Transcranial photobiomodulation cap
An innovative medical device for brain stimulation
This transcranial photobiomodulation cap is a non-invasive medical device using near-infrared light to target brain tissues.
Developed for applications in neurodegenerative treatments, brain trauma and psychiatric disorders, it integrates a textile architecture hosting a system for homogeneous and controlled diffusion of light energy.
The objective: design a reliable, reproducible device compatible with demanding clinical protocols.
Our technical approach
Complete support from functional prototype to certified production.
Architecture & onboarding
