Dr. Simran Sedani

MD, SFHM, FACP, MHA | Internal Medicine

With over 21 years of experience as an Inpatient Medicine Physician and Hospitalist, Dr. Simran Sedani has a profound understanding of the complexities of the human body and mind, as well as the gaps in the modern healthcare system. Transition of care to and from the Hospital is difficult, not just for the medically frail, but more so for the neurodivergent and those with mental health challenges. She has firsthand experience with the bureaucratic barriers inherent in our health system that prevent newer technologies from reaching those who most need them. In conditions with limited treatment options, it becomes crucial to access safe, non-invasive, and novel technologies that can improve the lives of those struggling with day-to-day living and those with disabilities.

Dr. Sedani was internationally educated at the prestigious University of Santo Tomas in the Philippines, completed her residency at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, and spent most of her career in various clinical and administrative roles in a multispecialty health system. She has practiced across two states, managing acute cases and improving care delivery and outcomes in and out of the Hospital setting.

What is MeRT
Therapy?

MeRT stands for Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy. It is a neuromodulation technique that uses gentle magnetic pulses applied externally to specific areas of the brain to stimulate activity.

rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) is a precursor to this treatment and has been used by neuropsychiatrists to treat resistant depression and PTSD.

MeRT is similar to rTMS, but it uses a quantitative EEG (qEEG) as a brain map to create a highly individualized treatment plan targeting underperforming brain regions.

The process is more precise, with regular reassessments using qEEG. Because of this, MeRT has broader applications across conditions such as ADHD, anxiety disorders, traumatic brain injury, post-COVID neurological symptoms, and other neurological challenges.

  • Better Focus
  • Communication
  • Improved Sleep
  • Cognitive Clarity

MeRT = Your Brain, Your Plan

First, we create a detailed map of your brain’s electrical activity (EEG). We then use that data to design a personalized treatment plan using gentle magnetic stimulation.

Sessions are conducted in our clinic, last about 30–45 minutes, and feel like a gentle tapping sensation. Most people read, relax, or watch a show during treatment.

  • Non-invasive
  • Data-driven
  • No sedation
  • Personalized
  • Sensory-friendly environment
