The money will help Cala Health increase patient access and scale up innovation efforts, allowing the company to make devices for more conditions. Currently, the company’s Cala Trio device is used to treat essential tremor, a common neurological disorder that causes involuntary shaking.

The company is at the forefront of massive growth in bioelectronic medicine.”
