ALEVA NEUROTHERAPEUTICS

Aleva Neurotherapeutics develops the next generations of implantable Deep Brain Stimulation systems, based on a MEMS technology. Our unique microfabricated devices enable Target Specific Stimulation and optimization of current therapies. They will also permit targeting new areas of the brain and the measurement of neurophysiological activity, translating into faster, more certain surgical placement of electrode leads. The first application will be in Deep Brain Stimulation for indications such a... s Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremor. To maximize the value it can capture from its technology, Aleva intends to develop a series of two therapeutic products, while eliminating technological and clinical development risks at each stage. Our first product, directSTIM, an intelligent directional electrode connected to a best-in-class Deep Brain Stimulation system, has successfully completed an acute clinical trial at the Inselspital in Bern, Switzerland. It is currently further developped for a long term use. Aleva has been was founded in 2008 in Lausanne, Switzerland. It has raised 42 MUSD to date from prominent VCs, private investors and a strategic investor. The company is ISO13485 certified.More
