Recent highlights

tVNS Technologies GmbH’s product focus is non-invasive transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation. Its tVNS® E is described as a Class IIa medical device approved under the EU MDR, while the tVNS® R is designed for research use and configurable stimulation protocols. The company also offers supporting software and accessories, including research and connectivity apps, a Triggerbox, Manager PC software, and ear electrodes. A Jan 14, 2025 mention in an outlook article is a dated public reference, but it does not provide a detailed company-specific milestone. The company was founded on Jan 1, 2022 and is listed as active. Its stated development and manufacturing base is Germany, with a small reported employee band of 1–10. Overall, the available picture is of a specialist medical-device business building around a regulated stimulation product and a research-oriented platform, rather than a company with a clearly documented run of recent financing or corporate announcements.
