Charting Our Progress: Milestones in Headache Research and Innovation
Explore our journey of accomplishments and groundbreaking work in the field of headache research and diagnostics. We’ve reached significant milestones, including the commencement of clinical trials and unconditional research ethics approval. Our dedication to innovation led to the award of a patent, and our active participation in international conferences has garnered recognition.
In 2019, we presented an abstract poster at the International Headache Conference in Dublin, showcasing our commitment to advancing headache research.
Our commitment to pioneering solutions is exemplified by our provisional patent (CDC-026426 US), a fully equipped research lab with ethics approval, and the development of a working prototype for a migraine diagnostic system. We proudly highlight our pilot study, which achieved an impressive accuracy rate of 92.9%.
