SAN FRANCISCO– CIONIC, the pioneering neurotech company that created the FDA-cleared Cionic Neural Sleeve, today announced three new Centers of Excellence at renowned institutions including International Multiple Sclerosis Management Practice (IMSMP) in New York City, Hackensack Meridian Neuroscience Institute at Jersey Shore University Medical Center’s MS Center in Neptune, NJ, and MedStar Health with centers across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
CIONIC, in collaboration with qualified clinicians at the Centers of Excellence, utilizes the Neural Sleeve and proprietary neuromodulation platform to deliver a seamless care experience from the clinical environment to the home or community setting. The Neural Sleeve is the first bionic clothing that analyzes and augments human movement, enabling individuals with multiple sclerosis, stroke, spinal cord injuries, and other neurologic diagnoses to move with more freedom and control.
“Digital therapeutics are set to transform healthcare, not only through continuous monitoring of patient metrics, but also by delivering real-time care personalized to individual needs. This will only happen through deep collaboration with healthcare providers,” said Jeremiah Robison, CIONIC Founder & CEO. “We are proud to work with IMSMP, Jersey Shore University Medical Center, and MedStar Health to deliver a unified care experience with the Neural Sleeve from the clinic to the home, setting a new standard for mobility care.”
“For over sixty years, IMSMP has provided individuals living with multiple sclerosis industry-leading care that prioritizes access to the latest research,” said Dr. Saud Sadiq, Medical Director of IMSMP. “Our comprehensive, holistic approach addresses the full continuum of care, which includes making the most advanced technology available to our patients and empowering them to live full and independent lives.” Together with partner organization Tisch MS Research Center of New York, their New York City-based facilities make up the largest independently-funded MS center in the world.
“The work we do at our MS Center focuses on providing care that addresses patient needs at every step of their journey with their illness, from diagnosis through treatment,” said David Duncan, M.D., medical director of the MS Center at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, a National Multiple Sclerosis Society designated Center for Comprehensive MS Care. “By integrating innovative technologies like the Neural Sleeve into patient care, we deliver on our commitment to providing the full breadth of resources available to assist our patients with living active and healthy lives.”
CIONIC Centers of Excellence are leading neurological rehabilitation centers that represent the gold standard for patient care. In strategic collaboration with these centers, patients will have an opportunity to experience the Cionic Neural Sleeve under the guidance and expertise of staff. Current Centers of Excellence include Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, the number-one ranked rehabilitation hospital in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report, UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, the region’s largest adult academic medical center, Craig Hospital, a world-renowned rehabilitation hospital that exclusively specializes in neurorehabilitation, and Neuro Physical Therapy, a distinguished physical therapy practice.
