Vision is a fundamental sense that allows one to experience and perceive the world around them.

Lacking understanding and perception of light, the congenitally blind do not have this opportunity. Non 24 hour sleep wake disorder is prevalent in individuals that are blind because they cannot visually distinguish day and night.
Market Statistics

Current electric brain stimulation devices and therapies use highly invasive methods or use direct current stimulation.

Highly invasive methods require compliance of patients and are usually not favorable as an option for treatment. Direct current stimulation requires constant, low current which can lead to side effects such as bone growth and neuro-toxicity.Many of the current method of stimulations in the devices are highly invasive and requires surgery

Our goal is to help the blind become more independent by helping them connect with their surroundings and restoring their sleep cycles.

Our device will not only assist the blind in sensing environmental light cues but will also be designed to help these blind individuals blend in with the normal population due to its simplistic and standard design

Our Device

Our noninvasive neuroprosthetic device will deliver phosphenes, or perceptions of light, through the use of electrical brain stimulation (EBS) to the user.With strategic placement of the electrodes, the desired optical nerve can be singled out and be stimulated. Using charge balanced stimulation rather than DC stimulation to provide currents ensures safety and side effect prevention.
This new method for delivering stimuli directly to the brain is a powerful technique with many applications as it is non-invasive, safe and relatively easy to use. The neuroprosthetic would provide people with new ways of experiencing sensory information such as light.

The Competitors

Here are currently four main competitors on the market that assist people with complete blindness. While these competitors do offer devices and solutions to assist completely blind individuals, our device will allow patients to save both money and time. Unlike the other devices, LumiSense V1 will be the most beneficial to patients in an array of categories.
