Smart Neurostimulation to improve health and performance
We are a medical technology startup developing a non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation system to boost health and performance, taking advantage of digital technologies
The Vagus Nerve (VN) is the longest cranial nerve which is the main component of the parasympathetic branch of the nervous system, being essential for recovery and balance in our mind and body.
Vagus Nerve activation slows down the activity of many organs such as the heart, lungs and stomach among others, producing relaxation and a healing process.
It’s activation by electrical stimulation (VNS) has been shown to be safe and effective in treating diseases and improving physical and cognitive performance.
The vagus nerve reaches the ear through its auricular branch (aVNS) where it can be stimulated in a non-invasive way. Auricular branch non-invasive stimulation has been shown to activate similar brain regions as invasive stimulation procedures.
We have developed a unique miniaturized wireless earbud that stimulates the auricular branch of the vagus nerve in a safe, effective and comfortable way. Each earbud is custom made to the anatomy of the user’s ear ensuring the efficacy of the treatment which is not posible with standard devices.
Our auricular is an integrated device which allows monitorization of key physiological indicators with the aim to personalize treatment to the user’s needs and ensure the efficacy of the stimulation.
European patent EP 19383020.5
There is extensive scientific and clinical evidence on the potential of the Vagus Nerve electrostimulation for boosting performance (recovery, motor skills, focus, working memory, …), as well as for the treatment of diseases in mental health (trauma and stress-related disorders, anxiety, depression …) neurology (epilepsy, migraine, tinnitus …) cardiology (atrial fibrillation), and metabolic syndrome, among others.
Our stimulator is composed by two electrodes that delivers pleasant pulses and an embedded biosensor. It can be managed by an app connected to a cloud platform that allows to adapt the stimulation to the needs of each use case.
XANA, our first product, is designed to boost physical and cognitive performance, as well as to manage stress, in professional athletes as well as high-demanding key workers.
Developed and validated under medical standards.
Ability to personalize the stimulation parameters to each user.
Customized, large-surface electrodes that distribute stimulation evenly.
Cloud platform that can integrate long-term biomedical monitoring data from other wearables.
Measurement during stimulation of heart rate, heart rate variability and oxygen saturation during stimulation.
Lightweight and small to carry. Charge in the case.
