Neurotech Reports Announces Launch of New Publication Serving Bioelectronic Medicine Industry

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- Neurotech Reports, the San Francisco, California publisher of market intelligence for the healthcare industry, announced the launch of a new monthly newsletter covering the bioelectronic medicine industry, one of the newest and fastest growing industry segments. The publication, BioElectRx Business Report, is the first industry newsletter devoted to bioelectronic medicine, which refers to the therapeutic use of electrical or other forms of stimulation, rather than drugs, to treat disorders.

The publication was introduced at the Neurotech Leaders Forum, which takes place November 8-9, 2021 in San Francisco.

James Cavuoto, editor and publisher at Neurotech Reports, said that bioelectronic medicine promises to alter fundamentally the nature of therapeutic interventions for treating a wide variety of conditions, ranging from inflammatory disorders to bowel and bladder disorders, and a host of other potential markets in which drug therapies have fallen short. "We plan to be the most up-to-date and authoritative source of information and analysis of the market, the major players, deal activity, and important clinical research in bioelectronic medicine," he said.

Cavuoto is the lead author of Neurotech Report's market research study, "The Market for Bioelectronic Medicine: 2022-2027." Neurotech Reports launched the Bioelectronic Medicine Forum in New York City in 2018, and plans to return to New York for the fifth annual event in April 2022.

Helping launch the new publication is consulting editor Susan Schaeffer, former editor of BioCentury, the leading industry newsletter for the pharmaceutical industry. In that role, she advanced new thinking in clinical trial development, regulation, pricing, and market access-factors that will be critical in bioelectronic medicine. She is also a member of the National Academies Forum on Drug Discovery, Development, and Translation and founder of a patient education nonprofit.

"Bioelectronic medicine is rapidly bringing a new modality forward for targeted and personalized medicine-a space that has been dominated by biopharmaceutical companies," said Schaeffer. "BioElectRx Business Report will have a particular focus on the potential for collaboration between these historically separate sectors, and will shed light on the potential of this new technology to treat serious diseases, either without, or in conjunction with drugs."

Contributing editor Jo Jo Platt, who has worked with many bioelectronic medicine pioneers during her career, will round out the editorial team for BioElectRx Business Report.

New Market Research Report on Bioelectronic Medicine Forecasts $16.6B Market

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- A newly published market research report from Neurotech Reports, the leading market intelligence firm in the neurotechnology industry, forecasts that the worldwide market for bioelectronic medicine and related technologies will reach $16.6 billion by 2025. "The Market for Bioelectronic Medicine: 2020-2025" takes an in-depth look at the technology, markets, competitors, research, and growth rates in key application areas in the years 2020 through 2025.

"Bioelectronic medicine represents one of the most promising areas of healthcare and medical technology," said James Cavuoto, editor and publisher of Neurotech Reports. "Our team of editors and market research forecasters has more experience and expertise in this area than any other market intelligence organization."

The research report forecasts U.S. and worldwide revenue, compound annual growth rates, and competitor market shares for bioelectronic medicine devices in several key indications, including inflammatory disorders, hypertension, gastrointestinal disorders, urological disorders, cardiac disorders, metabolic disorders, and ENT disorders. It features in-depth profiles of established and startup bioelectronic medicine firms and key research institutions developing new bioelectronic and neuromodulation therapies.

A unique feature of this report is that it breaks down U.S. and worldwide revenue between core applications that conform to a classic definition of bioelectronic medicine-neuromodulation that affects an end organ-and applications that conform to an expanded definition that includes neuromodulation for neurological disorders. Also highlighted in the report is detailed information on key private and public funding agencies and venture capital firms that are investing in this space.

Authors of the report include Neurotech Reports editors James Cavuoto, Jennifer French, Jeremy Koff, and Margot Puerta. Puerta is the former editor of the journal Bioelectronic Medicine. A team of prominent industry experts also contributed valuable input to the study including Tony Arnold, principal of the consulting firm Precys and former CEO of SetPoint Medical, and Victor Pikov, CEO of Medipace Inc. and former research platforms director at Galvani Bioelectronics.

The report is available through the Neurotech Reports website: http://www.neurotechreports.com/pages/mbmsumm.html.
