Ceribell

What Ceribell does

Ceribell, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBLL) is a medical technology company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, that has built a point-of-care EEG platform for rapid bedside brain monitoring in non-specialist settings such as intensive care units, emergency departments, and neonatal/pediatric ICUs. The platform pairs a portable recorder with a disposable single-use headband and a cloud-based portal, allowing any trained clinician to initiate EEG monitoring within minutes without requiring a dedicated EEG technologist. Layered on the hardware is the proprietary Clarity AI algorithm — an FDA-cleared machine-learning model that interprets EEG waveforms in near real time, computes a rolling seizure-burden estimate, and issues color-coded bedside alerts. The company also offers the Brain Stethoscope sonification feature, a FedRAMP High-authorized EEG Portal for remote neurologist review, and a neonatal headband variant for preterm and newborn patients.

Ceribell operates a hybrid revenue model combining one-time hardware placement (recorders deployed at hospitals) with per-patient recurring consumable revenue from disposable headbands and a software/AI subscription for Clarity and the EEG Portal. Pricing is quote-based under multi-year contracts, and hospitals can leverage CMS New Technology Add-on Payments (NTAP) of up to $913.90 per eligible patient as well as existing CPT codes to support procedure-level reimbursement. The company is installed at 600+ U.S. hospitals (~11% of U.S. hospitals) and has expanded its sales force from approximately 35 to 55 territories; a recent FedRAMP High authorization opens the 170-hospital U.S. Veterans Affairs system. Following a $53 million Series C in 2021, Ceribell completed its NASDAQ IPO in October 2024, raising approximately $180 million at a $578 million valuation.

FY2025 revenue reached $89.1 million (36% YoY growth) on approximately 85% gross margins, with Q1 2026 revenue of $26.5 million (29% YoY). The company is expanding its clinical indications — including FDA Breakthrough Device Designation for Large Vessel Occlusion stroke detection (January 2026), FDA clearance for AI-powered delirium monitoring (December 2025), and FDA 510(k) clearance of the Clarity algorithm for neonates (November 2025) — while pursuing active ITC patent litigation against incumbent EEG vendor Natus.

Core offering

Ceribell develops and sells a point-of-care EEG brain monitoring platform that combines a portable handheld recorder, disposable single-use headbands, and the FDA-cleared Clarity AI algorithm to enable non-specialist clinical staff to perform bedside brain monitoring and seizure detection within minutes. The system is paired with a FedRAMP High-authorized cloud-based EEG Portal for remote neurologist review and is deployed across ICU, emergency department, neurology, pediatric ICU, and neonatal ICU settings in U.S. hospitals.

Product overview

Ceribell offers a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on a single unified point-of-care EEG hardware system. The core is the Ceribell Point-of-Care EEG System — a portable, wearable EEG hardware platform (recorder + disposable headband) that any trained provider can deploy at the bedside in minutes. Layered on this hardware are three software/service modules: the Clarity® AI Algorithm (cloud-based seizure-detection and seizure-burden AI that triggers bedside alerts), the Ceribell EEG Portal (a FedRAMP High-authorized cloud platform for remote review, reporting, and notifications), and the Brain Stethoscope® sonification feature. The Neonatal Headband is a specialized hardware accessory that pairs with the same core system and Clarity algorithm to extend coverage to preterm and newborn patients.

Emerging players

• iCE Neurosciences: Emerging continuous EEG monitoring platform focused on critical care. Direct overlap with Ceribell's ICU/CCU use case but with a smaller commercial footprint; relevant as a niche next-generation competitor.
• Cumulus Neuroscience: Emerging EEG and digital biomarker platform with cloud-based analytics, primarily used in clinical trials and CNS drug development. Partially comparable to Ceribell's EEG Portal/Clarity platform for cloud-based EEG analysis, with a different end-customer focus (pharma/biotech).

Direct peers

• Natus Medical: The dominant legacy neurodiagnostic equipment vendor, with conventional EEG systems, long-term monitoring, and ICU EEG offerings. Directly comparable to Ceribell across Ceribell's core U.S. EEG customer base, and is the explicit defendant in Ceribell's ongoing ITC patent litigation.
• Wave Neuroscience: EEG-based diagnostic and therapeutic device company with focus on neurological assessment and brain injury. Operates in the same EEG/neuromonitoring category as Ceribell and is a relevant emerging competitor in the U.S. neurodiagnostic market.
• Cadwell Industries: Privately held neurodiagnostic and sleep-diagnostic equipment manufacturer selling EEG, EMG, and IOM systems into U.S. hospitals. Directly comparable as a long-standing specialty EEG competitor to Ceribell's point-of-care platform.
• Compumedics: Australia-based neurodiagnostic and sleep-diagnostic equipment maker (Neuvo, E-Series, Profusion) used in hospitals and research settings. Comparable as a specialty EEG and sleep-monitoring hardware/software vendor targeting similar hospital customers.
• Lifelines Neuro (Stratus EEG): EEG hardware and cloud review platform (Stratus EEG, Trackit) used in ICU, EMU, and ambulatory settings. Closely comparable to Ceribell's hardware-plus-portal model, particularly for ambulatory and EMU EEG, and competes for the same neurology and ICU budgets.

Broad incumbents

• Masimo: Large patient-monitoring incumbent with hospital-wide bedside monitoring, including EEG-adjacent brain-monitoring products (e.g., SedLine). Sells into the same ICU customer base as Ceribell and represents a broader, more diversified incumbent in the hospital monitoring category.
• Philips: Global medtech incumbent with a large hospital patient-monitoring portfolio and a dedicated neurodiagnostic EEG line. Competes for the same hospital EEG budgets as part of a much broader monitoring, imaging, and clinical informatics portfolio.
• Medtronic: Large neurology-focused medtech incumbent with brain and spinal therapies. While not a direct EEG hardware peer, it occupies the broader neurology hospital ecosystem in which Ceribell sells and could plausibly enter bedside brain monitoring via M&A or internal development.
