Electric stimulation headband tested for Alzheimer’s and MCI

Ybrain is a wearable device that targets brain regions with electrical signals.  Two sensors are embedded in the front of a headband, providing stimulation for 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week, at home.  It is intended for both Alzheimer’s and Mild Cognitive Impairment patients.  The company has built a prototype and will begin clinical trials in Korea in July, 2014.  The target launch date is early 2015.

Soterix Medical  and Halo Neuroscience are developing similar transcranial direct stimulation/neuromodulation devices.
