Helius Medical Technologies is a leading neurotech company in the medical device field focused on neurologic deficits using non-implantable platform technologies that amplify the brain’s ability to compensate and promotes neuroplasticity, aiming to improve the lives of people dealing with neurologic diseases. The Company’s first commercial product is the Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator (PoNS).

PoNS™, short for Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator, is an innovative medical device. It is inclusive of a controller and mouthpiece, that delivers mild stimulation to the surface of the tongue. This stimulation triggers a flow of neural impulses to the brain structures that control balance and gait. PoNS is meant to be used in conjunction with supervised therapeutic activity, referred to as, PoNS Therapy™. Use of the device while engaging in movement and coordination tasks promotes neuromodulation, activating brain pathways to help improve balance and gait.

PoNS is authorized in the United States as a short-term treatment of gait deficit due to mild-to-moderate symptoms from multiple sclerosis (“MS”) and is to be used as an adjunct to a supervised therapeutic exercise program in patients 22 years of age and over by prescription only.

PoNS is authorized in Canada for three indications: (i) for use as a short-term treatment (14 weeks) of chronic balance deficit due to mild-to-moderate traumatic brain injury (“mmTBI”) and is to be used in conjunction with physical therapy; and (ii) for use as a short-term treatment (14 weeks) of gait deficit due to mild and moderate symptoms from MS and is to be used in conjunction with physical therapy; and (iii) for use as a short-term treatment (14 weeks) of gait deficit due to mild and moderate symptoms from stroke, to be used in conjunction with physical therapy. 

PoNS is authorized in Australia for short term use by healthcare professionals as an adjunct to a therapeutic exercise program to improve balance and gait.

Studies have shown that individuals with multiple sclerosis who completed 14-weeks of PoNS Therapy® (www.ponstherapy.com) have seen improvements in their gait scores of an average of 8 points. 

An 8-point improvement in your gait can mean improving your walking so you can RSVP “yes” to the wedding, book the vacation you have been putting off, or go for a walk on the beach.

Individual results and experiences may vary. Speak to your physician to determine if PoNS is right for you.

After 14-weeks of PoNS Therapy® (www.ponstherapy.com), 100% of participants with multiple sclerosis saw a 
4-point improvement in dynamic gait index (DGI) scores, with an average of almost 8 points and 40% even saw improvements above 8 points. 

We encourage you to set your sights high – AIM FOR EIGHT points of improvement.
