CFB Client JelikaLite Awarded NSF Grant to Further Clinical Prototype

CFB Client JelikaLite has been awarded a 2-year, $959,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to develop a non-invasive therapeutic brain stimulation medical device to improve the communication, responsiveness, and social integration of autistic children.

JelikaLite is a clinical stage medical technology company developing a transformational neuromodulation platform for unmet needs in developmental pediatric disorders whose lead product is focused on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

The NSF project’s objectives are to finalize the current clinical prototype into a manufacturing-ready product and implement a platform for personalizing transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) treatment based on individual sensor -derived patient characteristics.

Details of the award can be found here.
