Cordelia Ashmore, PhD

I hold a PhD in Neuroscience and a Masters in Computer Science and have spent 16 years working in medical devices, particularly devices for brain-computer-interface systems and clinical devices for doing oculomotor, vestibular, and brain health assessment. At Neuro Kinetics (later Neurolign, then Spryson) I became lead developer and project manager for the VEST clinical platform, part of a suite of FDA-cleared tools for video nystagmography. During that time I oversaw design controls, verification and validation, and design and development processes. I also became manager of the company’s ISO 13485 quality system, and led pre-submission and other interaction meetings with FDA. I led and submitted a 510(k) update that cleared new features for the platform (K181025), and significantly contributed to four other submissions. I have done professional development in multiple languages including C++, LabVIEW, and Python. As part of this work I have been co-inventor on four US patents in neurological assessment and rehabilitation technology and co-author of thirteen peer-reviewed research articles plus two reviews and book chapters, spanning brain-computer interfaces, oculomotor testing, vocal production, and concussion. At Innolitics I help clients take software-driven devices from design input through verification, regulatory assessment and documentation, and submission.
