The spin-off of the Science Park of the Newmanbrain UMH is in luck. The company has been awarded in the V edition of the Innova eVIA awards, specifically in the category “Social and Health Care”. This company specializes in the development of software and hardware for biomedical use, mainly in the areas of neuroscience and biomedicine. The Innova eVIA Awards seek to recognize projects that offer innovative solutions based on the use of ICT and with applications in the field of health or healthcare.
Newmanbrain CEO, Pablo Belmonte, pointed out, this recognition is a great impulse to publicize the work of the company: “This award is the consolidation of our dream, which began several years ago with much effort and enthusiasm. It will allow us to give visibility to our project and make tangible the academic knowledge, an objective that we could not have achieved if it were not for the support received from the Research Group of the Physiology Department of the UMH, from the University itself as well as of our family. ”
The spin-off of the UMH Scientific Park has developed an innovative device with the name fNIR BrainSpy 28 for the analysis of brain activity: a portable system that uses nearby infrared technology (fNIR) to measure and record brain functions. This fNIR BrainSpy 28 device helps to relate the response to certain stimuli (affective, cognitive, etc.) with changes in cerebral blood flow that occurs during mental activity.
Newmanbrain is driven by the former director of the Institute of Neurosciences (IN), a mixed center between the UMH and the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), and professor emeritus of the UMH, Carlos Belmonte; by the director of the Department of Physiology of the UMH, Joaquín Ibáñez; by Pablo Belmonte and by Alejandro Méndez.
Once the pre-selection process is finished, the five finalist candidates who choose the prize of that category are the following:
CATEGORY “SOCIAL AND HEALTH CARE”:
“FAMILIADOSpresented by FAMILIADOS HEALTHTECH S.L.
“FIRST CALLpresented by FIRST SOFT S.L.
“HOME MEDICAL DISPENSER” presented by FAGOR HEALTHCARE
“NEWMANBRAIN”presented by NEWMANBRAIN
“RE-HUB”presented by BIOSENSING SOLUTIONS S.L.
The winning nominations will be announced at the awards ceremony that closes this year’s contest and will take place next April (venue still to be confirmed).
EL MUNDO newspaper, in its section of Society and Technology of the Valencian Community on April 1, 2019 and in its digital version as in paper, echoes the fNIR BrainSpy 28 device of Newmanbrain developed in the Science Park of the University Miguel Hermandez de Elche (UMH).
Pablo Belmonte, Newmanbrain CEO, describes, during the interview conducted by EL MUNDO, various features and properties that the fNIR BrainSpy 28 Newmanbrain device offers to evaluate a person’s cognitive or emotional functions in a simple and effective way.

The spin-off of the UMH Scientific Park Newmanbrain has been chosen as a finalist in the contest “Innova Proyecto del IV Certamen Premios Innova eVIA”. The company is specialized in the development of software and hardware for biomedical use, mainly in the areas of neuroscience and biomedicine. After the first choice of finalists, a jury of experts will conduct a second evaluation in which the winners of each category will be selected. The Innova eVIA Awards seek to recognize the effort in scientific and scientific excellence and innovative solutions and developed services in the field of applied technologiesto Health and Active Independent Living.
As its CEO , Pablo Belmonte, points out, this recognition is an important boost for the company: “Being among the best in the area of applied technology to neurosciences and recognizing the effort made, entails a great satisfaction for our team. ” In addition, as part of its award, Newmanbrain will be able to publicize its project in the exhibition organized by the event. This will take place during the day of the awards ceremony which will be held on Thursday, March 22 in Madrid.
During this event, the spin-off part of the Scientific Park of the UMH will present to the attendees some of the innovative technologies that they have developed for biomedical use. “We will show how our device works for the analysis of brain activity. A portable system that uses near infrared technology (fNIR) to measure and record brain functions,” says Belmonte. Furthermore, the company will show how this device helps to relate the response to certain stimuli (affective, cognitive, etc.) and alsod it relationship with the changes in cerebral blood flow that occurs during mental activity.
Newmanbrain is driven by the former director of the Institute of Neurosciences (IN), a mixed center between the UMH and the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), and professor emeritus of the UMH, Carlos Belmonte, by the worker of the Neurosciences Institute Alejandro Méndez, by the director of the Department of Physiology of the UMH, Joaquín Ibáñez, and by Pablo Belmonte. Currently, the company is focused on improving the software and hardware of its device to make it a product of high demand for professionals in Psychology and other potential buyers.
