Celestra Health Systems has developed a highly sensitive, non-invasive digital biomarker for monitoring neurological conditions, at 1/100 the cost of conventional solutions. Our FDA-designated Software as a Medical Device platform helps patients with neurological diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson’s disease, as well as their clinicians, by objectively measuring changes in walking quality over time, with laboratory grade accuracy. Our platform is also gaining traction with pharma firms, as there is a well-recognized lack of biomarkers to prove the efficacy of new drugs, leading to expensive and time-consuming clinical trials.
