COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Avation Medical, an innovative neuromodulation and digital health company on a mission to make non-invasive, physiologic, closed-loop neuromodulation accessible to patients across a variety of clinical conditions, announced that Jason Whiting has been named as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Whiting succeeds Jill Schiaparelli, who had served in the role since 2018.
"I am excited to join the Avation Medical team as we accelerate the commercialization of this groundbreaking technology to reach patients across the U.S. by working closely with physicians and payors," said Whiting. "The Vivally® System is the first non-invasive, physiologic closed-loop neuromodulation treatment offering at-home therapy for the more than 9 million people receiving care for symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB)."
Mr. Whiting has more than 25 years of experience in the MedTech industry, driving innovation and adoption of new technologies in the implantable, capital equipment, and wearable markets. Before joining Avation Medical, Mr. Whiting served as President of ZOLL Cardiac Management Solutions for more than 8 years—prior to this, he was Vice President of Marketing and Clinical Operations, beginning in 2008.
"As Avation commercially scales, Jason will bring valuable experience and leadership that we expect will accelerate growth and profitability," said Tom Shehab, MD, Chairman of the Avation Medical board of directors. "Jason has successfully brought wearable technologies to market and created new categories in the MedTech space. On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank Jill for her service to the organization and her role in guiding the Company to this stage."
Avation Medical's Vivally System is a wearable bladder control therapy and digital health system for treating patients with the chronic conditions of OAB, urge urinary incontinence, and urinary urgency — without the need for surgery, needle electrodes, or drugs. It is appropriate for every patient suffering from these bladder issues at any point in the care pathway.
The Vivally System is the only OAB treatment to harness the power of physiologic, closed-loop control with transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation and continuous EMG sensing. Vivally uses the patient's own physiologic response to objectively confirm activation of the tibial nerve and continuously monitor nerve recruitment, automatically adjusting the stimulation within a Personalized Therapeutic Range™ to ensure both safety and optimal therapeutic output. The non-invasive therapy and digital health system gives physicians and their staff the opportunity to provide personalized treatments for their patients, who can conduct the therapy at home.
