Digital Therapeutics for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Technology Introduction:
Transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation Technology: By stimulating the vagus nerve through ear-mounted electrodes, this technology modulates the central nervous system and effectively relieves stress and anxiety.Real-Time Multimodal Physiological Signal Monitoring: By integrating signals such as heart rate variability and galvanic skin response, this technology objectively quantifies stress levels and provides real-time feedback.
AI-Driven Personalized Digital Therapeutics: Through AI-based automatic optimization of stimulation parameters, combined with a digital therapeutics app and cloud-based tracking, this technology delivers long-term and precise personalized treatment.
Industrial Applications:
This technology integrates auricular vagus nerve stimulation, physiological signal sensing, and AI-driven modulation to develop a non-invasive, personalized digital therapeutics solution with remote care capabilities. It can monitor stress conditions in real time and dynamically adjust treatment parameters. In the future, it can be applied to mental health, home healthcare, and smart healthcare, with further potential in anxiety treatment, stress management, and mental wellness promotion. This technology is expected to improve the accessibility of mental healthcare and support Taiwan’s digital therapeutics and smart healthcare industries in expanding into the global market.
