Personalized electrical stimulation helmet for the treatment of degenerative brain diseases
CompanyBottneuro AG, Basel, Switzerland
To monitor and treat patients with neurodegenerative and neurological diseases, Bottneuro has specialized in the development of tailor-made tES (transcranial electrical stimulation) and EEG (electroencephalography) caps. Based on MRI data and information about the patient's head anatomy, the company creates a therapy plan and determines the individual positioning of the electrodes within the cap. The 3D printed helmets are equipped with up to 34 electrode channels, enabling targeted, non-invasive stimulation of selected brain areas. In addition to tES, the neurostimulation device is suitable for monitoring brain activity using EEG data. Through repeated recordings, subtle changes in the brain can be observed over time, the development of the disease can be traced, and the patient's response to tES can be evaluated. The implementation of the therapy sessions and/or the EEG measurements is controlled by the patient using an Android tablet. An integrated administration program allows physicians to view EEG and stimulation recordings via a secure server and access monthly session reports. tES shows high potential in the treatment of various physiological and psychological diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy, brain trauma, depression or addictions. In summary, the portable neurostimulation devices and therapy caps enable a new form of home medical care. Relevant treatments can be carried out independently by the patient comfortably and easily from home, thereby promoting patient compliance. The tES and EEG caps are also suitable for monitoring high-risk patients and can help to detect neurological and neurodegenerative diseases at an early stage using digital biomarkers.
