About us:
BIOS is a pioneering neural interface company building the infrastructure on which future neural treatments will be discovered, developed, and delivered. BIOS has developed neural interfaces and AI that, for the first time, can read and write the body’s neural data, or ‘code’, to understand and correct those signals in real-time.
BIOS envisions a new field of digital health treatments that use this new data-driven insight from the nervous system to create better, more targeted medicine. Neural digital therapies will use BIOS' software to understand the effects on the nerves, leading to more precise creation of pharmaceuticals and software-delivered treatments direct to the nervous system.
