The startup incubator MedTech Innovator only launched in 2013, but it has had an immense impact on the industry. | Three MedTech Innovator startups showed off their diagnostic tech at the American Heart Association's 2025 Scientific Sessions in New Orleans.
Boomerang Ventures leads seed funding for SynchNeuro’s wearable brainwave sensor to non-invasively monitor glucose and metabolic health in real time.
At SynchNeuro, we are transforming how people monitor and manage their health with the world’s first non-invasive, brain-based continuous glucose monitor.
Our discreet behind-the-ear sensor analyzes brain signals to track glucose levels, sleep quality, and other key metabolic metrics—offering a pain-free, convenient, and inexpensive alternative to traditional monitoring.
Our work began with Dr. Casey Halpern’s research uncovering how brain activity shifts during glucose fluctuations. By identifying a strong correlation between EEG patterns and blood-sugar changes, his team made it possible to predict glucose levels using brain data. Building on these insights, we apply advanced machine-learning models to deliver accurate, real-time health information.
SynchNeuro is focused on making continuous, non-invasive monitoring accessible and practical, helping individuals—especially those with prediabetes—identify risks earlier and take control of their metabolic health.
