About Us

The only AI-powered clinical intelligence platform for pressure injury prevention and management.

Founded on 15+ years of electrical stimulation science, cleared by the FDA and Health Canada, and now executing on US commercial launch.

"Preventing the Preventable. Powered by Proven Science."

NeuroKinetic Medical is a medtech company transforming outcomes for patients at risk of pressure injuries — a costly, largely preventable clinical burden affecting millions of patients annually across hospital, long-term care, and home health settings.

Our flagship platform, Prelivia™, targets Stage I and Stage II pressure wounds — the 98.7% of pressure injuries that are still reversible — before they progress to the costly, unreimbursed Stage III and IV events that devastate patients and health system finances alike.

Built on 15+ years of electrical stimulation IP through our acquisition of Rehabtronics Inc., and cleared by the FDA and Health Canada, we are now executing on US commercial launch while advancing the next generation of the platform.

Why Now

The convergence moment has arrived

Four forces have aligned to make NeuroKinetic not just possible, but necessary — today.

01

Physical AI maturity

Edge technology and AI inference is now part of hospital and SNF infrastructure — creating the connected, sensor-enabled environment that NeuroKinetic leverages for monitoring and intervention.

02

CMS penalty regime

CMS penalties and litigation costs now make pressure injuries a P&L line item. New regulations extend penalties to Stage II injuries. The average nursing home pressure ulcer lawsuit pays out $500K+.

$3M+ annual revenue at risk per hospital
03

Growing risk population & cost

Adults 65+ will exceed 20% of the US population by 2030. ICU admissions, post-surgical patients, and SNF long-stay residents are all rising, making prevention one of the highest-yield interventions available.

04

Staffing crisis

Nurse-to-patient ratios are at historic lows — frontline automation of intervention and monitoring is no longer optional. With Prelivia, the same preventive outcome requires approximately 10 minutes of nursing time per patient per session.

2+ hours → ~10 min nursing time per patient

Platform features built to solve every one of these problems directly.

Pressure Ulcers: Between Clinical Reality and Human Experience

Pressure ulcers represent a significant challenge in modern healthcare, particularly among immobile and elderly patients. Despite advances in medical technology and preventive protocols, they remain associated with prolonged hospitalization, increased healthcare costs, and reduced quality of life.

Introduction

While clinical guidelines emphasize prevention and structured care, real-life cases often reveal gaps between theoretical knowledge and everyday practice — especially in home care settings.

Clinical Background

Pressure ulcers develop because of prolonged pressure on soft tissues, most commonly over bony prominences such as the sacrum, heels, hips, and elbows. Prolonged pressure leads to impaired blood circulation, tissue ischemia, and eventual necrosis.

Risk factors include:

  • Reduced mobility or immobility
  • Advanced age
  • Poor nutritional status
  • Incontinence and skin moisture
  • Neurological impairment

Clinical classification ranges from early-stage skin redness to deep tissue damage involving muscles and bones. Early recognition is critical, as progression can be rapid and complications severe.

Case Insight: The Gap Between Care and Outcome

A practical example illustrates this issue clearly: An elderly patient, following a stroke, remained bedridden for several months under family care. Despite genuine effort and dedication, a pressure ulcer developed in the sacral region. The delay in detection was primarily due to insufficient repositioning and limited awareness of early warning signs. By the time professional care was introduced, the wound had already progressed to an advanced stage, requiring intensive treatment.

Management Approach

Effective management of pressure ulcers requires more than local wound care. It involves a comprehensive and coordinated strategy:

  • Local treatment
  • Pressure redistribution
  • Systemic support
  • Continuous monitoring

Evidence from clinical practice shows that combined approaches, supported by advanced wound care technologies and used alongside standard care, lead to better outcomes compared to conservative treatment alone.

The Role of Healthcare Teams

Modern treatment emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, involving physicians, nurses, and caregivers. Key elements include:

  • Standardized risk assessment tools (e.g., Braden scale)
  • Clearly defined care protocols
  • Regular evaluation and documentation
  • Education of both healthcare staff and family members

Studies show that consistent application of these protocols can significantly reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers in clinical settings.

Beyond Medicine: The Human Factor

Although pressure ulcers are often discussed in clinical terms, their impact extends far beyond physical health. Patients frequently experience pain and discomfort, emotional distress, and loss of dignity and independence.

Continuous support, communication, and empathy play a crucial role in restoring a patient’s sense of self-worth. Healing is not purely physical.

Prevention as the Primary Strategy

Prevention remains the most effective approach to managing pressure ulcers. Key preventive measures include:

  • Early risk assessment
  • Regular repositioning
  • Skin inspection
  • Maintaining hygiene and dryness
  • Patient and caregiver education

Clinical data consistently demonstrate that institutions applying structured prevention protocols achieve significantly better outcomes, including reduced incidence and improved healing rates.

Conclusion

Pressure ulcers remain a complex medical and social issue, requiring both clinical expertise and human-centered care. Bridging the gap between professional knowledge and everyday caregiving is essential — particularly in home environments where many cases originate.

Timely intervention, education, and a multidisciplinary approach not only improve clinical outcomes but also preserve patient dignity and quality of life.
