Nexalin Technology Completes Phase 1of its Innovative Virtual Clinic

HOUSTON, TX, Dec. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nexalin Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXL; NXLIW) (the “Company” or “Nexalin”) the leader in Deep Intracranial Frequency Stimulation (DIFS) of the brain, is pleased to announce the launch of Phase 1 of its proprietary virtual clinic. The virtual clinic will utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and Nexalin’s new Electronic Data Capture (EDC) platform and Patient Monitoring System (PMS). This AI ecosystem is designed to allow the entire clinical trial process—and ultimately the treatment experience—to be conducted virtually in the privacy of patients’ homes while providing physicians with real-time digital data related to the patient’s treatment experience. This innovative AI platform is being designed to manage Nexalin’s virtual clinic and clinical research capabilities, as well as streamline the patient experience for its Generation 3 Halo Device.

Recently, Nexalin announced its plan to transition its groundbreaking brain-stimulation technology from traditional mental health clinics into patients’ homes with the Gen-3 Halo headset. The Halo headset administers Nexalin’s 15mAmp deep frequency stimulation to the brain. The entire treatment process is non-invasive and undetectable to the patient. Clinical data supports the safety and efficacy of Nexalin’s advanced 15mAmp waveform for addressing mental health challenges, including depression, insomnia, Alzheimer’s disease, addiction, and other conditions. The Halo headset requires FDA clearance as a medical device, along with a prescription and monitoring by a physician. Halo is designed to be used in the privacy of a patient’s home, in an AI-based virtual setting while supervised by a licensed physician.

Phase 1 of Nexalin’s virtual clinic also introduces the proprietary Electronic Data Capture (EDC) platform, which enables efficient real-time data acquisition and analysis during clinical trials. Integrated with a patient-friendly smartphone application, the AI-based system will allow users to initiate treatment sessions virtually. Treatment data is automatically and securely uploaded to the cloud, ensuring compliance with diverse study protocols and providing actionable insights.

Nexalin will also configure its AI platform to include a Patient Monitoring System (PMS) to enhance the treatment experience. Through its interactive smartphone application, clinical teams can monitor patient progress, analyze adherence to treatment protocols, and make real-time adjustments as necessary. The virtual clinic will also include a built-in telemedicine feature, enabling direct communication between patients and Nexalin’s Brain-Health clinical team, ensuring personalized care and support throughout the treatment process.

Both the EDC and PMS systems were custom-developed by Trial-Track to Nexalin’s specifications. Reynold Yordy, CTO of Trial-Track, expressed his enthusiasm, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Nexalin, a company leading the way in AI-based neurostimulation technology. We are confident that Phase 1 of Nexalin’s virtual clinic, incorporating the EDC and PMS, will greatly enhance the clinical trial experience for patients and set a new standard of care for individuals struggling with mental health challenges.”

Mark White, CEO of Nexalin, remarked, “This AI platform is a major milestone for Nexalin as we continue to innovate and improve the treatment experience for patients. Our partnership with Trial-Track has allowed us to leverage their technical expertise to create tools that support our Generation 3 Halo Device and virtual, AI-based clinic while driving efficiency in our future clinical trials. This combination of the Gen-3 Halo Device, EDC platform, and PMS represents a significant advancement in our commitment to improving patient outcomes.”
