HillMed Vision Statement
Vision
To alleviate chronic pain and spasticity for patients by comprehensively mapping nerve and muscle activity so clinicians can increase the efficacy of treatments.
Collaborators
University of Houston
HillMed technology is exclusively licensed from the University of Houston. Much of the early development, testing, and validation occurred at the University of Houston.
University of Miami
Collaboration to further optimize our algorithms and validate our technology.
University of Washington
Collaboration on multiple studies investigating pelvic floor muscle (PFM) hypertonicity, innervation, and muscle network alterations in conditions like IC/BPS and chronic pelvic pain, utilizing HillMed’s EMG mapping technology.
Baylor College of Medicine
Partnership on an early feasibility study into pelvic floor muscle hypertonicity in IC/BPS and the neural control of the external anal sphincter, specifically exploring factors like aging and postpartum changes through innervation zone mapping.
Houston Methodist
Collaboration on a study assessing pelvic floor muscle weakness in Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) by utilizing high-density surface EMG with intravaginal and intrarectal probes in combination with anatomical and dynamic MRI.
TIRR Memorial Hermann
Collaboration on a clinical trial to evaluate the performance of HD-sEMG guided personalized Botulinum Toxin (BoNT) injections for managing post-stroke muscle spasticity.
