(Nasdaq: CLPT) (the “Company”), a global therapy-enabling platform company providing navigation and delivery to the brain, today announced a collaboration with Higgs Boson Health (Durham, NC) to bring to market a patient-facing digital application based on the ‘ManageMySurgery’ platform and specializing in Drug Delivery to the Brain and Spine, as well as Brain Computer Interfaces.
