Overview
UNEEG medical A/S is a Danish medical technology company based in Allerød Municipality, Denmark, founded in 2005. The company specialises in ultra long-term subcutaneous electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring, a technology that allows continuous recording of brain activity beneath the skin for years rather than the days or weeks typical of conventional EEG. Its flagship solution, the UNEEG EpiSight System, is designed to give healthcare professionals objective, longitudinal seizure and sleep data to help manage epilepsy, particularly for the roughly 40% of people with epilepsy whose seizures remain uncontrolled despite trying at least two anti-seizure medications. The company describes its vision as "catalyzing brain health therapy with real-world data" and its mission as using a remote patient monitoring platform to capture real-world longitudinal EEG data. These Big Data streams are intended to be transformed by stakeholders such as physicians and drug developers into actionable insights that personalise treatment and reduce uncontrolled seizures. UNEEG positions its technology as relevant not only to epilepsy management but also to drug development, digital biomarkers and neuromodulation, with stated ambitions to expand into areas such as sleep and diabetes. UNEEG medical operates with subsidiaries and cooperates with scientific and technology partners in Europe and the United States. Its clinical and regulatory milestones include EU MDR certification for the UNEEG SubQ implant in 2024, FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for the UNEEG EpiSight solution in 2024, and EU approval in 2025 for 3-year continuous use of the UNEEG SubQ implant. The company has accumulated a substantial real-world dataset, reporting more than 450,000 hours of real-world EEG, including 10,000 annotated seizures and 150,000 hours of sleep data as of 2026. It is a privately held, entrepreneurial medtech company led by CEO Martin Stenfeldt.
History
UNEEG medical A/S was founded in 2005 in Denmark. From its base in Allerød Municipality, the company set out to develop a new approach to electroencephalography (EEG) that would overcome the limitations of conventional, short-duration recordings. Its core innovation is ultra long-term subcutaneous EEG monitoring, in which a small implant placed under the skin continuously records brain activity for years, allowing electrographic seizures to be detected in patients' daily lives. Over more than two decades, UNEEG medical built a body of clinical evidence and a growing real-world dataset. By 2021 the company had initiated its first US patient in a pivotal multi-centre study for US approval of the 24/7 EEG SubQ solution, conducted at institutions including the University of Pennsylvania and Mayo Clinic. In 2022, UNEEG medical and King's College London were awarded £1.8 million in the i4i Challenge Awards Call from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) in the UK to conduct a multicentre, observational cohort study of the 24/7 EEG SubQ solution. Also in 2022, the company launched its UNEEG MyConnect data-transfer solution, which for the first time automatically sent EEG data from the patient to the hospital. In 2023, UNEEG surpassed 100 implantations, with the data collected continuing to strengthen its seizure detection algorithms, improve sleep detection, and expand understanding of EEG activity in people living with epilepsy. The year 2024 was a landmark one: UNEEG achieved an EU MDR certificate for the UNEEG SubQ implant, launched the UNEEG EpiSight solution for subcutaneous, ultra long-term, wireless EEG recording, and was granted FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for the UNEEG EpiSight solution within monitoring and diagnostic of epilepsy. The company also won a Red Dot award for product design concept in the Medical Devices and Technology category in 2024. In 2025, an investor-sponsored study in Italy began exploring pediatric use, including the first child implanted with the device, and the 24/7 SubQ system received EU approval for 3-year continuous use of the UNEEG SubQ Implant. By 2026, UNEEG had accumulated more than 450,000 hours of real-world EEG, including 10,000 annotated seizures and 150,000 hours of sleep data. The company continues to cooperate with scientific and technology partners in Europe and the US and foresees expansion beyond epilepsy into areas such as sleep and diabetes.
