The Australian-developed Minder system is an implantable device for continuous monitoring of brain activity in patients with epilepsy, developed to address the shortcomings in current electroencephalogram technologies
The FDA has granted authorisation for Minder under its De Novo pathway creating a new classification of device, allowing for marketing and sale of the device in the US for patients with drug resistant epilepsy
Epiminder intends to launch Minder in the US during H2 2025
MELBOURNE, Australia and DALLAS, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Epiminder, a pioneering medical device and information solutions company, today announced that it has been granted FDA authorisation via the De Novo classification for Minder, its proprietary implantable continuous electroencephalogram monitoring system (iCEMTM) for patients with epilepsy. Minder has also been designated as a Breakthrough Technology by the FDA, recognising its potential to provide more effective diagnosis and management for people living with epilepsy. This De Novo authorization is significant as it creates a new classification of device which underscores both the innovation and the clinical validation behind Minder.
Without accurate diagnosis and monitoring, sustained and effective management of epilepsy can be challenging. Minder has been developed to address the shortcomings in current electroencephalogram (EEG) technologies, providing reliable and actionable diagnostic data for more patients and therefore better enabling their prospects for successful epilepsy treatment.
Rohan Hoare PhD, CEO of Epiminder, said: ” By extending the monitoring window of an EEG from days using current technologies to months or even years with Minder, we can deliver unprecedented access to a high-fidelity stream of continuous EEG data to health care professionals and their patients.
The FDA’s clearance of Minder is a significant milestone for Epiminder and more importantly for the 52 million people around the world who have epilepsy. As the first and only implantable continuous EEG monitor approved in US, Minder can provide health care professionals and their patients with more accurate and timely diagnoses, enhanced therapeutic drug monitoring, and can better inform decisions on non-drug treatments like surgery.
Looking ahead, Epiminder plans to develop a suite of integrated software solutions that will extend the clinical impact of the Minder device, for example by providing patients with advance notice of seizures through AI-enabled forecasting.”
Epiminder intends to formally launch Minder in the US during H2 2025 undertaking a phased commercial roll out into leading epilepsy centres as part of a program to demonstrate the clinical utility of the system.
Professor Robert Fisher MD, PhD, Director of the Stanford Epilepsy Center, past-President of the American Epilepsy Society, and Chair of the Data Safety Monitoring Board for the UMPIRE trial, said: “One of the greatest difficulties in caring for people with epilepsy is the lack of accurate information about a patient’s seizures. Seizure diaries are of limited effectiveness. Minder can greatly improve seizure tracking and therefore seizure management. It will fill the significant gap in current EEG technologies, providing clinicians like me continuous and accurate data. By having a more complete picture, we can be more precise in our diagnoses, better able to rapidly adjust medication or neuromodulation regimens and identify patients for potential non-drug or surgical treatments. The result will be a reduction in the huge burden of drug resistant epilepsy.”
The safety and effectiveness of Minder was validated through Epiminder’s UMPIRE clinical study, a multi-centre prospective, open design, case-controlled comparator trial that was undertaken in leading Australian hospitals between 2019 and 2023. The results of UMPIRE were used to support Epiminder’s successful FDA application.
Professor Mark Cook MD MBBS FRACP FRCP (London), Epiminder’s Founder and Chief Medical Officer, said: “The results from UMPIRE exceeded our expectations and demonstrated Minder’s ability to capture high-quality EEG data continuously for extended periods, including a groundbreaking five-year continuous recording in one participant. Minder delivered actionable clinical insights for nearly 90 percent of study participants, highlighting the real-life benefits that Epiminder’s best-in-class iCEM can deliver relative to the current standard of care.”
Epilepsy is one of the most common serious chronic neurological disorders, affecting approximately 52 million people worldwide including 250,000 Australians and 3.4 million Americans. It is a neurological condition where a person experiences recurrent seizures caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. Seizures can present with a variety of clinical manifestations; some involve motor symptoms, such as intense muscle contractions, while others, such as absence or focal impaired awareness seizures, may present with subtle or no outward physical signs. The occurrence of seizures varies in frequency among patients, from less than one a year to several a day.
Minder is a minimally invasive device for continuous monitoring of electrographic activity of the brain, providing epilepsy patients and their doctors with detailed data on brain activity over an extended period. Patients can wear the device as they go about their normal daily activities.
Minder’s long-term monitoring of patients outside of a controlled clinical environment provides data needed for better understanding and more effective treatment of underlying conditions, including determining the effectiveness of drug therapies and other potential interventions.
About Epiminder
Founded in 2017 by Professor Mark Cook together with the Bionics Institute, St Vincent’s Hospital, the University of Melbourne and Cochlear Limited. Epiminder is a medical device and information solutions company focused on developing diagnostic and treatment tools for epilepsy and other seizure disorders where continuous monitoring is required. Epiminder is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia and has offices in the United States.
AUCKLAND, New Zealand, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Alternative lender Bizcap has recorded its biggest month yet in New Zealand, driven by a sharp rise in uptake of its Line of Credit product. The result follows a record-breaking February, with March originations climbing a further 4%, underlining sustained momentum across the country’s small business finance sector.
In a sign of growing demand for flexible, ongoing access to capital, 41% of all March deals in NZ were Line of Credit facilities, confirming strong product-market fit just months after launch.
“This level of uptake, so soon after releasing the product, validates what we’ve been hearing from advisers and SMEs: New Zealand businesses need simpler, faster ways to manage cash flow and snap up opportunities,” said Adam Szental, Chief Operating Officer at Bizcap. “And with major tech upgrades being launched—like our new Partner Portal—we’re making the experience even more seamless for advisers and their clients.”

LOS ANGELES, April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Insta360, the world’s best-selling 360° camera brand, is thrilled to announce Insta360 X5, its latest flagship camera. Combining groundbreaking image quality, rugged durability, and AI-powered ease of use, X5 sets a new benchmark for what 360° cameras can achieve.
Insta360 X5 Launch Video
X5’s larger 1/1.28″ sensors and lightning-fast Triple AI Chip system deliver a dramatic leap in image quality across all resolutions, including stunning 8K30fps 360° video. With PureVideo, a new AI-powered low-light mode, X5 achieves crisp, cinematic footage in challenging lighting.
Built for adventure, this is the toughest 360° camera ever. Its lenses are crafted from a new ultra-durable glass, while a first-of-its-kind replaceable lens system sets a new standard for the industry, allowing you to swap out damaged lenses on the go. Further hardware upgrades like a built-in wind guard, extended 3-hour battery life, and waterproofing to 49ft, make X5 the ultimate companion for active creators.
From shooting to sharing, X5 makes 360° creation effortless. The all-new InstaFrame Mode simultaneously captures an auto-framed, ready-to-share flat video and a full 360° video to fine-tune later. The Insta360 app has undergone a transformation with more intuitive editing tools, and X5 pairs with the Insta360+ cloud service, where you can instantly share 360º clips, edit on the cloud, and more.
“X5 redefines 360° cameras by solving creators’ real challenges,” said JK Liu, Insta360’s Founder. “From replaceable lenses to AI-powered low-light shooting, we’ve built our dream camera—rugged enough for adventure, capable enough to produce high quality footage, and intelligent enough to capture epic moments effortlessly.”
Insta360 X5 is available to order from April 22, 2025, via the Insta360 Official Store, Amazon, and select retailers, priced at US$549.99.
Insta360 X5 officially launched today at Insta360’s pop-up event at NYC’s Grand Central Terminal, where the groundbreaking 360º camera is available for purchase on-site from 9am to 5pm. Attendees are queuing around the block to be among the first people in the world to take home the 8K 360º camera. Inside, the atmosphere is buzzing with excitement, with hands-on demonstrations and appearances from top creators, including Jesse Wellens (@jessewelle) and Jen Smith (@jeanapvp). The huge 3.6m X5 installation provides the perfect photo op in the iconic Vanderbilt Hall, where guests can pick up exclusive merch, and meet special guests who’ll be dropping by throughout the day. Whether you’re capturing your first 360º selfie or testing out new AI-powered features, this experience isn’t to be missed.
Unmatched Image Quality, Day and Night
X5’s 8K30fps 360° video looks better than ever, with supersampling from 11K to 8K resulting in minimal loss to image quality for true-to-life shots. But resolution is just part of what determines image quality.
X5’s 1/1.28″ sensors are 144% larger compared to X4’s, meaning they capture far more light. The Triple AI Chip system, made up of one 5nm AI Chip and two Pro Imaging Chips, works wonders to reduce noise for clean, uncompressed images in any conditions. With 140% more computing power, every moment—whether on thrilling rides, underwater adventures, or the trip of a lifetime—becomes clearer, brighter, and more vivid.
Low light capture gets an additional boost with a dedicated mode: PureVideo. Advanced AI noise reduction and dynamic range optimization deliver clear, vibrant footage in low light, perfect for capturing your late-night city explorations, motorcycle rides, and more. Meanwhile, Active HDR has been upgraded to 5.7K60fps for smooth, sharper shots, especially in high-contrast scenes.
360° Capture – Souped Up & Simplified
As the fifth generation, X5 has refined every aspect of 360° capture with incredible results. The beauty of shooting with X5 is that you record everything, everywhere, always. No wondering “Did I frame that right?” or fears of missing an epic moment, just shoot first and choose your angles later, with the invisible selfie stick effect enabling otherwise impossible third-person shots. Ideal for solo creators, travelers, and well… everyone.
But now, there’s a new mode that makes all that 360° goodness simpler to achieve than ever before. Meet InstaFrame. Hit record and X5 produces two files. The first is an instantly shareable flat video, no editing or reframing needed. Here you have the choice of a fixed view that follows a constant direction or a selfie view that keeps you in frame throughout. And the best part? At the same time, you’ll also record a second clip in full 360° so you’ll never miss life’s unexpected moments, from your toddler’s surprise first steps to a dolphin’s sudden appearance beside your kayak.
The Toughest 360° Camera Ever
When a lens cracks mid-adventure, most 360° cameras become paperweights—but with X5 you can swap lenses before the ski lift reaches the top of the next run. No worrying about scratches or paying out of pocket for repairs, easily replace damaged lenses on the go with the handy Replacement Lens Kit.
Designed for the klutzes, the cliff-divers, and the ‘I-just-dropped-it-again’ creators among us, the lenses are also made from a new, high-strength, scratch-resistant glass that makes them far less likely to be damaged in the first place, making X5 a camera you can truly push to the limits.
Elsewhere, X5 has improved in almost every way that an action camera enthusiast could wish for:
Built-in wind guard and improved audio algorithm – a multi-layer steel mesh Wind Guard silences wind noise, while the boosted algorithm offers sharp, immersive sound.
Longer lasting, faster-charging battery – A 2400mAh battery supports up to 185 minutes of recording in 5.7K, using the power-saving Endurance Mode. It can also fast charge from 0 to 80% in just 20 minutes, or the time it takes to finish a cup of coffee.
IP68 waterproofing to 49ft (15m) – go even deeper without a dive housing.
Magnetic mounting system – allows for quick accessory swaps so you’re always prepared for the next shot.
FlowState Stabilization + 360° Horizon Lock – still industry-leading for the smoothest shots possible.
Convenient ways to “hit record” – the new Twist to Shoot feature enables shooting just by twisting a selfie stick back and forth. Other options include Voice Control 2.0, Gesture Control, or pairing with a wireless remote.
The Complete Post-Production Package
The Insta360 app has long been the most sophisticated, user-friendly app for editing 360° content. To coincide with X5’s launch, it has undergone a revamp, with a sleeker user interface and new tools that make editing easier than ever.
A one-tap Dewarp button removes fisheye distortion for natural-looking footage, a new option to one-tap export with zero editing or reframing, and more. This is in addition to existing features such as Quick Edit and AI Edit for semi-automatic and automatic editing, Shot Lab with 40+ AI templates, as well as a full, manual editing suite.
Insta360 Studio, the desktop editing software for highest quality exports, is also available completely free, along with the mobile app.
For the best possible Insta360 experience and a smoother workflow, X5 is compatible with Insta360+, a cloud service offering auto file backup, instant sharing of 360° footage, cloud editing and export, and more, making it easier than ever to share your adventures with the world.
Availability
Insta360 X5 is on sale from April 22, 2025, at the Insta360 Official Store, Amazon, and authorized retailers, starting from US$549.99.
