As Korea faces the growing challenge of caring for an aging society, one start-up hopes to help reduce the social costs by treating and diagnosing mental disorders without the use of drugs.
Ybrain, a Seoul-based medical technology start-up, aims to create wearable devices that help doctors and patients treat mental diseases in their early stages, and even prevent them. Its ultimate goal is a medical device tackling the most common form of dementia ? Alzheimer’s disease, which it views as the most challenging illness facing humans today. In 15-20 years, it hopes for a device that could be used for 30 minutes a day by healthy middle-aged users that would prevent Alzheimer’s disease in their 80s or 90s.
