Zeto, a leading AI company, has partnered with Firefly
Neuroscience to distribute its FDA-cleared EEG headsets, Zeto ONE and WR19. As
part of the agreement, Firefly will act as a non-exclusive distributor and
integrate its Brain Network Analytics (BNA) technology into Zeto’s EEG
platforms. These headsets, already in use at over 200 hospitals and neurology
offices across the US, promise to offer deeper insights into neurological
health.
Zeto ONE features 21 soft-tip electrodes using the
internationally recognized 10-20 EEG system for standardized placement. It
requires minimal training and provides real-time video, audio, and AI-enabled
seizure notifications, all streamed to the Zeto Cloud for live remote analysis
by neurologists. WR19, approved by the FDA in 2020, is a wireless dry-electrode
EEG headset that offers gel-tip electrodes without requiring skin preparation
or leaving residue. Clinical studies showed its performance matches traditional
EEG systems.
EEG tests monitor brain electrical activity and aid in
diagnosing conditions like epilepsy, sleep disorders, and brain tumors. The
partnership aims to combine Zeto’s cutting-edge EEG hardware with Firefly's
AI-powered BNA platform, enhancing diagnostic capabilities and improving
patient outcomes.
AI-driven EEG solutions are gaining traction. Similar
advancements by Ceribell in 2024 demonstrated a reduction in ICU stays and
patient disabilities. The medical AI market is poised for significant growth,
projected to reach $1.2 billion by 2027.
Jon Olsen, Firefly’s CEO, remarked that this partnership
marks a significant step forward in advancing brain health diagnostics through
AI innovation.
