Press release, Helsinki, 14 October 2020 at 10.00 (EEST)
Nexstim Plc (NXTMH:HEX, NXTMS:STO) ("Nexstim" or "Company") announces that the Nexstim Podium live webinar series, launched this spring, has successfully gathered large audiences to discuss how nTMS has been advancing the standard of care for patients worldwide.
Since most scientific conferences were cancelled this year, Nexstim decided to launch a live webinar series offering researchers and clinicians a virtual podium to showcase their most recent work live and keep the global nTMS community current with the latest advances in the field.
So far, Nexstim Podium live webinars have had award winning presenters from Harvard Medical School, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital and from Helsinki University Hospital. They have provided an update on the use of nTMS in motor and language mapping as well as in novel research fields such as spinal cord injury rehabilitation.
Nexstim Podium webinars’ autumn and winter line-up continue to showcase the multidisciplinary uses for the Nexstim SmartFocus ® nTMS technology both in therapy and diagnostics by leaders in their respective fields.
Mikko Karvinen, CEO, Nexstim Plc said: ”Nexstim Podium is our way of helping to keep the conversation around nTMS going even during difficult times. These webinars have shown how researchers are pushing the boundaries of what can be treated non-invasively and how nTMS can even re-define what is inoperable and what is not. The launch of this webinar series also demonstrates our team’s flexibility and efficiency to make a fast shift in the company’s ways of operating, when needed.”
