Problem
Neurological conditions often require extensive rehabilitation, but access to specialized clinics and therapists can be limited, leading to delayed or incomplete recovery for patients. Traditional rehabilitation methods may also be inconvenient and time-consuming, hindering consistent adherence to therapy plans.
Solution
CandelStim offers a safe and non-invasive brain rehabilitation solution using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) technology, enabling patients to perform therapeutic exercises at home or in medical centers. The CandelStim device combines advanced hardware and software to deliver low-intensity electrical current to the scalp, modulating brain cell excitability and promoting neurological recovery. Paired with the CandelApp, patients can engage in cognitive stimulation games concurrently with tDCS therapy. This approach enhances convenience, promotes consistent therapy adherence, and improves rehabilitation outcomes compared to conventional methods.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes patients recovering from neurological conditions such as stroke, as well as healthcare professionals seeking innovative rehabilitation tools for their patients.
