Cala Health’s real-world study validates its wearable’s…
Cala Health recently published a post-market surveillance study that demonstrates the long-term efficacy of its wrist-based wearable for people with essential tremor, finding that the device reduced patients’ tremor power by 71%. The Burlingame, California-based company was founded in 2014 as a Stanford University spinout. It makes a wrist-based wearable that uses electrical stimulation to temporarily relieve tremor symptoms. The study, published last week in Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, showed that electrical stimulation therapy delivered by Cala’s device, called Cala Trio, significantly reduces patients’ tremor with no loss of effect over time. Cala Trio works by delivering an electronic signal across the skin that goes from the fingers through the spinal cord up to the brain, Dr. Dhira Khosla, Cala’s medical director, said in an interview. The device’s band contains an electrical stimulator

Eye System Chosen for Initiative
Woodland Hills-based Eyenuk Inc., a producer of artificial intelligence eye-screening technology, is partnering with Vision Loss Rehabilitation Canada (VLRC) on a program that will bring its diabetic eye-screening technology to rural, remote and Indigenous populations in Northern and Eastern Ontario, Canada. According to VLRC, 750,000 people in Canada have diabetic retinopathy, the most common form of diabetic eye disease. The economic impact of the disease on the Canadian healthcare system is $1.2 billion annually, making early detection and care essential. Eyenuk’s EyeArt AI Eye Screening System is the first autonomous AI technology licensed by Health Canada, the country’s government health care agency, for the detection of diabetic retinopathy. The system autonomously analyzes a patient’s retinal photos, detects signs of disease and creates a report in less than 30 seconds, compared to a traditional screening, which can take days or weeks
