Nearly a decade ago, this was a conversation. Today, it is becoming reality.
Nearly a decade ago, Neuro20 Founder and CEO DJ Schmitt sat down with Dr. Kevin White, a spinal cord injury physician at the Tampa VA, to discuss an idea:
What if Veterans could continue meaningful neurological care at home?
Dr. White shared guidance and insight that helped shape the thinking behind what Neuro20 would eventually become.
What followed were years of development, investment, regulatory work, challenges, persistence and growing clinical experience.
This week, nearly a decade after that first conversation, a Neuro20 system was delivered to a Veteran in South Texas - not for a clinic, but for his home.
One system. One individual.
But for us, this moment represents something much bigger.
Our vision has never been simply to build a medical device. It is to help create a future of continuous neurological care, where the transition home doesn't have to mean the end of structured support.
What could that future eventually look like?
What if intelligent technology could help clinicians continually refine protocols based on a patient's progress?
What if objective outcomes could be tracked over time and integrated into the patient's medical record?
What if movement, blood pressure, heart rate and other meaningful measures could help clinicians better understand what is happening between visits — and identify when intervention may be needed?
What if appropriate follow-up could happen through telehealth, reducing unnecessary trips back and forth to a provider?
And ultimately, what if all of these technologies could work together to give patients a greater role in their own ongoing care while keeping their clinical team connected?
That is our vision of continuous neurological care.
Neuro20 is one piece of that future. And we know we won't build the rest of it alone.
It will take clinicians, researchers, healthcare systems, technology companies and innovators who share the belief that neurological care can become more connected, continuous and patient-centered.
If you're working toward that future too, we want to hear from you.
But that's tomorrow.
Today, we celebrate ONE.
One Veteran.
One Neuro20 system.
One home.
And from one, we work toward ten.
Then one hundred.
Then one thousand.
And we keep going.
To everyone who has advised us, challenged us, invested in us, researched with us, treated patients with us, built alongside us and, most importantly - believed in the mission: thank you.
And to the Veterans who inspired this mission in the first place, this milestone means more to us than we can adequately put into words.
Nearly a decade ago, it started with a question.
Today, Neuro20 is in a Veteran's home.
And we're just getting started. 🇺🇸
