NeuroMetrix Announces Updates to Quell 2.0 Commercial Strategy


WOBURN, Mass., Oct. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeuroMetrix, Inc. (Nasdaq:NURO), a health technology company that develops and commercializes products for the chronic pain and diabetes markets, today announced important updates to its Quell® 2.0 commercial strategy.  This novel wearable device for the symptomatic relief of chronic pain is central to the Company’s vision of helping people reclaim their lives from chronic pain through neuroscience and technology.

The Company is shifting to an exclusively direct-to-consumer model delivered via the QuellRelief.com website, that will allow it to offer the innovative Quell 2.0 system at accessible price points.  This streamlined distribution model will allow more people with chronic pain to benefit from the advanced Quell pain relief technology.  The new approach will also open the door for more people to take advantage of electrode savings through a subscription service.

This new business model is an outcome of extensive consumer research and in-market validation that started earlier this year.  The Company expects to see improved economics through reduced customer acquisition costs, distribution channel savings, and higher retention rates, resulting in increased customer lifetime value.    

“Our vision is a world where people can live their best life despite chronic pain,” said Shai N. Gozani M.D., Ph.D., President, and Chief Executive Officer, NeuroMetrix.  “To achieve this goal, we believe that everyone living with chronic pain should have the opportunity to experience Quell and determine if it is beneficial to their particular form of chronic pain.  Therefore, we have worked over the past several quarters to refine our business model and distribution system to position us to deliver Quell 2.0 at widely attainable price points.”
