About Ripple Neuromed
Ripple Neuromed builds systems for recording and stimulating the nervous system in human research, used by university researchers in the lab, in hospitals and in clinical environments.
We are a small, independent neurotechnology company made up largely of engineers and researchers. Ripple Neuromed works alongside Ripple Neuro, which serves animal neuroscience, and Iris Biomedical, which carries our implant and translation work for medical device development.
What researchers use Ripple technology to do
Basic neuroscience
Understand how the nervous system works: language processing, decision making, neural population dynamics.
Prosthetic development
Restore movement and sensation for people with limb loss or paralysis.
Brain-computer interfaces
Enable new ways to interact with the world: communication, assistive control, sensorimotor restoration.
EMU and IONM research
Study the human brain in clinical settings, from sEEG epilepsy research to intraoperative neurophysiology.
New medical device development
Support the development and translation of next-generation therapies, such as closed-loop DBS and implantable neural interfaces.

Andrew Wilder, PhD
Chief Executive Officer
Read bio
An owner of Ripple, Andrew is in his tenth year with the company. During his tenure Andrew has contributed in many roles from managing the software development team to leading sales, finance, operations, and business development efforts. As Chief Executive Officer, Andrew is focused on expanding Ripple's portfolio of cutting edge neuro-technologies and growing these technologies into great companies that have a profound and lasting impact on the clinical neuro-therapeutic, and neuroscience research markets.
Andrew earned his Ph.D in Computer Science from the University of Utah. His research focused on developing a neuro-assistive device for people with spinal cord injury. As part of this effort he developed software systems to control functional electrical stimulation on hundreds of electrodes implanted in peripheral nerves. Andrew started at Ripple in 2009 as a software engineer developing applications for control of stimulation and real-time visualization of neural data. In his spare time Andrew cultivates his life-long passion for outdoor adventure.

Scott Hiatt, ME
Chief Technology Officer
Read bio
Scott has developed many commercial mixed-signal systems for neural signal acquisition and stimulation, with particular emphasis on very low amplitude mixed-signal circuit design and hardware level programming. As Chief Technology Officer, Scott's work is focused on fully implantable biopotential recording systems and next generation highly selective implantable stimulators to facilitate new research in bioelectric medicine, brain machine interfaces and basic neuroscience understanding. Scott completed his Master of Engineering and Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering while working in the Center of Neural Engineering at the University of Utah under the direction of Professor Richard Normann developing stimulation hardware, firmware and drivers to explore reanimation of paralyzed limbs by selective simultaneous access to hundreds of microelectrodes.
Scott deployed as a Forward Observer for the Mortar Section of C. Co 4th Light Armored Reconnaissance in the United States Marine Corps for Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. He ended his military service in 2005 as a Sergeant in the Marine Corps Reserve. He and his wife Mieka have 5 children, and are all most happy exploring the National Parks.
