Biocurrent, Inc. is an early-stage bioelectronic medicine company with a clear path to Sustainable Revenue. The Company's research into non-invasive neuromodulation led to the development of an advanced prototype device, database, and machine learning engine.
Their invention delivers dynamically generated, modulated Electrical current varying in frequency, intensity, timing, and waveform. Real-time brain wave spikes and discharges optimize the Current flow received wirelessly from an electroencephalogram (EEG).
Based on preclinical studies, the Company's technology may effectively treat various age-related disorders and disabilities, including pain, neurological issues, and cancer. Their business model provides recurring revenue to both the company and treatment providers. Biocurrent is now seeking funding for clinical trials, industrialization, and commercialization.
The Mission
"People worldwide need effective, affordable medical care. 400 million of those people have no access to medical care. Our mission is to deliver innovation to fill this need while maintaining a sustainable and profitable business model.
At the core of Biocurrent's success is our discipline of exhaustive testing. That's how we innovate. Thanks to the nature of software, our iterations are exponentially faster than that of physical medicine. Without testing, innovation is impossible."

The Market
Bioelectronic medicine is a diverse, $20 billion market predicted to grow to $30 billion by 2030. It is part of the $350 billion global digital healthcare industry. The market includes familiar devices like pacemakers and emerging technologies, including nerve stimulators and implantable neurostimulators.
This rapidly growing field develops targeted electrical signals to harness the body’s natural mechanisms to diagnose and treat various diseases, disorders, and disabilities. This electrical current, which uses the body’s mechanisms for healing, is an adjunct or alternative to drugs and medical procedures.
Researchers, developers, and innovators are exploring the field’s applications across various disease areas and disciplines, including neurology, auto-immune diseases, diabetes, arthritis, hypertension, pain management, cancer, and others.
The Problem
The Human Body's Electrical Energy Needs Adjustment
Electrical Current and its "flow" is Akin to the Active Ingredients of Traditional Medicine.
"One of [Bioelectronic Medicine's] challenges is understanding how to get the dosing correct. While many studies have shown that electricity can help treat conditions, there still isn’t a consistent understanding of how to determine the optimal frequency and timing of the stimulations."

"Electricity as Medicine" AAMC (Association of Medical Colleges) Publication June 14, 2022
While recent bioelectronic medicine innovations include a reduction in size, an increase in battery life, and new modalities of Laser, Magnetic, and Ultrasound, the electrical current is similar to that of the 1970s.

Biocurrent's Bioelectronic Medicine Generates Your Personalized Current Flow Using Your Real-Time Brainwaves
This Diagram, Provided for information purposes Only, is a Simplified, Hypothetical Example of Treating pain.
Correlating Your Real-Time Brainwaves to Other Patients Through an Internet-Connected Device Both Improves Treatment Results by optimizing current flow To Fit Your Biometrics and facilities a Sustainable Software as a Service (SaaS) Revenue Model.
Improved Results Increase Treatment Provider Penetration and Patient Adoption.
Before treatment, Biocurrent asks about your symptoms while initiating a wireless data stream from an EEG.
During treatment, your brainwaves, and those of other patients, are used to optimize and modulate the frequency, intensity, timing, and waveform of the current flow you receive.
The Optimal Electrical Current Flow

The Research
Method and Apparatus for Modulating Gamma Brainwaves Using Electrical Stimulation
Biocurrent's Dynamic Current Flow can Elevate Gamma or Beta Brainwaves by ~500% for Sustained periods.
Gamma, the highest Frequency of Brainwave at 32-100+ Hz and the only frequency found in every part of the brain, typically Represents only 2-3% of total Brainwave activity.
Method and Apparatus for Modulation and Linear Amplification of Action Potential Waveforms.
We developed a unique way of generating real-time action potential waveforms, which are crucial for effective electrical stimulation.
Observations Regarding Cervical Cancer
On January 26, 2022, Maribel Mendoza Colmenares, who resides in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cervical Cancer. Due to the cancer's advanced stage, she initially did not qualify for treatment from Mexico's public health care system.
She used Biocurrent after our legal team reviewed her case. A translated journal of Maribel's experience, and copies of her frequent tests from public and private hospitals, are available upon request.
The Regulators
Each target market has its version of the FDA's 510(K) for Class II (Class B) Medical Devices. We will utilize registered regulatory representatives to assist with registration and approval.
The Team
Puerto Vallarta is a beautiful, business-friendly city.
To assist with frequency modulation, we brought in two of the world's top DJs, Jeziel and Jarmel Quintella.
We have a dedicated team.
