ADHD headband treats symptoms in 20 minutes per day
An innovative start-up is out to change how attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is managed, bypassing the traditional route of medication to instead use non-invasive light electrical brain stimulation delivered by a headband worn for just 20 minutes a day.
Neurode's goal is to make treating ADHD and self-management of its many complex and varying symptoms much easier – since there is no cure – by way of light electrical stimulation delivered to the prefrontal cortex (PFC), the region of the brain that controls executive function and focus. Worn for 20 minutes a day, the creators say the brain stimulation helps manage focus, memory and impulse control – key components of executive function that makes daily life for those with ADHD such a challenge. The headband and app also features an AI assistant named Rae, primarily to help users reduce overwhelm – something that can lead to everything from emotional dysregulation to task paralysis and risky coping mechanisms – and form user-friendly, personalized to-do lists.
