NeuroMetrix President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Gozani to Speak at 2016 Connected Health Conference

WALTHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$NURO #chronicpain–NeuroMetrix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NURO, NUROW) announced today that Shai N.
Gozani, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO of NeuroMetrix will speak on
using personal connected health for pain, addiction, and healing at the
2016 Connected
Health Conference
 to take place Monday, December 12 in Washington,
DC.

Chronic pain is estimated to impact about 20% of adults globally, and
abuse of opioid painkillers is at epidemic levels in the US. Despite $20
billion in annual out of pocket spending, over half of consumers in the
US are not satisfied with their pain relief. As a result, availability
of technology-enabled approaches to treating pain are essential. Dr.
Gozani will speak about the opportunities and challenges for connected
wearable therapeutic devices in chronic pain.

“Chronic pain goes beyond the direct pain experience to alter sleep,
activity, mood, and general health. Therefore, I was excited to see that
the Connected Health Conference is addressing chronic pain this year,”
said Dr. Gozani. “Our mission at NeuroMetrix, with the Quell®
wearable pain relief device, is to provide chronic pain sufferers with
technology that is drug-free and connected into a digital health
platform that helps them manage their pain and improve their overall
quality-of-life.”
