Treating anxiety and insomnia with electrical pulses - Dr Jason McKeown from Neurovalens
Description
Brainwaves and brain-boxes in Belfast where a tech startup's mission is to zap brains across the world with electricity
Dr Jason McKeown is the founder of Belfast tech start-up Neurovalens. His medical devices, which he has been developing for the last six years, have recently won two approvals from the powerful Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US.
These devices pulse electricity into the brain to treat conditions like anxiety or insomnia. The alternative treatments to date have involved expensive surgery, or drugs with side effects. His devices, also made in Northern Ireland, are non-invasive and are placed at the back of the head for short periods each day.
With the recent approvals the company is gearing up to hit the US market. News, numbers and part-time dictators all feature. Nichola Mallon of logistics UK joins the discussion.
