Problem and implemented solution

Mental health disorders, particularly depression and dementia, significantly challenge healthcare systems worldwide. The World Health Organization reports that 3.8% of the global population suffers from depression, and over 55 million people live with dementia, with nearly 10 million new cases each year. Despite the high prevalence, effective treatment options are limited, and many patients are hesitant to use antidepressants due to potential side effects and lack of long-term benefits. Additionally, the adoption of new neuroscience-based treatments in clinical settings faces challenges such as gaps in collaboration between neuroscientists and clinicians, high research costs, and complex integration into clinical practices. To address these challenges, our project advances transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) as a non-invasive treatment for neurological and mental health disorders. Our solution includes: Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Bringing together neuroscientists, medical experts, and healthcare leaders to close the gap between research and clinical practice, accelerating the implementation of tDCS innovations. Personalized tDCS Therapy: Utilizing MRI-based software to tailor tDCS therapy to individual patients, optimizing treatment effectiveness by customizing electrode placement and current intensity. Innovative tDCS Devices: Developing the Tes4me by I-cap tDCS, a portable device designed for both clinical and home use, featuring personalized caps for optimal treatment outcomes. Clinical Research and Protocol Development: Conducting clinical trials to validate the effectiveness of tDCS for conditions like dementia, Parkinson's disease, depression, and more, demonstrating significant improvements in patient outcomes. Strategic Partnerships and Market Expansion: Partnering with leading research centers and technology manufacturers to leverage expertise, support regional market expansion, and enhance clinical services. Through these solutions, we aim to improve treatment for mental health and neurological disorders, enhance patient outcomes, and advance the field of non-invasive brain stimulation.
