Dr. Lee is intimately familiar with the MPDD device and used it as a diagnostic tool in a study of using advanced techniques to treat myofascial pain along with Dr. Michel Dubois MD at NYU. Dr. Lee's professional interests include pain diagnosis and treatment, disorders of the spine, central, and peripheral nervous system, with a special interest in advanced interventional techniques and minimally invasive spinal procedures. "The MPDD has the potential to become a universal and consistently reliable device for numerous physicians to diagnose certain pain syndromes and therefore lead to more efficient and optimum treatments for patients." says Dr. Lee.

MPDD devices will be priced between $12,000.00 and $20,000.00 depending on the package level of training and education purchased by physicians and health organizations. The Company will market to pain physicians, primary physicians, Internists, sports medicine physicians and physical therapists to name just a few in the significant market for the MPDD device. The MPDD device is only the first of several products which the Company will market in the months and years ahead as the Company is extremely interested in the promising field of bioelectronics and non-opioid treatments of pain.
