    NeuroSpine Institute Foundation was established to promote safety in Concussion Awareness in Youth Sports and to increase the messaging of the importance of concussion recognition and treatment. NSI Foundation was responsible for significant fundraising for promotional activity and Dr. Masson was involved in multiple national programs educating the American Fitness and Coaching Professionals about Concussions in Youth Sports, including recognition, diagnosis, and stay in the game protocols. The Foundation was terminated as it became clear that concussion was firmly established in the talk points in North American Sports, and as it became obvious that there was no need to further dilute the philanthropic support given the large number of concussion support programs in place.

Patents

  • Expandable spinal fusion cage

    Issued US 9421110

    A device, system, and method for performing a spinal procedure. The device includes first and second shape-memory outer platforms, the outer platforms expanding at a temperature greater than the transformative temperature, a core member having first and second expansion bodies and first and second wedge members, the first expansion body being coupled to the first outer platform and the second expansion body being coupled to the second outer platform, and a screw rotatably disposed within the…

    A device, system, and method for performing a spinal procedure. The device includes first and second shape-memory outer platforms, the outer platforms expanding at a temperature greater than the transformative temperature, a core member having first and second expansion bodies and first and second wedge members, the first expansion body being coupled to the first outer platform and the second expansion body being coupled to the second outer platform, and a screw rotatably disposed within the core member, the screw passing through at least a portion of each of the first and second wedge members. Rotation of the screw causes the first and second wedge members to move toward each other and the first and second expansion bodies to move away from each other. Thus, reaching a transformation temperature and rotating the screw expands the device to come in contact with and anchored against both of the adjacent vertebrae.

The data vault includes multiple customer data vaults and provider data vaults that can be used to securely store and retrieve records belonging to a particular customer or provider. Access to records contained within a given customer or provider's data vault can be authorized via an access key, which allows a provider to access records contained in the customer or provider's data vault under time or use based restrictions set by the customer. The customer or provider can also access their own records via the access portal. The access key can be set by the customer to permit access to records contained in the customer's data vault only via the access portal. The customer or provider has the ability to accept or reject records uploaded to the customer or provider's data vault and can also annotate records added the customer or provider's data vault.
