Presidio Medical is developing neuromodulation technology with the potential to profoundly transform the field of neuromodulation. The platform technology modulates the nervous system differently than any other commercial device. The initial clinical target is chronic pain, but the technology is broadly applicable to many neurological diseases. Presidio is led by a highly experienced team with a successful track record of medical device commercialization with deep expertise in pain management and neurostimulation. The expertise has allowed Presidio to develop a comprehensive design and development plan to move quickly through prototype builds, animal studies, and clinical use. The system has been used successfully in bench-top and animal studies to confirm proof of concept while developing a safety profile. Enabled by this prior activity, a subsequent clinical trial demonstrated therapeutic efficacy with exceptional pain relief outcomes. The team is now working on the next generation system for further clinical work and to develop the commercial system. The team is a group of motivated, multitalented individuals working toward the company goal of bringing this transformative technology to individuals with chronic pain. Presidio Medical is based in San Mateo.
