Kit and system for transcranial brain stimulation
A kit for transcranial brain stimulation is disclosed. The kit comprises a headset for transcranial brain stimulation, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program which is executable on an electronic device having processing capabilities. The program comprises program code portions which when executed on the electronic device is configured to: store, in a computer memory, a schedule for performing the transcranial brain stimulation; and generate a control signal for the headset such that transcranial brain stimulation is performed according to the schedule for performing the transcranial brain stimulation. The headset comprises: a wireless transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate with the electronic device; a circuit comprising a first electrode, a second electrode and a power source configured to provide power to the circuit; and a controller being configured to control powering of the circuit according to the control signal.
1. A system comprising a server and a plurality of kits, wherein each kit comprises a headset for transcranial brain stimulation, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program which is executable on an electronic device having processing capabilities, wherein the program comprises program code portions which when executed on the electronic device is configured to:
establish a first communication channel between the electronic device on which the program is executed and the server, and establish a second communication channel between the electronic device on which the program is executed and the headset, wherein first and second communication channels are independent from each other,
store, in a computer memory, a schedule for performing the transcranial brain stimulation,
generate a control signal for the headset such that transcranial brain stimulation is performed on a user according to the schedule for performing the transcranial brain stimulation,
prompt the user of the electronic device on which the program is executed to input information pertaining to status of the user,
send the information pertaining to status of the user to the server,
record information pertaining to performed transcranial brain stimulation of the user, and
send the recorded information pertaining to performed transcranial brain stimulation of the user to the server;
wherein the headset comprises:
a wireless transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate with the electronic device,
a circuit comprising a first electrode, a second electrode, and a power source configured to provide power to the circuit, and
a controller being configured to control powering of the circuit according to the control signal;
wherein the server is configured to correlate and store the information pertaining to status of the user and the information pertaining to performed transcranial brain stimulation of the user.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein prompt the user of the electronic device on which the program is executed to input information pertaining to status of the user comprises prompt the user of the kit to input information pertaining to status of the user according to Phq-9, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI, BDI-1A, BDI-II), Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS, MADRS-s), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) or any other psychiatric rating scale.
3. A system comprising a server and a plurality of kits, wherein each kit comprises a headset for transcranial brain stimulation, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program which is executable on an electronic device having processing capabilities, wherein the program comprises program code portions which when executed on the electronic device is configured to:
establish a first communication channel between the electronic device on which the program is executed and the server, and establish a second communication channel between the electronic device on which the program is executed and the headset, wherein first and second communication channels are independent from each other,
store, in a computer memory, a schedule for performing the transcranial brain stimulation on a user,
generate a control signal for the headset such that transcranial brain stimulation is performed on the user according to the schedule for performing the transcranial brain stimulation,
prompt the user of the electronic device on which the program is executed to input information pertaining to status of the user,
record information pertaining to performed transcranial brain stimulation of the user,
correlate the information pertaining to status of the user and the information pertaining to performed transcranial brain stimulation of the user before being sent to the server, and
send the correlated information to the server;
wherein the headset comprises:
a wireless transceiver configured to wirelessly communicate with the electronic device,
a circuit comprising a first electrode, a second electrode and a power source configured to provide power to the circuit, and
a controller being configured to control powering of the circuit according to the control signal.
4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein prompt the user of the electronic device on which the program is executed to input information pertaining to status of the user comprises prompt the user of the kit to input information pertaining to status of the user according to Phq-9, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI, BDI-1A, BDI-II), Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS, MADRS-s), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) or any other psychiatric rating scale.
