How it all started
From Tesla Medical to Stimvia
Our company was founded in 2014 under the name Tesla Medical by Lukáš Doskočil conjunction with specialists from 2nd Medical Faculty of Charles University in Prague in order to develop a revolutionary technology capable of changing people’s lives for better.
The result of the cooperation is URIS®, a unique technology that enables non-invasive stimulation of deep brain structures for the treatment of a range of chronic diseases.
Our key technology and its application is protected by over 71 patents throughout the EU, Japan, and the USA. We are also honored to have the CE mark from one of the most prestigious notified bodies, the renowned German institution, TÜV SÜD.
