Natus Medical launched BrainWatch, a point-of-care EEG solution driven by AI. Middleton, Wisconsin-based Natus said its solution brings the reliability and trust expected from the world’s largest neurodiagnostic company into critical care environments. The launch solves the needs of customers desiring a point-of-care solution that works with NeuroWorks, an EEG platform used worldwide.

“In this day and age, brain-health professionals, including neurologists and EEG technicians, are in scarce supply,” said Natus CEO Chris Landon. “BrainWatch was designed to be both quickly and easily deployable in both the emergency room and the ICU, so more patients can be treated, including those in underserved communities.”
Setup can take less than five minutes to enable quick intervention in acute care environments. The company says BrainWatch streamlines treatment decisions with neurology support to improve patient care. By leveraging the NeuroWorks platform, the system offers a familiar review experience with remote neurologist collaboration.
Natus Medical says the system delivers the most ACNS-compliant rapid EEG solution for critical care, enabling full referential analysis. It also offers exclusive on-device software with integrated Persyst algorithms for seizure detection and seizure burden.
“We’ve found the EEG signal quality from the small, wearable, and wireless BrainWatch device to be impressive,” said Dr. Puneet Gupta, VP of health innovation strategy & ventures at Neurology Consultants of Dallas. “BrainWatch also offers the ability to perform remontaging after the study, which can be useful in visualizing abnormalities, improving localization, and aiding in artifact identification.”
