BIOS Health's are on a mission to improve people's quality of life with neural engineering.
BIOS is unlocking the potential of the nervous system in treating chronic disease by using AI-powered neural interfaces that can automatically read and write neural signals.
The challenge in this field is how to collect and process large amounts of neural data and then accurately interpret the neural signals, which are incredibly noisy, continuously changing and travel throughout the body at incredible speed. In other words, a job best suited to machines underpinned by machine learning/AI.
BIOS’ neural code is built on the world’s largest proprietary neural data set and is already in use clinically to enhance data from wearables used in remote chronic disease care. This holds the key to new treatments for conditions including hypertension, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis, and in the future even diseases of the brain itself such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s.
The plan is for BIOS to develop some products and treatments of its own, but also to partner with various companies and organisations. The premise is that the company can focus on the core interface and related AI, while the eventual applications can be as wide and vertical as advancements and interest allows.

BIOS' technology can support a totally novel therapeutic modality: neural digital therapies. The applications for this technology are broad and could provide patients with new, potentially life-saving treatments. For example, the company is prioritizing late-stage Heart Failure for its first treatment indication, a high unmet need disease where a more efficacious therapy would be transformative.

The best thing about BIOS is undoubtedly the people. We work at the cross-section of many complex areas: Bioengineering, Computational Neuroscience, and Electromechanical Engineering, and the teams' diverse backgrounds mean that every day I can learn from an expert in their field about a completely new topic. Not only is everyone brilliant - from ex-CERN engineers, to prior start-up founders, to award-winning ML researchers - they are also genuinely kind, welcoming, and helpful.

As a fast-growing scale-up, BIOS is ripe with opportunities to take ownership of your career and define the things you're interested in and want to work on. Taking on additional projects or workstreams that you're interested in is encouraged by management and the broader team is always eager to lend a hand. For example, I recently took on a project alongside a few colleagues to define our reimbursement models, and the broader team was very supportive, offering feedback, direction, and celebrating alongside us when we completed the work.
