Mobile Neurofeedback Device
In neurofeedback, the electrical activity of the brain is measured in real time via EEG and fed back to the user as an image or sound. With targeted training, this makes it possible to improve the brain's self-regulation.
Setup
This neurofeedback product family comprises two devices: a mobile one for home use and a stationary one used at the therapist's practice. The device was planned as a Class IIa medical device under the MDR.
Assignment
All mechanical components, including the textiles, were developed over several iterations from the first prototype to the series product. Electronics and software came from specialists; the electronics platform and industrial design are aligned with the stationary sister device, so both devices share the same base.
Design work throughout followed the requirements of the Medical Device Regulation. This concerns the choice of materials for anything that touches the skin, the breaking loads of load-bearing parts, and the mechanical patient separation — the barriers that protect the patient even if the electronics fail.
Result
The device was certified and approved as a medical device and put into use at the customer's site. The project also gave rise to a small batch of silicone and 3D-printed parts.
