After a long time of application and preparation, we finally got the go-ahead for our next big project &#8211; <strong>biomarkers for depression<\/strong>. Thanks to the Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (ZIM) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, we are receiving government funding to get a little closer to our vision. But what is it all about?<\/p>\n\n<p>Mental illnesses like depression have received more and more attention in recent years. Little by little an awareness forms for what used to be an off-limits topic. Especially in times of the corona crisis this topic is more important than ever. Let\u2019s look at the specific figures: every year roughly 28% of the german adult population is affected by a mental illness and this only includes the registered cases.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Project<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Our goal is to develop, together with <strong>Heilbronn University<\/strong>, an objective method with which psychological symptoms such as depression can be diagnosed more specifically, earlier and more reliably. The magic word here is <em>biomarker<\/em>. These are measurable indicators that can confirm the presence of a clinical picture. We all know biomarkers from blood tests and laboratory examinations. However, in the case of psychological symptoms, objective measurements are very rarely used.<\/p>\n\n<p>Already today some doctors use EEG data to support the diagnostic process. However, the evaluation is pretty subjective and requires a lot of practice and measurements that are easy to interpret. Also, this only works well for clear-cut cases. As a result many primary care physicians who often see patients with depression for the first time do not have the necessary equipment and expertise. This is where we come in.<\/p>\n\n<p>The aim of the project is to develop a diagnostic system that will generate an automatic evaluation based on measured brain waves with the help of learned artificial intelligence. A reduced medical EEG-System is used for this purpose. We offer practices a <a href=\"https:\/\/praxis-heiler.de\/en\/neurofeedback-home-training\/\">leasing-model<\/a> for the equipment on request, because a full-fledged EEG device costs about as much as a mid-range car. The broad availability of our system is a central point in the development.<\/p>\n\n<p>The automatically generated report is supposed to enable us and our colleagues to intervene sooner and provide better treatment options. Being able to make a diagnosis in the early stages of an illness minimizes the danger of a delayed or incorrect treatment. <\/p>\n\n<p>Until everything runs as planned, it will still take 2-3 years. But for now the first is done!<\/p>\n\n<p>If you would like to find out more about <a href=\"https:\/\/brainboost.de\/en\/\">EEG and Neurofeedback<\/a>, you will find a lot of information about these topics on our website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are still all excited!
