Lucid

Lucid redefines tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) as a user-centred therapy solution for depression treatment. Using advanced design and technology, it overcomes limitations of traditional therapy, medication, and psychotherapy. Lucid uses the EEG 10-20 system to ensure precise electrode placement, specifically targeting F3 and FP2 points for accurate stimulation. Its ergonomic design adapts to the userís scalp for extended comfort, and a built-in guide simplifies electrode placement. Free movement is enabled with wireless connectivity, and real-time skin temperature sensors adjust stimulation intensity to prevent irritation, accommodating diverse needs. To ensure ease of use, even for first-time users, it incorporates an intuitive interface and a durable gel-type electrode that minimises maintenance. In addition, tailored therapy sessions leverage user data to recommend optimal settings, with options to share the data with healthcare providers for professional guidance and long-term management. Lucid expands functionality by including multi-therapy options, such as auditory therapy through bone-conduction headphones. When connected to a healthcare app, users can also monitor progress, manage schedules, and receive real-time feedback for seamless care. This device combines precision, comfort, and advanced technology to make tDCS an effective, practical, and empowering mental healthcare solution.
