Vguard brain stimulator

Modern neuromodulation in the therapy of Alzheimer’s Disease
and memory disorders

Introducing Vguard: a non-invasive nighttime brain therapy

Vguard is a medical device intended for use in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive disorders. It uses non-invasive neuromodulation through stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve. The therapy is administered during sleep, when physiological memory consolidation processes take place. The decision on whether therapy can be initiated is made by a physician.

What is Vguard?

 

  • Vguard is a therapeutic system comprising a neurostimulation device, specially designed ear electrodes, and software supporting the proper use of the therapy.

  • The stimulator delivers controlled electrical impulses to the auricular branch of the vagus nerve without the need for surgery or electrode implantation.

  • The entire system has been designed for regular, long-term use in accordance with the physician’s recommendations.

 

How does Vguard work?

Non-invasive neuromodulation during sleep

human-brain1

Neuromodulation

Signals transmitted via the vagus nerve pathways modulate neural networks in the brain involved in memory processes, including hippocampal activity.

Non-invasive stimulation

Gentle electrical impulses are delivered through electrodes positioned in the appropriate area of the outer ear. The stimulation does not require surgery or the implantation of electrodes.

Therapy during sleep

Vguard is used during sleep, taking advantage of a period when physiological processes of memory consolidation and organization take place.

What makes Vguard different?

Certification and Technology

Vguard combines experience gained from many years of vagus nerve stimulation with technology developed specifically for the treatment of memory disorders and subject to European conformity assessment.

    Lack of effective pharmacological treatment

    Vguard offers a unique, non-pharmacological therapeutic approach, using non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation, proven to be safe and well-tolerated.

  • Unstoppable rise in Alzheimer’s cases

    By 2050, global cases are expected to double, reaching 138 millions, placing immense pressure on families and healthcare systems.

  • A leading cause of mortality

    Alzheimer’s disease is already the 5th leading cause of death worldwide.
