This fresh capital will be used by Singapore-based SynPhNe to expand its rehabilitation services, particularly in the US market.
Founded in 2013, SynPhNe has developed a wearable solution that trains brains and muscles in one system. Real-time synchronised EEG (Electroencephalogram) and EEG (Electromyography EMG) signals are captured during tasks and activities to create a self-correcting learning loop. This makes it possible to self-administer physical therapy, occupational therapy, and Neurotherapy protocols at home, after initial training with a therapist.
SynPhNe claims to have helped individuals with physical disabilities (resulting from neurological pathologies such as stroke, traumatic brain injury and cerebral palsy), learning disorders, ageing challenges (such as memory and functional decline), chronic stress and pain.
