"Fear used to control me." Christian was six when his first seizure changed everything. For 13 years, epilepsy dictated his friendships, his free time, and even his career plans. Medication never brought lasting relief. Today, at 20, he's training as a graphic designer, has taken up archery, and can finally get his driver's license. What changed for him is the EASEE®Epilepsie implant. For the first time, he says, he can do what other young adults take for granted. Prof. Dr. med. Bernhard Steinhoff (Kehl-Kork Epilepsy Center) calls it a real therapeutic option, without major safety risks. Hundreds of patients across Europe now carry the implant, reimbursed by health insurers. Germany's largest daily, BILD, tells Christian's full story. Christian is one of the hundreds of patients across Europe who've received this implant. Now, his story reached millions of BILD readers.

Info
Precisis entwickelt bioelektronische Verfahren, um therapeutische Ströme auf definierte Zielbereiche des Gehirns zu lenken. KI-basierte Lernmodelle ermöglichen es, je nach zu behandelnder Erkrankung bestimmte Gehirnzellen zu aktivieren oder zu hemmen. Die einzigartige Leistung des Precisis-Teams besteht darin, bioelektrische Hirn-Schrittmacher für das Gehirn zu miniaturisieren und damit so gut verträglich zu machen, dass Patienten sie als integralen Bestandteil ihres Körpers akzeptieren. Äußerlich nicht sichtbar, unterstützen die dünnen Elektroden den Patienten so konsequent, als wären sie ein natürlicher Schutz vor Übertragungsfehlern im Gehirn. Der bisher größte Erfolg von Precisis ist EASEE® bei der Behandlung von Epilepsien. EASEE® wird zur Unterdrückung epileptischer Anfälle eingesetzt. Mit einem minimal-invasiven Verfahren wird das dünne Elektrodenpad einfach unter die Haut auf den Schädel geschoben. Es hat im September 2022 die CE-Kennzeichnung für die Behandlung fokaler Epilepsien erhalten, nachdem zwei klinische Studien hervorragende Ergebnisse in Bezug auf Wirksamkeit und Sicherheit gezeigt hatten. Für weitere Informationen klicken Sie hier: https://easee.precisis.de/de/ Wir bei Precisis sind ein Team von vielen unterschiedlichen Persönlichkeiten, leidenschaftlich und engagiert.

We're proud to share a special milestone: The first EASEE® implant at Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Friuli Centrale (ASUFC) in Udine, Italy. The procedure was made possible by a dedicated team of specialists, including epileptologists Dr.ssa Giada Pauletto and Dr.ssa Annacarmen Nilo, neurosurgeons Dr. Stanislao D'Auria and Dr. Daniele Piccolo, Director of Neurology Dr. Lorenzo Verriello, Director of the Clinical Neurology Unit and Neurology Medical School Prof.ssa Mariarosaria Valente, Director of Neurosurgery Dr. Marco Vindigni, and Head of the Department of Neck and Neurosciences Prof. Massimo Robiony — together with Michele Ferrarese (AION Biotech Srl) and Christoph Scheper (PRECISIS GmbH), who supported the procedure on site. It was wonderful to see the excitement and engagement around EASEE®Epilepsie in Udine, and we're looking forward to continuing this collaboration with the team at ASUFC and AION. #EASEE #PRECISIS #Epilepsy #Neurotech #MedTech #Innovation #Udine #Italy Karl Stoklosa Michael Tittelbach Steven Griffiths

Four days. Hundreds of conversations. One question that kept coming up: "When medication doesn't work — what's next?" That question is exactly why we were at the 64th DGfE Annual Convention in Würzburg. And it's why we do what we do at PRECISIS. It was wonderful to connect with neurologists and neuropaediatricians who are thinking deeply about their patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy and who are genuinely curious about what low invasive neurostimulation can offer. EASEE®Epilepsie generated real interest. Not because of the technology alone, but because of what it means for patients who have run out of options. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, asked hard questions and kept the conversation going. That's what moves this field forward. See you next year in Basel. #DGfE2026 #Epilepsy #MedTech #Neurostimulation #DrugResistantEpilepsy Steven Griffiths Michael Tittelbach Karl Stoklosa Julien Denis Evelyn R.

At 14, Christian had his first seizure. With 20, he finally has his life back. In between: 15 medications and not one of them brought lasting relief. For roughly one in three people living with epilepsy, this is the reality. Seizures that don't stop, no matter what is tried. Driving, studying, simply being alone - all out of reach. FOCUS Magazine published Christian's story and what changed for him after receiving EASEE®. EASEE®Epilepsie is the therapy we at PRECISIS have spent years building for exactly this moment. A minimally invasive neurostimulation system — the electrode sits just beneath the scalp, the skull stays closed, the brain untouched. A procedure of about one hour. Invisible from the outside and for many affected people, life-changing on the inside. At PRECISIS, we don't measure success in device specs. We measure it in first solo trips, in university enrollments, new job perspectives and in the quiet confidence of knowing a seizure might not come. Christian's story is one of now more than 200 patients who have received EASEE®. There are many more waiting. -> Read his full story in the comments. #Epilepsy #DrugResistantEpilepsy #EASEE #PRECISIS #Neuromodulation #MedTech #Neurology #PatientStory Karl Stoklosa Michael Tittelbach

Drug-resistant epilepsy affects approximately 1 in 3 patients and when two medications have failed, the next step matters. When does pharmacoresistance apply? What role does epilepsy surgery play? And when is neuromodulation the right path? Prof. Dr. Felix von Podewils, Head of the Interdisciplinary Epilepsy Center Universitätsmedizin Greifswald, covers all of this in a CME-accredited german webinar - available on demand via Doctorflix: 🎓 Drug-Resistant Epilepsy: New Ways? ⏱ ~45 min | 2 CME points | Online, on demand 👉Link in Comments #Epilepsy #DrugResistantEpilepsy #Neurology #CME #Neuromodulation

From AI in the cloud to AI in the human body – the next frontier of innovation: What happens when artificial intelligence meets implantable medical technology? In a recent conversation with Jan Veira, Host of the Podcast Digital4Leaders, Dr. Ciamak Abkai, VP Innovation & Development, shared how innovation is transforming the way we treat neurological conditions like epilepsy – and what it takes to bring AI inside the human body. 🔍 Three key takeaways: 1. AI is becoming deeply personal. We’re moving beyond static treatment approaches toward responsive neurostimulation systems that can detect abnormal brain activity and react in real time: tailored to each individual patient. 2. Edge AI in its most extreme form: unlike cloud-based AI, implantable systems must operate under strict energy and safety constraints. This requires highly optimized, application-specific intelligence. 3. Innovation requires courage. Breakthroughs don’t come from scaling existing ideas. They come from rethinking fundamentals – such as delivering therapy without directly touching the brain, reducing risk while improving outcomes. 💡 What’s especially exciting: Advances in microelectronics, batteries, and AI, many driven by the consumer tech world, are now enabling a new generation of smart, adaptive implants. The result? A future where medical devices don’t just support therapy, they continuously learn, adapt, and improve patient outcomes. This is the kind of innovation that happens when engineering meets medicine. And when teams are willing to challenge the status quo.

What does it mean when hundreds of people living with drug-resistant epilepsy gain access to a new, less invasive treatment option? 💭 With EASEE®, it means different things to different people: For patients, it represents hope and a renewed sense of freedom. For families and friends, it often means relief. For us, it demonstrates that we are delivering on our mission of giving patients their lives back, motivating us everyday to develop even further. But what does it signify for healthcare professionals? 👩🏻⚕️ We asked an expert on the matter: PD Dr. med. Elisabeth Kaufmann, Senior Physician at the LMU Hospital Munich, LMU Klinikum München. She notes that EASEE® has become a valuable addition to the existing range of therapies. It equips neurologists and neurosurgeons with an additional tool to further personalize care and improve patient outcomes. Because advancing care means expanding possibilities – and for many patients, that possibility starts here. ✅ #PRECISIS #HundredsOfEASEEpatients #AdvancingEpilepsyCare
