The fastest, most cost-effective path from therapy idea to first-in-human study. Built for neuromodulation researchers and startups who can't afford to wait years to prove their science.
Chronic pain. Incontinence. Paralysis. Depression.
Drugs often fall short or create new issues for these patients. Neuromodulation is a new option, using electrical signals via implanted devices, to precisely apply treatment to nervous tissue
Unlike drugs, electrical stimulation acts precisely on specific neural circuits — restoring movement, relieving pain, and regulating autonomic function without systemic side effects.
From paralysis and chronic pain to bladder dysfunction and autonomic disorders, neuromodulation can be a first option to address conditions instead of systemic drugs.
A global community of biomedical engineers and clinical investigators working to translate neuromodulation science into therapies that reach patients.
Every idea for a neuromodulation therapy needs hardware to prove it.
This is where most promising therapies die. Not from failed science, but from the cost and complexity of getting implantable hardware to translate from animal study to a first-in-human study.
Existing options are expensive, IP-locked, and force every researcher to solve the same problems from scratch. More promising therapies die here than from failed science.
A human-grade implant built in-house runs $900K–$10M before a single participant is enrolled. CDMOs charge $2M-$7.5M for the same outcome. Most labs never get there.
Existing platforms require expensive licensing. IP constraints limit customization and create long-term dependency on commercial vendors at every stage — from benchtop to first-in-human.
Without an established FDA pathway, every new platform starts from zero. Each step — IDE application, device modifications, multi-site expansion — requires years of documentation and fresh approvals.
The COSMIIC System is the fastest, most cost-effective path from therapy idea to first-in-human study. It's the same platform already proven in FDA-approved human studies — available to any lab or startup from day one.
PCB designs, firmware, and regulatory documentation freely available to build on
3 IDE approvals provide a reference path for new studies
Power, stimulation, and recording modules adapt to your therapy. Same hardware from benchtop to first-in-human
Compared to building in-house or hiring a contract device manufacturer
Start with a benchtop kit. Advance to an animal-grade implant. Graduate to a human-grade system for first-in-human trials — the same platform the entire way.
Benchtop system with SDK for developing and testing stimulation algorithms. The fastest entry point to the COSMIIC platform.
Starting at $5K →Low-cost fully implantable version for preclinical animal studies. Validate your therapy before advancing to human trials.
Starting at $15–20K →Fully implantable system for FDA IDE first-in-human studies. The same platform already proven in 10 human participants.
Starting at $50K →Technical integration and regulatory support from the engineers who built the platform — from IDE submission strategy to device customization.
