During the fourth quarter of 2019, and in recent months, we enhanced our targeting criteria for the clinics with which we engage and authorize to provide PoNS Treatment, prioritizing clinics that have established commercial operations, strong referral networks with local neurological hospitals and reimbursement and an exclusive focus on neurorehabilitation.
The Cline Medical Centre in Nanaimo is the Eighth Authorized PoNS Treatment™ Clinic in Canada. Cline Medical Centre is a leading integrative and functional medicine healthcare facility located at 2090 Skaha Drive, Nanaimo, BC.

“We are extremely pleased to receive this designation for our PoNS device,” said Philippe Deschamps, the Company’s CEO. “We look forward to working with FDA to process our application, with the ultimate goal of bringing our innovative technology to the aid of patients suffering with gait deficit due to MS-related symptoms, by providing them with a non-drug, non-implantable treatment that has the potential to significantly improve their ability to walk.” The Breakthrough Devices Program is a voluntary program for certain medical devices and device-led combination products that provide for more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or conditions.
Helius has now expanded access for patients seeking PoNS Treatment to fourteen clinics in Canada, with eight in Ontario, the most populous province. “Our progress in authorizing seven new clinics during the first two months of 2020 reflects the success of our new commercial strategy to enhance clinic engagement and increase the adoption of our PoNS Treatment,” said Philippe Deschamps, Chief Executive Officer of Helius.
