Nurovo began as a weekend project at a pain-medicine hackathon, where six students who barely knew one another came together around a difficult problem: how pain is measured. In 72 hours, we listened to patients, learned from clinicians and researchers, built an early concept, and became finalists.What mattered more was that we kept going. The project grew into research, prototypes, engineering, clinical partnerships, and eventually Nurovo. That experience still shapes how we work today.We believe promising technology has to earn its place in medicine through evidence, validation, and responsible development. But beneath the research, engineering, and everything we have built since that first weekend is the same reason we started: pain deserves to be understood more clearly.Nurovo was never built to replace the patient’s voice. It was built because we believed that voice deserved more ways to be heard. Behind every signal we study is a person asking to be understood, and no matter how far this work takes us, that is who we are building for.
