Research summary
The study is on testing healthy volunteers with our COSMA software aiming to obtain the difference in brainwave frequency with continuous usage.
The software is based on various triggers and the triggers were developed based on real-life experience of the patients affected by the illness. The triggers used are Emotional triggers (Specific for every patient based on their life story), Brain triggers activities along with the visual pattern triggers (Visual perception changes are one of the symptoms of Dementia). These triggers are used to note the changes in brainwave activity and pre-dominant regions in the brain, thus developing science-based software for dementia, aiming to provide a genuine solution to improve the quality of life for dementia people by improving the cognitive and behavioural changes
The feasibility study proposed is on healthy volunteers by measuring brainwaves through EEG while using the software without any control group to understand the core activity of brainwaves with respect to each therapy and have usability report on using the software at home during the trial period. The feasibility study will help us plan a clinical study that can be piloted with both healthy and early demented (mild cognitive patient) studies with a larger population with a very clear study design and study protocol to conduct the study.
