Sentio is a consumer electronics company with proprietary technology that transforms your smartphone into a laptop. We launched our flagship Superbook on Kickstarter last year, becoming the Most Funded Hardware project at nearly $3M raised. Our team is led by alumni from Google and Y Combinator, and is backed by leading VCs including Social Capital and 500 Startups. Sentio, LLC has developed a smart sensor IOM technology for spinal surgery based on MMG. Sentio MMG? is a proprietary nerve mapping and avoidance system developed to solve one of the most overwhelming challenges in spine surgery today: The ability to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures while avoiding injury to nerves. Sentio MMG? m Sentio MMG® is a surgical access tool. It is intended to locate and map motor nerve roots and their peripheral extensions originating from spinal levels C3-T1 and L2-S2. Sentio MMG® smart-sensors are different from all other forms of neuromonitoring electrodes. In contrast to electromyography, or EMG, which relies on needles to detect subtle changes in electrical signals in muscle, Sentio MMG® smart-sensors employ proprietary accelerometer technology. These non-invasive accelerometer-based sensors measure MMG (mechanomyography) activity, or the mechanical “twitch” associated with muscle contraction. When MMG activity is detected, the surgeon is provided with a ‘STOP’ alert indicating a nerve has been identified. The result is an intuitive, surgeon-directed tool for establishing safe access in a variety of surgical applications. Sentio MMG® was specifically designed to facilitate safe lateral transpsoas surgery. Sentio believed there was a better way to identify and map nerves during lateral surgery that did not require EMG.
