We hereby submit the responses of Helius Medical Technologies,

Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) set forth in the staff’s letter, dated
April 28, 2015, providing the staff’s comments with respect to the
above-referenced Registration Statement on Form 10-12G (the “Registration
Statement”).
Simultaneously with the submission of this letter, the Company
is also filing Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the “Amended

comments.
For the convenience of the staff, each of the staff’s comments
is included and is followed by the corresponding response of the Company.

We have reviewed your response to prior comment 3. We
continue to note, however, that your first full risk factor on page 33
discloses that you have two officers who serve on a full- time basis but
that “[a]ll other officers and employees only provide services to [you] on
a part-time, limited basis.” Please revise your risk factor disclosure and
your disclosure in this section so that they
reconcile.
Response:
The Company has revised the disclosure
in response to the staff’s comment. Please see pages 23 and 33 of the
Amended Registration Statement.

We hereby acknowledge that:
•
the Company is responsible for the adequacy and
accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;

staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to
staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with
respect to the filing; and

any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal
securities laws of the United States.
Sincerely,
