 I'm Chris van Hoef, I'm heading the wearable health activities at iMac and we're creating innovations both for patients as well as for healthy people. So here you're showing like a smart glass kind of device. Here's like a brain scanning, a real-time brain scanning kind of device. So what does this one do for example? What we're doing here is eye tracking so rather than using a camera to detect your eye motion, we're using electrical signals, electro-ocular ground to detect as fast or even faster eye motion. So if you can turn right here we can see you have right there you have an extra little device that goes out up here and this one measures the muscle movements, right? Yeah. So how does that work? So as soon as your eyes are moving whether it's left right or up down you can measure that potential, that electrical voltage and that's what we capture with the electrodes that are sitting on top and below the eye. So there's no need to have a camera on the eye? Exactly, no need. And how accurate can this be? At the moment we have roughly three degrees of accuracy which is not yet the same as what you could get from a camera but we're working towards achieving that. Nice and what are you showing here with this one? Hi. So who are you? Yeah, my name is Giacci and I'm responsible for the business development for the wearable team. Can you stand over here while I'm filming him? Uh, right here because the mic is right here. So what are we looking at right here? So we are looking at an EEG headset that can measure the green wave and depending on the green wave we can then create the music accordingly. Create the music? In real time so it's not music selection, it's music composition. Is there music right now? So it will be from the Bluetooth speakers or? Yeah. So what does that mean? You're matching the mood? Matching the stress levels, matching... Yeah, depending on your emotion status, cognitive status it will create and adjust the music accordingly. What is the purpose for that? Does it reinforce your mood to get you deeper into your mood that you are in or what is it for? So potentially you can think of a lot of interesting applications like for meditation, for relaxation. So there are a lot of interesting applications that can be enabled by this EEG headset. What is the special thing about this headset? Is there anything special about it? Is it one of those new ones? Is it using the same kind of a basic brain wave sensing that is out there? A lot of these systems today still use gel contacts to get adequate quality. Here we're using dry contacts so you don't need any gel and still you have medical quality brain signals. So it does what? Can we look closer? Can you hold it right here? Can you show me? What is this? So you have conducting rubber electrodes from a partner, that wheeler, a material partner and soft bendable, so comfortable, goes through your hair, measures brain signals without the need for any cumbersome positioning or gluing of electrodes as is done today. Is only towards the front? That's in this particular design. If we can make any mechanical design, if you want to have more in the rear or central location. So how accurate is this? Is it possible that soon in the future we might have something this size that's like an MRI? This system gives you medical quality just like normal brain monitoring today. We have tested it and one of our customers has put it on the market for using intensive care. So the quality is on par. Not like an MRI, no? Not like an MRI. It's on par with traditional brain monitoring for neurological disorder detection. Like much, much lower detail than an MRI. It's lower detail. But can we get to MRI level at some point? Are you working on that? No, we're not working on that. Where we can read your thoughts and read the images you're thinking about. That's what I'm thinking about. Are we getting there? It's a cool thought. Maybe later. And what kind of other things are you sharing here? It's all about wearables, clinical grade. Mental health is an unsolved problem. It's a field of medicine that is not using technology. We are creating wearables for mental stress monitoring and stress management. So this is a smart watch for mental stress management. We detect mental stress with it and we use it then to give feedback to manage it. Because just showing that your stress is not really so interesting. But capturing it or capturing an increase and then directly giving advice, that's where the value lies. So what is it measuring? Is it measuring temperature, humidity? Perspiration indeed. Hard rate, hard rate variability. So three sensing parameters out of which we extract a number of statistical features. So how long does it take to have all these cool things in the market? Well, let's say the fastest case is something 18 months time to market. In some of our medical use cases, we need a lot of clinical validation and we're talking sometimes 6 to 8 years. So it depends from application to application. Cool. So hopefully everything will be 6 to 18 months, right? Hope. All these things need to be speeded up. And iMac is based in Belgium. Headquarters in Belgium. But we have locations in the Netherlands, in the United States as well. Because our customers are worldwide.
