The headset, which resembles a headphone, uses a technique called neuromodulation to direct ultrasound waves to specific areas of the brain. The device specifically targets the anterior cingulate cortex, which is associated with pain perception and emotional processing.
During research, the device showed impressive results. In one trial, 60% of participants with chronic pain experienced a 33% reduction in pain immediately after the session.
In another experiment, 10 out of 14 depressed patients reported significant improvements in mood after a single session.
Diadem is extremely sensitive, allowing ultrasound to focus on specific areas of the brain that were previously problematic due to the thickness of the skull.
The team is currently preparing for the third phase of clinical trials, after which the device could receive approval for mass use.
