Recent highlights

inSignals Neurotech was established in 2019 as a spin-off of the R&D Institute INESC TEC to bring research-derived neurotechnology to market. Its formation was publicly announced on Feb 28, 2019. The company’s clearest financing milestone came on Feb 15, 2021, when it raised a €100,000 seed round, equivalent to $121,322, with Portugal Ventures as its investor. Its product focus is iHandU, a wearable approach to objectively assessing Parkinson’s-related motor symptoms, including rigidity, tremor, bradykinesia, and gait abnormalities. The company’s current product description also emphasizes Apple Watch movement data, AI-based analysis, and the development of models intended to anticipate motor fluctuations and OFF episodes. It reports more than 80% accuracy in hospital testing at Hospital de São João.
