Looks like a week where technology is finding unique intersections with the life sciences. Earlier this week, we showcased ANSYS software being used to simulate aneurysms. Now we have Neuro Kinetics’ technology detecting certain types of brain trauma.
With record numbers of American soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with brain injuries, a case study from Neuro Kinetics, Inc. (NKI) suggests that tests utilizing its I-Portal® NOTC (Neuro-Otologic Test Center) system can generate results that may indicate mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) that are not detected by other evaluation technologies.
NKI manufactures noninvasive medical test equipment used worldwide in the evaluation of balance, vestibular and neurological disorders.
The details of the new case study are available on NKI’s Web site. The findings are being presented today at an American Balance Society conference in Scottsdale, AZ.
