About

Forest Devices is a medical device startup based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, founded in 2015. The company develops rapid EEG (electroencephalography) devices for prehospital and emergency neurological assessment. Its flagship product, SignalNED (also referred to as AlphaStroke), is a portable, fast, and accurate rapid EEG device that provides clinicians with quantitative EEG (qEEG) results — delivering a real-time 'window into the brain' to help detect stroke and assess neurological status before imaging is available. SignalNED is designed for use in ambulances and emergency settings, enabling paramedics and emergency responders to assess brain activity and make informed triage decisions that can directly improve patient outcomes for stroke victims and reduce burden on the healthcare system. The device addresses a critical gap in prehospital care: identifying which patients need immediate transport to a stroke center vs. a standard emergency department. Forest Devices has presented at EMS World Expo and its technology has been cited in peer-reviewed medical literature on early ischemic stroke identification.
