Bridging cortex and world

Making advanced EEG practical at the bedside.

Complex setup. Crowded bedsides. Disconnected workflows. Bringing advanced EEG into clinical care starts with making it practical to use.

Current clinical issues

Advanced EEG.
A demanding bedside reality.

In neurointensive care and rehabilitation, the practical demands of equipment, setup and specialist coordination can stand between a clinical question and a useful recording.

Every recording starts with the fit.

Positioning the patient, preparing electrodes and establishing signal quality take time and skilled attention.

Space is already spoken for.

Monitors, cables and care equipment share a limited bedside. Any new device has to work within that reality.

The process needs to come together.

Recording, running a task and reviewing the result often involve separate tools and specialist coordination.

The solution

One connected workflow,
from setup to review.

Cortibri brings targeted EEG recording, guided protocols and session review into one compact system. Every stage is designed to work with the next.

  1. 01

    Set up

    Prepare the headset and session around the patient.

    Prepare
  2. 02

    Check the signal

    Make recording quality visible before starting the task.

    Check
  3. 03

    Run a protocol

    Bring task delivery and EEG acquisition into the same workflow.

    Record
  4. 04

    Review the session

    Keep the recording and its context available for specialist review.

    Review

One system. A considered path through the whole session.

Intended workflow

Product design

Designed around
the bedside.

A clinical device has to fit the patient, the care environment and the people using it. These are the starting points for our design.

Three design priorities

Less equipment.
More room for care.

A compact system designed to reduce equipment burden and fit into a space already shared by people, monitors and essential care.

Fit the patient.
Respect the setting.

Bedside positioning and access to the patient inform the physical design. Fit, comfort and compatibility with the care environment are priorities for evaluation.

Clarity at
every step.

Clear setup and recording guidance, with detailed session information available for specialist review. The interface should support the work at hand.

Cortibri is in development. Visuals show the intended product; the design will evolve through technical evaluation and clinical input.

Clinical focus

Three directions.
A common ambition.

Make EEG-based information more accessible where it could matter. These are our proposed areas for development and validation.

First focus

Covert
command-following

Investigating responses to instructions when a patient cannot reliably respond through movement.

Beyond observable movement
Proposed

Seizure
warnings

Exploring EEG-based detection of suspicious seizure activity to support timely specialist review.

Supporting clinical attention
Proposed

Ventilator
cortical load

Investigating brain activity associated with breathing effort during ventilator weaning.

Understanding respiratory effort

Each application requires dedicated technical and clinical validation. Non-detection of command-following remains inconclusive.

The team

Built from research.
Motivated by clinical experience.

Cortibri began with our BCI bachelor project and a question that followed us into neurointensive care: how do we bring these research methods into the realities of the bedside?

Product roadmap

From research
to bedside use.

Our next milestone is an integrated prototype. Clinical input and funding will help us get there; technical evaluation and bedside feedback will guide what follows.

The development path

  • Completed
  • In progress
  • Ahead

  1. Initial EEG acquisition, processing and classification work.

  2. Define the needs and workflow with clinicians.

  3. Secure the resources for the next development stage.

    Supported byMikrolegat

  4. Bring the hardware and session workflow together.

  5. Assess signal quality, repeatability and task performance.

  6. Evaluate setup and usability with clinical teams.

  7. Investigate the intended use in an appropriately approved study.

Next milestone

An integrated prototype, ready for technical evaluation.

Later stages depend on funding, technical results and the appropriate study approvals. Milestones describe the development plan, not validated clinical capabilities.
