The most experienced company in integrated neurological monitoring

Dick Moberg, Founder Mr. Moberg is a 30-year veteran in the neuromonitoring industry. He started his career working in a neurosurgery department in the 1970s doing intraoperative monitoring for spine cases. The equipment in those days had to be "home made" from a signal averager, a paper tape reader for programs, and a pen-and-ink plotter for output, all bolted to a large moveable equipment rack. He got the idea that this could be made smaller, cheaper, and better using microprocessors which were very new at that time. He teamed up with electronics wizard, Gary Trapuzzano, and the Neurotrac product line was born.
Three Generations of Neuromonitoring Products The Neurotrac was the first microprocessor based instrument for performing EEG, processed EEG, and somatosensory evoked potentials. It was used clinically in surgery and critical care in hospitals around the world during the 1980s. It became the first commercial instrument to trend a processed EEG parameter, the Spectral Edge Frequency (SEF), due to an early friendship with Dr. Ira Rampil, the inventor of the SEF. Data collected using the Neurotrac found its way into numerous research publications and many textbooks. A training booklet written by Mr. Moberg became a widely used teaching tool in anesthesia training programs (as well as for most competitors in the industry).
		The Neurotrac II, developed and sold in the 1990s, provided 8 channels of continuous EEG collection and storage along with powerful EEG processing. It was the first product to provide EEG and evoked potentials and also collect data from a transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) machine. A unique feature of the Neurotrac II came from a partnership with Hewlett-Packard. The system used the display and user interface of the most popular bedside monitor at the time, the HP CMS. Because of this, it was noted to be the EEG monitor that was the easiest to use by anesthesia and critical care personnel. The Component Neuromonitoring System (CNS Monitor), our current product, built upon two concepts learned from the Neurotrac II. Users need to see the "big picture" of brain activity on one screen like they do with hemodynamics on a vital signs monitor. Thus, the system was designed from the start to be a general purpose data collection and time-synchronization system. The monitor also needed to be easy to use by clinical personnel at the bedside and, as a result, a new way of linking instructional content to the time of need, called InfoMap®, was developed.
The Company and Mission Moberg Research, Inc. is a unique collection of highly talented engineers, artists, and business persons some of whom were involved with the original Neurotrac 30 years ago. Medical products are sold by our affiliate CNS Technology LLC. Specialized neonatal monitoring technology carries the Day One Medical brand. Moberg Multimedia, an educational research and production group within the company, focuses on the medical device and brain monitoring areas. This group developed the InfoMap® technology used in the CNS Monitor. The company receives funding from NIH and the Department of Defense to further develop its ideas. The Company mission is to develop a comprehensive, integrated, information architecture for the neurointensive care unit...one component at a time...to create the Component Neuromonitoring System.
