Enhance cognitive performance - from pain and anxiety reduction, to focused decision-making
AUSTIN, TX, UNITED STATES, March 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Smileyscope Holding Inc, a leading global provider of virtual reality (VR) therapeutics announced its acquisition of NeuroTrainer Inc, a premier provider of neurocognitive optimization tools. The strategic integration of the two companies enables a world-leading brain optimization platform.
Smileyscope(TM) is a multi-award-winning digital therapeutics company with the first and only VR Analgesic(TM) cleared by the FDA for acute pain. Smileyscope is supported by the world’s largest VR procedural clinical trials, and is the standard-of-care in many of the world’s top hospitals to reduce pain and anxiety during medical procedures.
NeuroTrainer Inc, a Vanderbilt University spinoff, provides powerful, innovative NSF and NIH-backed neuroscience training tools to improve peak performance and mental focus. NeuroTrainer is the chosen VR cognitive performance optimization tool of the 2024 MLS Cup Champions LA Galaxy, and the catalyst of choice for the US special forces community.
Smileyscope’s strategic acquisition of NeuroTrainer is a significant milestone in the companies’ shared ambition to improve human brain performance across the lifespan. CEO of NeuroTrainer Inc, Noah Rolland will be assuming the role of CEO for Smileyscope Holding Inc post-acquisition. “Brain health underpins social and economic prosperity across companies, industries and nations. Combining forces enables us to be at the forefront of brain capital that drives essential growth and innovation”, says Noah Rolland, Smileyscope CEO.
It accelerates the company’s ability to provide comprehensive solutions to transform human performance, making brains more effective by facilitating both peak performance (NeuroTrainer) and pain/anxiety reduction (Smileyscope). The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) estimates that impaired brain health is costing the global economy as much as US$8.5 trillion a year in lost productivity.
Dr. Evelyn Chan, President, MD, MPH, MSc, DCH, says, “The joint company’s collective insights and rich dataset yield great synergies. In the era of artificial intelligence, ensuring that humans operate at peak performance will be a critical enabler.”
Smileyscope Chief Medical Officer and founder, A/Prof. Paul Leong, MD, MPHTM, CCPU, FRACP, PhD says, “The ability to bring together two science and evidenced based companies to address pressing real-world needs is a massive opportunity that we are uniquely positioned to address.”
