info_outlineZach Henderson, CEO at MindMaze Therapeutics, has designed a precision neurotherapeutic solution designed to offer a scalable, engaging and immersive platform for patients recovering from strokes or managing Parkinson's disease. The solution is deployed across the entire care continuum from hospital to the patient's home, providing high-intensity therapy during the neuroplastic window. The emphasis is on augmenting therapists' care by equipping them with tools to encourage therapy adherence and with data to deliver precise, personalized care.
Zach explains, "So at a very high level, there are millions and millions of people across the neurology spectrum who need this type of neuro rehabilitation, neurotherapeutic solutions, either with a therapist or without, but there are only so many therapists to go around. So there's a massive supply-demand imbalance that frankly cannot be, despite the efforts of the great therapists out there, it can never be filled without resorting to technology. And that's the exact gap that we're trying to fill in the marketplace."
"So MindMaze Therapeutics has a suite of solutions that are deployed across the whole continuum of care. So from acute care to the hospital to inpatient rehabilitation facilities, IRFs, to long-term acute care, to skilled nursing facilities, to outpatient, and all the way even patients taking the technology home. And then in that way, we're meeting the patient wherever they may happen to be. We're supporting the health system around the world. And importantly, we're giving therapy in this important neuroelastic window, which, in some studies, is the first 90 days following, say, a stroke, and in other studies, it goes all the way up to six months. And we're helping the health systems around the world scale their ability to treat even more patients at a very high and even improved rate."
