Singapore-based SynPhNe is a neurological therapeutics startup that hopes to change the recovery process for stroke patients through its sensor-based wearable device.
Fifteen years after an incident, in 2013, Dr Subhasis Banerji founded SynPhNe. The Singapore-based digital neurological therapeutics startup has developed a wearable device to guide stroke patients to follow correct movements so that the recovery process is faster.
The challenges faced by stroke patients are quite severe. According to SynPhNe, in a country like India, there is upwards of seven million such patients, which is regarded as traumatic brain injury, with 60 percent of them being chronic, while the number of therapists stands at around 35,000.
The startup’s wearable device is a set of sensors, which are attached to the arm and head to track the electrical activity in the brain and the muscle linkages. The software in the device captures the signals and guides the affected patient through a set of exercises based on their readings and reactions.
