Cerca Magnetics is a UK-based MedTech startup that has developed a wearable brain scanner utilizing quantum sensing technology. Their system is based on magnetoencephalography (MEG) and replaces traditional fixed scanners with lightweight, optically-pumped magnetometer sensors. This innovation allows for natural patient movement during scans, enabling brain imaging of infants for the first time and making advanced brain imaging more accessible for children and for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological conditions like epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and dementia. The company is progressing through clinical approval pathways in the UK and the US and works with research institutions, healthcare providers, and government partners worldwide.
