheimer's disease disrupts the body's circadian rhythms, which in turn shut down genes that regulate proper brain function and the ability to clear the brain of waste and harmful materials, like amyloid plaques. Erik S. Musiek, MD, PhD, the Charlotte & Paul Hagemann Professor of Neurology at WashU Medicine, who led the study, finds hope in the new science.

Our CEO, Viral Sheth, will attend and says, "Thrilled to be named a finalist by OEN! At Neurosom, we’re working to redefine brain health and dementia prevention through sleep and personalized at-home neuromodulation. Recognition like this fuels our mission."

This incredible platform run by @Oregon Entrepreneur Network has given us much guidance this year in the form of regular workshop meetings with successful PNW CEOs, investors, and leaders in the business community, as well as opportunities to perfect our networking and pitching strategies. We have gained much insight and focus from this opportunity and have also enjoyed meeting this lovely group of supportive people. See OEN announcement: https://lnkd.in/gV5DAjtj

Rotem Falach, a PhD candidate in Professor Yuval Nir’s Lab at Tel Aviv University, will showcase how open-source analytics and HD EEG are advancing understanding of sleep-dependent memory consolidation and Alzheimer’s-related neurophysiology.

Neurosom sits at the intersection of brain health and digital therapeutics. With the Sleep WISP™, and our FDA-approved AI software, we can deliver clinical therapies for patients and, over time, wellness solutions for proactive brain care, making restorative sleep accessible at scale.

Every three seconds, someone in the world develops dementia. Current solutions fall short: medications sedate without restoring brain health, while consumer wearables only track sleep but don’t improve it.
Our Sleep WISP system is a simple, wearable headband that can be safely self-administered at home — but it does much more than track sleep. It monitors brain activity in real time using EEG.

As we approach the Bend Venture Conference on October 16 and 17, Neurosom™ is gearing up to share our mission to optimize sleep and reduce the risk of dementia. Our company was founded by neuroscientists who pioneered innovations in brain monitoring. Through studying the brain, scientists learned that deep sleep is essential for clearing toxic proteins from the brain through the glymphatic system, the brain’s waste removal pathway. When deep sleep is disrupted, glymphatic clearance fails, memory suffers, and neurodegeneration accelerates. 

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 brain toxin clearance, recently published in Science Direct, gives readers a deep dive into how improving sleep can reduce the risk of 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 metabolic 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.
