Patient safety

Before a medical technology product becomes available on the open market, it must undergo many laborious technological development steps, and extensive testing and validation procedures. These include both animal studies and studies on sick people.
Precisis conducted the first implantation of its system in 2019 – the ‘first-in-human’ clinical study. Since then, we have developed the perspective of several hundred therapy months and can proudly claim that our initial creative idea has gone on to become a safe and highly effective therapeutic method. The step-by-step, careful and laborious licensing procedure (Medical Device regulation, MDR) is intended primarily to serve patient safety: however, the data evaluation also serves to answer the question whether what may be an expensive innovative therapy should take its place in our health insurance system and be regarded as worthy of reimbursement. We consider ourselves fortunate in that our brain stimulation product is already achieving significant success in people with severe brain disorders.
On September 15, 2022, we received CE certification for our EASEE System for the treatment of adults with focal epilepsy. The next step is now the study in children and adolescents in order to obtain the CE certification here as well.

Investments for innovations

To date, Precisis has benefited from two BMBF (German Federal Ministry of Education and Research) grant programmes that financially support medical technology innovations. With these grant programmes, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research has indicated its conviction that the medical technology sector represents a highly innovative and fast-growing branch of the health care industry and that technological innovations can not only improve the care of sick individuals but also represent the best economic opportunities for companies. However, the bulk of financing during the high-risk start-up phase of development was carried through private investments.
