Home-based Alzheimer’s Therapy
Around 55 million people are affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias, with 10 million new cases annually. Together with our industry partner Bottneuro, we are developing a technology that uses electrical stimulation for therapy.
Delivering precise stimulation requires custom-made caps tailored to each patient, but personalization is costly and complex. Therefore, we developed a workflow that automatically generates a headset contour from an MRI scan, places the electrodes, and designs the electrical wiring, resulting in a 3D-printable headset. Next, we aim to make the process more robust for various head sizes and shapes and integrate features like a lighter structure or embedded electronics.
