Executive Brief
Innoneuro Limited is a neuro-diagnostic startup specializing in Brain Function Fingerprinting (BFF). Their core innovation lies in a patented algorithm that analyzes electroencephalography (EEG) signals to detect early-stage cognitive decline and dementia. Their business model transitions from pure algorithm development to the manufacturing of high-quality medical devices intended for clinical environments, where signal precision and device longevity are paramount.
Strategic Fit & Lead Score
Lead Score: 58/100 (Adjacent Tech / Custom R&D)
Why this Score? While Innoneuro is currently focused on the software/algorithmic side of EEG, their growth into "manufacturing medical devices" creates a hardware bottleneck. Standard EEG electrodes (Ag/AgCl) suffer from signal degradation, skin irritation from conductive gels, and wear-and-tear. 6C’s Boron Doped Diamond (BDD) and Single Crystal Diamond (SCD) technologies offer the "Holy Grail" for neural sensing: chemically inert, ultra-low noise, and biocompatible interfaces that could turn their BFF tool from a standard EEG into a "Gold Standard" ultra-high-fidelity diagnostic platform.
6C Solutions Proposal
| Application Area | 6C Solution | Technical Value Prop |
|---|---|---|
| High-Fidelity Sensing | BDD Coated Electrodes | BDD provides a wide electrochemical window and extremely low capacitive background noise. This allows for the capture of micro-volt EEG signals with higher Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNR) compared to traditional metal electrodes. |
| Wearable Longevity | Diamond-on-Polymer Coating | Direct MPCVD coating on flexible substrates creates "dry" electrodes that do not require conductive gels. Diamond's hardness prevents electrode oxidation and degradation over thousands of clinical uses. |
| Biocompatibility | SCD Surface Functionalization | Diamond is inherently biocompatible and resistant to protein fouling. For clinical-grade BFF headsets, this ensures zero skin reaction and easier sterilization/maintenance between different patients. |
| Next-Gen Quantum Sensing | NV-Center Diamond (SCD) | Long-term R&D: Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers in 6C Single Crystal Diamond allow for room-temperature Magnetoencephalography (MEG). This could evolve their "Fingerprinting" from electrical signals to ultra-sensitive magnetic brain mapping. |
| In-House R&D | Custom MPCVD Reactor | As Innoneuro scales their hardware IP, a 6C desktop MPCVD system enables them to prototype proprietary diamond-doped sensors in-house rather than relying on standard off-the-shelf components. |
Engagement Hooks
- Technical Question: "Your BFF algorithm relies on high-quality EEG data to quantify cognitive decline; have you encountered 'signal-drift' or noise floor limitations with traditional Ag/AgCl electrodes during long-term patient monitoring?"
- Value Statement: "6C can help Innoneuro transition from standard EEG hardware to diamond-based neural interfaces, delivering the ultra-low noise floor and biocompatibility required to make Brain Function Fingerprinting the clinical equivalent of a high-resolution MRI for the mind."
