Aspect Medical Systems was founded in 1987and is a provider of brain monitoring technologies. Aspect’s premier product — Bispectral Index (BIS™) technology —became the first clinically proven and commercially available direct measure of the effects of anesthetics and sedatives on the brain. At present an estimated 20 million patients undergo surgery with general anesthesia or deep sedation each year in the United States, and an additional 30 million in Europe and Japan. BIS technology allows medical professionals to reliably assess level of consciousness and customize the precise amount of drug required by each patient, resulting in better overall patient care and fewer undesirable events.
On September 28, 2009, Covidien (NYSE: COV) and Aspect Medical Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASPM) today announced that Covidien has reached a definitive agreement to acquire Aspect, a global market leader in brain monitoring technology.

We considered many names for our site—in fact we spent our first year and a half under a different name—EkoHub. We liked “Eko” — coming from the Greek word Oikos, related to economy, ecology, and “home” or social concerns. From the beginning, we believed the word “Hub” reflected our desire to be at the center of the sustainability area, providing knowledge, harmony, and consensus among the hundreds of experts judging the ESG performance of companies.
