Scientific Summaries
At Go North Medical, evidence is the cornerstone of our mission to target the right patients at the right time. In the area of Neurology alone, over 100 articles, case studies, and other resources are published each week. To deepen the company's understanding of the field, the medical team, led by Medical Affairs Manager Martina Boström, extracts key insights from these publications. All medical team members have a research background and possess expertise in critically reviewing evidence to determine both its strengths and weaknesses.
Primarily, the team stays up-to-date with the latest scientific evidence on vagus nerve stimulation therapy and evaluates its effectiveness through critical review and analysis of relevant publications. Part of this effort is published here, with scientific summaries and reflections created by the team. These summaries emphasize the most important publications that are relevant to our field of expertise.
