About PASCALL SYSTEMS:

• Sustainably grown startup with an FDA-510(k)-cleared medical device
• Founding team includes: a MIT PhD Neuroscience graduate as CEO, a joint MIT/Harvard professor, statistician, and anesthesiologist at MGH, and a former Harvard, currently Stanford professor, in Anesthesiology and Bioengineering. Both professors run their own laboratories and key opinion leaders in their field. The founding team has strong ties with both MIT and Harvard.

Problem we are working on: to bring neuroscience-based personalized anesthesia monitoring to the operating room (OR). PASCALL founders also have strong ties to the anesthesia department at Massachusetts General Hospital through Drs.

Our mission is to revolutionize anesthesia care by advancing the field into an era of neuroscience-based personalized care. Our vision is to bring personalized, innovative, and strong science-based anesthesia care to all hospitals in the world and in doing so prevent post-operative delirium and post-operative cognitive dysfunction.

Since our founding, PASCALL has built significant capabilities in the development of medical devices and software. We achieved ISO13485:2016 certification for the design and development of medical devices. Our first platform device was FDA cleared in 2022.

Our team is a diverse and international group, bringing together a range of expertise and unique perspectives. Alongside advanced degrees in algorithm development, machine learning, pharmacy, and anesthesiology, we also have members with backgrounds in fields as varied as music and history.
