Quell utilizes NeuroMetrix's proprietary non-invasive neurostimulation
technology to provide relief from chronic pain, such as due to diabetes,
sciatica, fibromyalgia, and degenerative knee conditions. The advanced
wearable device is lightweight and can be worn during the day while
active, and at night while sleeping. It has been cleared by the FDA for
treatment of chronic pain without a prescription. Users of the device
will also have the option of using their smartphone to automatically
track and personalize their pain therapy. The Company expects Quell to
be available for purchase by consumers in the second quarter of 2015.
The Company also reported that Shai N. Gozani, M.D., Ph.D., President
and Chief Executive Officer will participate in a CES Digital Health
Summit panel entitled "Winning the War on Diabetes." The panel
discussion will be held on January 8, 2015 at 1:15pm. Dr. Gozani
commented "Recent studies have shown that chronic nerve pain
dramatically reduces the quality of life of people with diabetes. We
believe that Quell may help many of these people reclaim their life from
chronic pain."
In addition to Dr. Gozani, the Company will be represented by Frank
McGillin, SVP and General Manager Consumer, as well as members of the
