EXHIBIT 99.1

NeuroMetrix, Inc. Reports Total Revenues of $14.0 Million for the Second Quarter of 2006, 73% Growth over Second Quarter of 2005; GAAP Net Income of $1.5 million, Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income of $2.2 million

WALTHAM, Mass.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—July 27, 2006—NeuroMetrix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NURO), a medical device company focused on the design, development and sale of proprietary products used to diagnose neuropathies, or diseases of the nerves, announced today the financial results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006.

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company’s second quarter, were $14.0 million, compared with $8.1 million for the second quarter of 2005, representing an increase of 73%.  During the three month periods ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, 86% and 88% of revenues, respectively, were derived from biosensor sales and 14% and 12% of revenues, respectively, were derived from diagnostic device sales.

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006, were $25.8 million, compared with $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, representing an increase of 74%.  During the six month periods ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, 87% and 88% of revenues, respectively, were derived from biosensor sales and 13% and 12% of revenues, respectively, were derived from diagnostic device sales.

The gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 2006 was 75.8% of revenues compared with 74.1% of revenues for the second quarter of 2005.  In the second quarter of 2006, the gross margin percentage for biosensors was 74.9% of revenues compared with 74.2% of revenues in the second quarter of 2005.  The gross margin percentage for diagnostic devices was 81.4% of revenues for the second quarter of 2006, compared with 73.0% of revenues for the second quarter of 2005.

The gross margin percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was 75.7% of revenues compared with 73.7% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005.  The gross margin percentage for biosensors was 74.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared with 73.8% for the same period in 2005.  The gross margin percentage for diagnostic devices was 81.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared with 73.0% for the same period in 2005.

Net income calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for the second quarter of 2006 was $1,530,700, compared with a net loss of $(40,100) for the second quarter of 2005, including stock-based compensation expense of $626,800 and $71,900 for the second quarter of 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The large increase in stock-based compensation expense was due to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (“SFAS 123R”) in 2006.  Excluding stock-based compensation expense, non-GAAP adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2006 was $2,157,500, compared with a non-GAAP adjusted net income of $31,800 for the second quarter of 2005.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $34.7 million as of June 30, 2006, compared with $32.3 million as of December 31, 2005.

Shai N. Gozani, M.D., Ph.D., NeuroMetrix’s President & CEO commented, “During the second quarter of 2006, we posted top line growth of 73% on a year over year basis due to continuing strong demand from our existing customers and due to expansion of our customer base using our NC-stat neuropathy diagnostic solution.  We continued to see strong penetration into the primary care physician market, which now represents 72% of total biosensor usage.  We experienced an increase of 102% in biosensor usage on a year-over-year basis by primary care physicians in the second quarter of 2006.  We expanded our overall active customer count to a total of 4,068 physician practices and clinics, as of the end of the second quarter of 2006, compared with 2,696 at the end of the second quarter of 2005.  A total of 287,200 biosensors were used by our customers during the second quarter of 2006, an increase of 66% over the 173,100 biosensors used by our customers in the second quarter of 2005.”

Dr. Gozani further commented:  “We recently completed the expansion of our sales force to a total of 46 regional sales managers and added Physician Sales & Services with their 700 sales reps as a national partner to generate qualified sales leads for our direct sales force.  We believe that the strengthening of our sales and marketing capabilities will further advance our goal of creating a new standard of care throughout the marketplace.”

Dr Gozani continued:  “We were also able to leverage our investments in sales and marketing and all other areas of the company in the second quarter of 2006 to expand our operating margins and improve our bottom line results.  We generated positive cash flows and increased our cash and investment position by $2.4 million during the quarter.  We are very pleased with these results.”

Company to Host Live Conference Call and Webcast

The Company’s management team will host a live conference call and webcast at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on Thursday, July 27, 2006 to discuss the Company’s financial results for the three month period ending June 30, 2006. In addition, the Company may answer

3




questions concerning business and financial developments and trends, and other business and financial matters affecting the Company.  The conference call may be accessed in the United States by dialing 1-866-510-0710 and using the confirmation code 45014028.  Internationally, the conference call may be accessed by dialing 617-597-5378, and using the same confirmation code. The webcast, along with the earnings press release and accompanying condensed financial statements, will be accessible from the Company’s website at www.neurometrix.com under the “Investors” tab and a replay of the webcast will be available on the Company’s website for twelve months.  A replay of the conference call will be available starting two hours after the call by dialing 1-888-286-8010, domestically and 1-617-801-6888, internationally. The confirmation code to access the replay is 97813660.  The replay will be available for three months following the conference call.

Non-GAAP Information

In addition to disclosing results calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company has also disclosed non-GAAP financial results that exclude stock-based compensation expense calculated under the requirements of SFAS 123R and under certain additional accounting pronouncements.  Management believes that these non-GAAP financial results provide useful information to investors regarding the financial performance of the Company and management believes that this non-GAAP financial information facilitates comparisons with historical financial results.  Management uses these non-GAAP financial results for purposes of managing the business, planning, forecasting, determining compensation, for comparative purposes when assessing results versus peer companies and for other purposes.  Given the importance of these non-GAAP financial results to the Company, the Company has disclosed this information to investors to facilitate an assessment of financial performance on the same basis as that applied by management.  The Company feels that it is important for investors to understand the Company’s financial results with and without the impact of the non-cash stock-based compensation expense resulting from the grant of stock options and other equity awards.

Non-GAAP information should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP information.  Investors and other users of the Company’s financial statements should consider all information, including stock based compensation expense, when assessing the Company’s financial performance.  A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial results has been included in tabular form in this press release.
