Jan medical, which is located in Mountain View, California, recently has raised $ 7.5 million from Germany, Brain lab medical company as the cost of the research and development of the diagnosis connected devices for nervous system diseases. This device will help detect concussion, stroke and other neurological diseases. It is reported that Jan medical has raised at least $ 10.6 million on this project until now. Jan Medical will use the funds to complete the initial application for a variety of clinical trials and to get FDA approval and CE certification registration.

Paul Lovoi, CEO of Jan Medical, set up this medical company after his wife died of subarachnoid hemorrhage stroke. He also named the company after his wife’s name.

Lovoi once told Mobi Health News that about stroke, he knew more. He set up this company because he wanted to find a better way to determine this cerebral vascular lesions instead of catheterization and angiography. It was his initial purpose to build this company.  

Though Lovoi already begun to work in the company since 2003, he left halfway. Until 2008, he returned back and begun full-time work.

The diagnostic equipment that Jan medical has developed is called Nautilus Brain Pulse 1100, which is made up of headset, data collector, batteries and other components of the touch-screen computer. There are two sensors on the headset, one to detect heart rate, the other to detect ambient noise. There are six accelerometers in the headset , which are used to measure head impact acceleration. Diagnostic tests are in charge by nurses working in the neurological intensive care unit, and emergency department. It just takes 3 minutes to complete the test.

Lovoi said that although at present the diagnostic device has been able to connect with the portable computer, his ultimate plan is to synchronize the headset and tablet PCs, and store the datum in the cloud.
