Bittium exhibits its products and solutions for neurophysiology at the DGKN 2019 Conference

Oulu, Finland, March 26, 2019 – Bittium exhibits its innovative products and solutions for neuroscience and neurophysiology at DGKN 2019 Conference, on March 28-29 in Freiburg, Germany. At the event Bittium exhibits the wireless Bittium BrainStatus™ EEG amplifier, electrode headband and software meant for real-time brain electrical activity monitoring and Bittium NeurOne™ EEG/ERP system for brain electrical activity measurement. Also presented are the waterproof Bittium Faros™ cardiac ECG signal measuring and monitoring devices and Bittium FastFix™ patch electrode for long term ECG measurement.

At the event Bittium presents the comprehensive solution being developed in collaboration with Cerenion for monitoring the electrical activity of the brain (EEG) of intensive care patients. This is done by combining Bittium BrainStatus™, a wireless EEG-monitoring device designed for monitoring real-time electrical brain activity, with Cerenion’s innovative C-Trend analysis that helps to interpret the brain function of intensive care patients using a simple C-Trend Index, which is easy to follow. The purpose of the solution is to ease and speed up the work of the nursing staff at the intensive care unit.

Bittium NeurOne system is used by many high-ranking research institutes for measuring concurrent EEG with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS-EEG). Bittium NeurOne real-time DigiOut functionality enables TMS stimulation at the certain moment of EEG wave e.g. based on 10 Hz alpha frequency/phase (alpha rhythm on occipital area or mu rhythm on motor area). Based on the application, terms Brain State dependent stimulation or Closed Loop TMS stimulation are used. Dynamic range of NeurOne Tesla amplifier (±430 mV) makes Tesla-amplifier especially suitable for all EEG measurements during various stimulations.

Products and solutions exhibited at the event are:

  • Bittium NeurOne is one of the quickest and most accurate EEG measuring devices in the world designed for clinical and research use. Bittium NeurOne system enables fully synchronized group measuring of up to 30 persons simultaneously for example in different types of psychological studies. The solution is optimized for use with transcranial magnetic stimulators (TMS-EEG), with optional possibility to use it during magnetic resonance imaging procedures (fMRI-EEG).
  • Bittium BrainStatus is a wireless compact EEG amplifier, which is used together with a disposable easy and quick to wear Bittium BrainStatus electrode headband, for example to diagnose epileptic seizures and brain stroke. Bittium BrainStatus enables quick measurement in field conditions as well as in hospitals, thus making the treatment process of the patient faster. Bittium BrainStatus can be used for wireless real-time remote EEG monitoring or data can be recorded in the device memory.
  • Bittium BrainStatus with Cerenion C-Trend is the world’s first practical method for measuring the brain function of intensive care patients. C-Trend technology aims to reveal the status of the brain as one simple and easy to interpret score. Bittium BrainStatus measures and monitors the EEG signal and C-Trend interprets the signal to a simple score by using advanced machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence.
  • Bittium Faros is a versatile waterproof ECG device that is used for early detection of cardiac abnormalities in everyday life. Bittium Faros is ultra-small and lightweight, which enables precise full disclosure ECG measurements for long-term Holtering, cardiac event monitoring, mobile cardiac telemetry and assessing autonomic nervous system functions.

Bittium Faros outpatient monitoring solutions include several software options for cardiac monitoring. The built-in arrhythmia detection algorithms on the Bittium Faros device are used for event recording and cardiac event monitoring. Bittium’s solutions enable the earlier discharge of patients and the ability to quickly react to detected arrhythmias faster.

Bittium’s products and solutions are exhibited at stand 37.
