The Ellipse™ platform fuses multi-modal physiologic sensing with embedded intelligence — estimating patient state in real time and adapting neural therapy continuously, so treatment follows the person, not a preset program.
Wavegate began by rebuilding spinal cord stimulation around a closed loop. That work produced something larger: a general architecture for bioadaptive electroceutical therapy.
Conventional neuromodulation is open-loop — a fixed program delivered to a moving, changing nervous system. Posture shifts the target. Physiology drifts. The dose a patient actually receives is not the dose that was set. Ellipse™ is engineered to close that gap, pairing continuous sensing at the neural interface with control laws designed to hold therapy on target through motion, position, and time.
Because the platform is built on sensing and state estimation rather than any single anatomy, it generalizes. The same optical front end, the same fusion engine, and the same adaptive control stack are designed to extend across the peripheral and autonomic nervous system — a foundation for expanding electroceutical indications well beyond chronic pain.
Multi-modal signal acquisition at the neural interface — evoked potentials, optical reflectometry, hemodynamics, ECG, and motion, sampled continuously.
An AI-enabled fusion engine converts raw datastreams into physiologic state — posture, activity, sleep, autonomic tone, and predicted pain.
Hierarchical control regulates the therapeutic field in real time, with feedforward compensation designed to anticipate transient events before they perturb therapy.
Longitudinal data flows to a secure cloud, refining individual models over time and compounding platform intelligence with every patient-year.
At the core of Ellipse™ is hybrid ECAP-anchored optical reflectometry: near-infrared optics track the geometry of the neural target continuously, while evoked compound action potentials provide periodic electrophysiologic ground truth — keeping the optical channel calibrated to the tissue it serves.
Raw waveforms are not the product — understanding is. Ellipse™ fuses its sensor streams into a live estimate of the patient state.
A continuously computed, physiology-derived correlate of reported pain — designed to give clinicians an objective longitudinal signal between visits.
Regional and peripheral autonomic tone estimated from anatomically exclusive optical sources — a window into the stress physiology that shapes chronic pain.
Motion signatures are detected as they begin, so stimulation is designed to adapt ahead of the event rather than after it.
De-identified longitudinal data is designed to refine estimation models across the platform — the system improves with every patient-year.
Every element of the Ellipse™ implantable system — form, header, front end, and power — is engineered in service of one goal: uninterrupted, high-fidelity dialogue with the nervous system.
A pebble-inspired geometry engineered to minimize surface contact pressure at the pocket — comfort as a design constraint, not an afterthought.
Plug-and-play optical and electrical connectivity for StimuLux™-enabled leads — no specialized setup workflow required.
A shared analog front end acquires optical and electrophysiologic channels within implant-grade power budgets.
Advanced-chemistry cell, ultra-low-power silicon, and fast recharge through a ceramic-composite case.
An iPadOS Clinician Programmer walks every workflow — trialing, implant, calibration, monitoring, maintenance, and MRI mode.
Electroceutical medicine advances indication by indication — but the hard problems of sensing, state estimation, and adaptive control are shared. Ellipse™ is built to carry them across programs.
All programs are investigational. No Wavegate device has been approved by the U.S. FDA or any regulatory authority, and none is available for sale.
Wavegate was founded on a simple conviction: neural therapy should answer to the patient in front of it.
Our physician-led team spans implantable systems engineering, photonics, control theory, machine learning, and regulatory science — with US and international patents issued and pending across the platform. We work with clinicians, researchers, and partners who share our view for the future of neuromodulation.
