Cogwear, a Philadelphia-based medical device startup that makes a headband to monitor brain activity, is opening a new facility in St. Paul.
The company, which launched out of the University of Pennsylvania, has developed a headband that measures brain activity. The expansion will help the production of its second-generation device, designed to deliver real-time brain insights.
Cogwear was founded in 2018 and awarded $256,000 from the National Science Foundation’s Small Business Innovation Research Program to accelerate the product’s development and commercialization in 2021, according to reporting by the Philidelphia Business Journal. The company also raised $100,000 from private investors.
