"Big Pharma is Bullish on Electroceuticals Should You?"

Big Pharma is transforming right in front of our eyes and in the not too distant future, you may not recognize it. In fact, the next blockbuster treatment may not be a drug at all, but rather an electroceutical.

For over a century, medicine has centered on chemistry and biology to treat disease. However, that is rapidly changing toward the use devices that are capable of speaking the body's electric language to treat human ailments and diseases. This new age of medicine is commonly referred to as "Bioelectronic Medicine," and it seeks to use electroceuticals rather than drugs to treat disease.
 
Big Pharma has recognizes the potential of electroceuticals and has begun to invest heavily in this new field of medicine.
For example, GlaxoSmithKline has teamed up with Google's parent company to form a $715 million joint venture called Galvani Bioelectronics to develop and commercialize electroceutical products.

Merck & Co. invested in a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) to treat migraine headaches. Novartis is developing a smart contact-lens that will allow diabetics to monitor themselves continuously by measuring the glucose level in their tears; and Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has invested in an implantable electroceutical for treating heart failure.

One company that investors interested in biotech should take note of is Endonovo Therapeutics, Inc. (ENDV). It recently announced that it had signed a term sheet to raise $5 million from a strategic healthcare investor, as part of a larger $15 million round of financing to uplist the company onto a national stock exchange and to develop a pipeline targeting vascular diseases and ischemia/reperfusion injuries using its non-invasive electroceutical. ENDV's non-invasive technology, which it calls "Immunotronics", uses time variant magnetic pulses to control the inflammatory response and promote the formation of new blood vessels.

Some of the conditions that ENDV is targeting include ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, peripheral artery disease, as well as ischemia/reperfusion injury in the liver and kidneys.

The life threatening and debilitating conditions that Endonovo is seeking to treat are among the largest with clinical unmet needs. For example, between 2012 and 2030, total direct medical stroke-related costs are projected to triple, from $71.6 billion to $184.1 billion, with the majority of the projected increase in costs arising from patients 65 to 79 years of age. Furthermore, over 6.8 million Americans are estimated to have peripheral artery disease, according to the American Heart Association.
