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.

  • Class IIa Medical Device

    Vguard is a Class IIa medical device, CE-marked in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/745 on medical devices (MDR). The conformity assessment was carried out with the involvement of the notified body TÜV Rheinland LGA Products GmbH (NB 0197).

  • Over 25 Years of VNS Use

    Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been used clinically in neurology and psychiatry for over 25 years, including in the treatment of epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression.

  • Vguard: Designed for Memory Therapy

    Vguard is the result of over 10 years of research and development. The technology uses non-invasive stimulation of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve during sleep in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment (MCI)

Who is Vguard intended for?

Vguard is intended for use in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), in accordance with the device’s intended purpose. Treatment requires prior medical qualification.

For families and caregivers
