MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NeuroPace, Inc., a Silicon Valley-based medical technology company that developed the world’s first and only closed-loop brain-responsive neurostimulation system for epilepsy, today announced the launch of the new RNS® Tablet—an innovative way for clinicians to review their patients’ electrocorticographic (ECoG) data and personalize therapy. The Tablet will be on display and available for use during hands-on workshops at the American Epilepsy Society’s (AES) Annual Meeting in Washington D.C. from December 1-5 at booth 1101.
“Since its inception, the RNS System has provided physicians unprecedented access to information about their patients’ brain activity,” said NeuroPace CEO Frank Fischer. “The RNS Tablet provides quicker access to this information with the data presented in formats that are easily understandable and actionable by physicians. As a result, physicians will be able to optimize patient therapy more efficiently.”
The RNS Tablet was designed in partnership with clinicians to provide a simpler, smarter, and faster user experience. Product enhancements allow clinicians to review and analyze data more quickly, garner a deeper understanding of their patients’ brain activity, and increase clinical workflow efficiency.
“Having access to patient data in a centralized, easy-to-use interface is invaluable when monitoring patient progress and personalizing therapy,” says Dr. Vikram Rao, Epileptologist at UCSF Medical Center.
The Tablet, which boasts an intuitive touchscreen and color interface that automatically connects to the internet, also features:
- Simpler: An integrated, wireless platform that combines the traditional NeuroPace Programmer and online Patient Data Management System (PDMS) into a singular interface.
- Smarter: An interactive, customizable visual histogram that displays trends in neurostimulator and ECoG data to enable meaningful insights.
- Faster: Various upgrades that decrease the number of clicks needed to program, including the ability to copy stimulation settings to all five treatments with one click.

About the NeuroPace RNS® System
The RNS System is the
world’s first and only closed-loop brain-responsive neurostimulation
system designed to prevent epileptic seizures at their source. The RNS
System treats seizures by continuously monitoring brain waves, detecting
unusual activity, and automatically responding with imperceptible
electrical pulses before seizures occur. Physicians can program the
detection and stimulation parameters of the implanted RNS
neurostimulator to personalize therapy for each individual. The RNS®
System is an adjunctive therapy for adults with refractory, partial
onset seizures with no more than 2 epileptogenic foci. See important

About NeuroPace
NeuroPace is an innovative medical device
company dedicated to improving quality of life for individuals with
medically refractory partial onset seizures. In addition to treating
epilepsy, responsive neurostimulation holds the promise of treating
other disabling neurological, psychiatric, and chronic disorders that
negatively impact quality of life for millions of patients throughout
the world.
