The collaboration began through a competitive research grant aimed at advancing next-generation neurostimulation systems for movement disorders. By funding Aleva’s clinical research and technology refinement, the Foundation helped accelerate the transition from experimental design to patient-ready therapy — aligning both organisations around the shared goal of better quality of life for people living with Parkinson’s.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation Overview
The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research is the world’s largest non-profit funder of Parkinson’s research, founded in 2000 by actor and advocate Michael J. Fox. MJFF supports scientific excellence across academia and industry to accelerate breakthroughs in diagnosis, treatment, and ultimately a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
Partnership Highlights
Through the Foundation’s support, Aleva advanced the validation of its directSTIM system as a therapeutic alternative to medication-based treatment. The collaboration fostered data-driven insights into symptom reduction and programming efficiency, contributing to Aleva’s broader clinical strategy and visibility within the global Parkinson’s research community.
