Neurosurgeon Nicholas Theodore, MD, joined the medical advisory board for Harvard MedTech.
Dr. Theodore has more than 20 patents for medical devices and procedures, according to a Jan. 10 news release from Harvard MedTech. He is a professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, and he is co-director of the university's Carnegie Center for Surgical Innovation.
Before joining Johns Hopkins, Dr. Theodore was chief of spine surgery and director of the spine fellowship at Phoenix-based Barrow Neurological Institute. He wrote or co-authored more than 340 peer-reviewed articles.
At Harvard MedTech he will help with the adoption of Vx Therapy, a platform designed to reduce pain, anxiety, depression level and dependence on pain medications.
"I joined Harvard MedTech's Medical Advisory Board because I believe there is great promise in Vx®Therapy's approach for harnessing the power of the brain to help heal physical injuries," Dr. Theodore said in the release. "Current research is already validating Vx Therapy as a more cost-efficient treatment, and the nature of its delivery, which is in the home, makes it accessible to anyone, anywhere."
