Company mission
To transform the standard of care for chronic disease with non-invasive wearable neuromodulation therapies.
Our take
Essential Tremor is the most prevalent movement disorder in the world, with up to 5% of the global population affected by it. And yet, there were previously only two treatments: ongoing prescription drugs, which have side effects of drowsiness and nausea; or invasive surgery, which is costly and has risk of serious side effects.
Cala have developed a pioneering non-invasive treatment, which uses electrical stimulation from wearable device (it looks like a simple wristwatch) that monitors personal tremor levels and adapts its treatment to suit each patient. It is a world-leader in its field, and has revolutionized treatment for the 7 to 10 million Americans suffering from Essential Tremor.
Funding is focussed on expanding patient access, as well research into how to use their technology to treat Parkinson’s disease and other ailments.
