The company was founded in 2013 by Camilo Anabalón and Raphael Lang: The management team Anabalón and Lang are remaining with the company.

Natus Medical Incorporated has its headquarters in California, USA.  Natus is a leading provider of medical device solutions focused on the diagnosis and treatment of central nervous and sensory system disorders for patients of all ages.
