CorTec

CorTec is a young medical engineering company focusing on innovations in the field of neurotechnology. With CorTec Brain Interchange we are developing a direct interface between brain and technology.

We are thinking ahead, developing tomorrow’s neurotechnology today.

It is our great strength that our technology derives from one single thought – from the basic idea up to its subsequent therapeutic use. This way, we create innovations regarding therapy, rehabilitation, and assistive technologies.

Our most important product is CorTec Brain Interchange, an implantable technology that measures and stimulates brain activity in long-term use.

CorTec Brain Interchange controls itself: The system measures the brain’s activity and thus the effect of its stimulation. It then aligns its further activities with the measured data.

Contrary to other neurotechnological implants currently on the market, CorTec Brain Interchange determines the respective therapeutic demand in direct communication with the brain and thus allows for a gentle treatment.

CorTec Brain Interchange consists of 3 components:

  1. Up to two multi-channel electrodes on the brain surface plus eventually two depth electrodes, connected with
  2. an intelligent implant that communicates via the skin with
  3. a software which reads the measured data and controls the application.

The electrode component oft he implant is at the same time our first product that we are already selling into the research market and also to other companies as subcomponent of their own products. CE and FDA approval are in preparation.
