The headset offers a way to conduct clinical trials remotely by transmitting data to the Cumulus Medical Device Hub, thereby enabling real-time evaluation of EEG recordings by healthcare professionals.

Cumulus Neuroscience chief scientific officer Brian Murphy said: “Receiving 510(k) clearance from the FDA marks a major milestone for Cumulus and for our biopharma innovator partners in the US and Europe who need the ability to capture clinical-grade EEG signals from patients while at-home to accelerate their development programmes for precision CNS medicines.”

In addition, Cumulus announced the appointment of Tina Sampath as its new chief commercial officer.

Sampath will be responsible for promoting commercial growth as well as supervising strategic collaborations, marketing and corporate communications at the company.

Cumulus Neuroscience CEO Aman Bhatti said: “Becoming FDA-cleared is another gratifying leap forward for Cumulus, as we work to become the preferred precision CNS drug development partner for biopharma innovators and advance the possibilities for new treatments for neuropsychological disorders.”
