Sentient Medical Systems

Sentient Medical Systems is a U.S. healthcare services company focused on intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring and related neurodiagnostic services for hospitals and surgeons. The company supports brain, spinal, vascular, and otolaryngological procedures where neurological injury risk is a concern, providing real-time monitoring intended to improve patient safety and surgical decision-making. Sentient has described itself as a national provider serving hundreds of healthcare facilities and surgeons with 24/7 coverage. Rather than operating as a therapeutics developer, it functions as a commercial clinical-services business in neuromonitoring. The company was acquired by SpecialtyCare in October 2016 but continues to be referenced as an operating business/unit under the Sentient name.
