This Month's Profile Group: Heightened Concussion Awareness Calls For New Detection Tools, features profiles of Cerora, MC10, Oculogica, and Sway Medical. Plus these Start-Ups Across Health Care: Bicycle Therapeutics, Crosstrees Medical, Rescue Therapeutics, and Sensulin.

Cerora Inc. has developed a concussion assessment platform that will collect and analyze many different types of inputs: EEG data, eye gaze measurements, and measures of cognition and voice analysis, to detect concussions. By doing so, the company thinks it will be able to provide a more comprehensive picture of brain injury than competitors whose technologies assess a single factor.
