NeroExo EEG Headset
Antoinette Louw
Stroke affects approximately 795, 000 people in the United States each year. Of these stroke survivors approximately 80% suffer from upper limb paresis that causes muscular weakness from nerve damage due to a stroke.
The NeroExo EEG Headset is a combination of Design and Engineering. The headset has been designed to ensure that stroke patients with upper limb paresis have access to a Wireless EEG Headset that connects to any Upper-limb Rehabilitation Robot as part of an accessible, safe and effective AT-HOME STROKE REHABILITATION SYSTEM. Patients can use the product independently without needing the help from a therapist or caregiver, making recovery effective and possible in the long run.
3-Dimensional adjustability, the front, top and back is adjustable and can be locked into place so patients don’t need to adjust the headset before each use.
5 dry sensors in the top band are connected to a bracket that move up and down and rotate to make correct contact with the scull.
Face sensors are embedded in a flexible silicone housing. The silicone is naturally sticky to ensure they connect to the face.
The Earpieces act as anchors making it easier to put in the headband with only one hand. They also have two grounding sensors.
Hi, I am Antoinette! I was born in Johannesburg South Africa where I was influenced by a culture that believes the purpose of design is to better the lives of everyone. My passion for design lead me to the AAA School of Advertising where I graduated with a degree specializing in Art Direction and Advertising. After a successful career in Advertising I decided to spread my wings and I moved to Houston Texas to study Industrial Design at the University of Houston. I believe that design gives us the ability to improve the lives of those around us. I hope to fulfill this philosophy as I embark on my new adventure.
