Sometimes the best days are the ones you do not plan. As a founder and CEO, there is rarely such a thing as a full day off. When my oldest son was not feeling well and our nanny was away, I found myself with an unexpected day at home with my boys. I took a few work calls and then brought them to one of my favorite places in Los Angeles, the @TheHuntington . We moved at a slower pace and spent time in the sun. Research shows that unplanned days off often rank high on the happiness scale. I understand that now. We do not always get to choose the timing. But sometimes, the interruption is the gift. It reminded me how important it is to slow down, be present, and truly cherish the time we have with the people who matter most. Thank you for my amazing team @NeuraSignal for the flexibility on Monday!

Recently I was reminded of a powerful patient story that exemplifies why we at NeuraSignal are so passionate about our work. In this video, meet Michelle Hamilton, whose potential Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) was missed by the standard of care Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE) bubble study. Thanks to our NG2 platform, we were able to accurately detect the issue, leading to a successful PFO closure procedure and a significant reduction in her stroke risk. Collaborating with our clinical partners to deliver improved outcomes like this is at the heart of what we do—transforming lives through innovative technology in real-world settings. Importantly, this wasn't part of a clinical study; it was the NG2 platform in action during everyday clinical use, highlighting the value of our commercial solutions in enhancing patient care.

We’re proud to share that data published in Stroke, @StrokeAHA_ASA, show that our NovaGuide Intelligent Ultrasound system was 3X more likely to detect #stroke associated heart defects than standard of care screening diagnostic. Read more at novasignal.com/press/bubl #NeuraSignal

Another study confirming that TCD has much better diagnostic utility than TTE for the detection of PFO in patients with recent stroke or TIA. Great presentation by @MarkNRubinMD at the #ISC2022!
BUBL Study of robotic-assisted TCD vs TTE: ❤️ TCD (62%) more likely to diagnose R➡️L shunt/PFO than TTE (19.4%), difference of 42.6% ❤️ TCD identified high conductance shunt missed by TTE ❤️ Possibility of achieving sensitivity of TCD for shunt detection w/o experienced operator

Another important paper with poignant commentary by @NidaQadirMD
Very excited to share our most recent publication about #CovidVaccine effectiveness, just published today by the IVY network. Especially relevant in light of today’s news about #boosters (spoiler - I’m skeptical about the need for boosters for all). 🧵 cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/m…

I don’t know if enough #entrepreneurs think enough about the timing and quality of revenue. Not all revenue is created equal, especially in #MedTech
