Speaker Bio
I am a Neurologist +15 years of expertise in intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) and nervous system functional tests and Chief of the Neuromuscular disorders unit of University hospital Germans Trias Pujol (Barcelona, Spain), despite I completed stays at Mount Sinai's hospital (New York, US), Istituto Humanitas (Milano, Italy) and University hospital Bellvitge (Barcelona, Spain). I suffered first-hand the pains of the limitations of Acute Stroke management, so together with Antoni Dávalos (internationally renowned Key Opinion Leader in stroke) and Jaume Coll (neurologist), I started a PhD research project addressed to provide new tools to change the devasting impact of stroke in 2013. In 2020, we demonstrated that the brain signal "N20" provides additional value compared to the current diagnostic state-of-the-art techniques, thanks to the "PROMISE" clinical trial. Then, I decided to become a social entrepreneur and founded the "Time is Brain" company in 2020, to develop BraiN20, a game-changer, medical device addressed to improve the outcome of stroke and other neurological disorders.
