Company Summary
Innervo Technology developed, patented, and demonstrated a hidden and noninvasive balance device called EquiCueTM intraoral balance aid for patients with inner-ear balance disorders. The device is hidden under the roof of the mouth to deliver alternative sensory feedback that can make up for the lost sense in the balancing function of the human body. More than 8 million American adults suffer from chronic dizziness and imbalance. Currently no practical devices are available on the market to augment the sense of balance for these patients. Innervo Technology captures this unique market opportunity by offering a wearable balance device that has been shown to dramatically improve balance for patients with profound vestibular loss. Innervo was awarded SBIR Phase I and Phase II grants from National Science Foundation for this innovation.
