On September 29th, Dr. Brian Mech, VP of Strategy at huMannity, will deliver a seminar at the University of Minnesota as part of their CNE Seminar Series (Center for Neuroengineering).

With over 25 years of experience in active implantable medical devices—and as an inventor on more than 50 U.S. patents—Brian will share insights on huMannity’s unique approach to accelerating breakthrough medical technologies. He’ll highlight how huMannity’s model addresses the ‘valley of death’ dilemma that stifles so many promising medical device technologies before they even get started.

Attendees will learn about our organization’s history, lessons learned, what we get excited about, and challenges and opportunities ahead.

We look forward to engaging with students, researchers, and innovators as we continue to advance huMannity’s mission: pioneering life-enhancing medical technologies for undermet healthcare needs.

We don’t ask researchers to quit their jobs or lead startups.

If you’re advancing a med tech concept in neurostimulation or bioelectronic medicine, you can stay focused on your science, while we take the lead on development.

Our in-house team of engineers, scientists, and regulatory experts will guide your idea from concept to clinical readiness.

It’s a model built for researchers who want to see their innovations make an impact without taking on the burdens of commercialization.

Our summer interns recently presented their final projects to the huMannity team!

Their work spanned a variety of engineering disciplines and highlighted the skills they’ve been developing throughout the program.

This was a chance for interns to demonstrate their growth, share creative solutions, and show how they’ve contributed to huMannity’s mission of advancing life-enhancing technologies.

Thank you to all our interns for a fantastic summer!

When developing next-generation implantable devices, this first question is critical: What exactly are we stimulating?

As John Rivera, our VP of Product Development, explains:

“Not all nerves are the same, and not all conditions can be treated the same way. I’ve heard the phrase ‘stim is stim,’ but that’s incorrect. You have to understand the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of your target—what it’s composed of and how it behaves.”

Each neural circuit functions differently. A therapy approach that works for chronic pain may not work for movement disorders, and vice versa.

That’s why our process begins with deep research into neural pathways, ensuring that every therapy we develop is tailored to its specific biological target.

In med tech innovation, closed-loop systems are one of the hottest concepts shaping the future of care.

Devices with closed-loop systems use biofeedback sensing and real-time data to automatically fine-tune therapy, so they can respond to changes in activity, posture, or symptoms, without any manual input from the patient.

As John Rivera, our VP of Product Development, explains:

“Instead of patients having to change their amplitude or stimulation settings… the system should do it for them.”

By removing the burden of constant device adjustments, closed-loop systems give patients more freedom to live their lives—while ensuring their therapy is always optimized.

At huMannity, we’re working toward smarter, more adaptive solutions that put the patient experience at the center of innovation.

We’re proud to launch our new Spotlight on Success program, a quarterly initiative that honors standout team members whose work and spirit elevate us all.

Our very first Employee of the Quarter is Frankie Iglesias, Lead Technician.

Frankie brings over 25 years of medical device experience and has been with huMannity for more than four. He leads a team of 10 lab techs, presents daily scrum meetings for cross-functional teams, and ensures every technology line hits its build commitments — often early.

But his impact goes far beyond the technical.

At huMannity, Frankie mentors new hires and has turned a group of individuals into a trusted, aligned team. Under his leadership, the department has had zero turnover — a rare and powerful testament to his approach.

“It’s always a team. It’s never about myself or anyone else. I’m not here to take the credit. I’m here to help everybody out.”

Frankie’s steady presence, people-first mindset, and drive to “win the day” reflect huMannity Medtec’s values of quality, agility, and teamwork.

Congratulations, Frankie, and thank you for helping us row in the same direction.

We partner with researchers and institutions to advance early-stage concepts that might be too risky or too early for traditional investors, especially in neurostimulation and bioelectronic medicine.

We’re not an incubator. We’re a nonprofit developer with a mission to turn bold ideas into transformative devices, working across the entire R&D pipeline, from prototype to clinical readiness and beyond.

Whether you’re a tech transfer officer, a sponsored research lead, or part of a biomedical engineering program, we offer flexible collaboration models and a hands-on team to help bring great med tech ideas to life.

Start a dialogue with our team. No pitch. No pressure. Just a shared interest in advancing human health. https://www.humannitymedtec.org/contact

For 30 years, Facilities Manager Manny Valls has ensured that our spaces support the science that drives us.

Manny takes pride in anticipating needs and keeping Research and Development, Manufacturing and all of Operations running smoothly. Cleanrooms, labs, office setups, electrical, HVAC, drywall, welding and compressed gas lines, cable runs, large equipment and handheld, preventative maintenance and emergency fixes — you name it, Manny’s already handled it and probably taught someone else how to do it along the way.

And as our resident Jolly-ologist, Manny keeps the energy up: winning Halloween costume contests, passing out cake and ice cream during birthdays, and making this a workplace people want to come back to.

“In Facilities, we’re responsible for the air people breathe, the water they drink, the lights they see with. We don’t cut corners, and everybody helps everybody. Doesn’t matter what department you’re in — we all step up.”

That mindset has defined Manny’s work and helped set the bar for all of us.

Thank you, Manny, for 30 fabulous years of building, leading, fixing, mentoring, and making huMannity better in every way. Thank you for your deep interest in the technologies we develop and the patients they serve.

We’re so grateful for you, and we look forward to many more of your valuable contributions to huMannity. 😉

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month!

Let's take this opportunity to spotlight the importance of brain health and honor the individuals, caregivers, and researchers working to combat neurodegenerative diseases.

We stand with the millions of families affected by Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. These are not just medical challenges, they are personal stories of memory, identity, and connection.
