SAN FRANCISCO, July 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Rune Labs, a precision neurology software and data platform company, today announced it is enrolling patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) in a study to identify neurophysiological biomarkers of the disease. The company has partnered with Coastal Research Institute (CRI) to measure demyelination in patients with spinal cord stimulators using closed loop technology.

  • Clinical scores currently used as endpoints and screeners in trials are imprecise and do not always correlate with lesion activity.
  • "Rune's AI platform enables us to take raw brain data and convert it into actionable biomarkers of myelination."
  • Rune Labs' first-in-class precision neurology software platform uses machine learning to capture and analyze electrophysiological brain data to uncover previously overlooked markers of disease.
