About the CaptaEEG

---

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder impacting millions globally. It is estimated that over 6 million children between ages 3-17 (approximately 9.8% of this age group) in the U.S alone have been diagnosed with ADHD. Additionally, recent research indicates that approximately 4.77% of adults, which equates to around 12.3 million individuals, are patients of persistent ADHD that has followed them from childhood, while 6.06% or 15.6 million adults display ADHD symptoms. 

The condition, characterized by difficulty maintaining attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, has considerable implications on daily functioning and cognitive processing. Traditional therapeutic solutions, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and medication, are often either inaccessible or unaffordable for many. These treatments, for the most part, require ongoing professional support, escalating the associated costs and imposing a time burden on patients. Medication, while effective for some, has potential side effects and does not provide a one-size-fits-all solution. (edited)

Moreover, societal stigmatization around ADHD often results in cases being undiagnosed or unmanaged, particularly in adults. Over the past two decades, the prevalence of ADHD diagnosis has increased consistently, from 6.1% in 1997 to 10.2% in 2016, which underscores the need for affordable, accessible, and efficient solutions. 

CaptaEEG is designed to address these challenges. CaptaEEG is an innovative, wearable device designed to aid focus and attention management for individuals with ADHD. It integrates seamlessly into daily routines, making neurofeedback therapy a more practical and convenient solution. By providing real-time feedback on brain activity, it encourages the development of self-regulation strategies and serves as a complement to ADHD medication. Priced under $150, it offers a cost-effective, accessible tool for both children and adults. Unlike its competitors, CaptaEEG's sleek design and user-friendly interface mitigate the stigma of therapeutic devices and cater to a wide age range. It's a game-changer in ADHD management, designed to empower individuals for a healthier, focused life. Our product offers an affordable, accessible solution for managing ADHD that can be used at home. Utilizing neurofeedback therapy, an effective non-pharmacological method, CaptaEEG trains the brain to self-regulate, thus helping manage ADHD symptoms. 

By providing real-time feedback on brainwave patterns, users can improve their focus levels. This approach is not only cost-effective, reducing reliance on expensive professional therapy sessions, but also enhances accessibility and convenience, ensuring more individuals can benefit from this therapy without the need for extensive time commitments or travel. 

Furthermore, by incorporating neurofeedback therapy into day-to-day tasks, CaptaEEG ensures user engagement and encourages adherence to the therapeutic regimen. With our product, we aim to revolutionize ADHD management, and significantly improve the lives of affected individuals, their families, and society at large.

Our team at CaptaEEG has been dedicated to addressing the unmet needs of individuals diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Recognizing the increasing prevalence of ADHD, the lack of cost-effective, non-invasive, and engaging therapeutic solutions, and the impact this disorder can have on everyday life, our team developed a solution that effectively manages ADHD symptoms, leveraging the benefits of neurofeedback therapy. 

The innovative approach taken by the team involves integrating neurofeedback therapy into daily tasks, breaking away from traditional therapeutic methods. Rather than compartmentalizing therapy into dedicated sessions, the CaptaEEG system incorporates therapy into the user's routine, making it more convenient and less intrusive. The final design of CaptaEEG comprises a wearable EEG device with semi-dry electrodes that provide real-time brainwave data. The system translates this data into subtle vibrational feedback delivered to the back of the user's neck, helping guide their brain into an optimal state for focus and attention. Concurrently, the companion mobile application serves as a monitoring tool, allowing users to track their progress over time.
