Cumulus' integrated digital and physiological biomarker platform provides wireless "dry" EEG recording systems and easy-to-use engaging tasks that can be operated repeatedly by users at home.

Key Points: 
  • Cumulus' integrated digital and physiological biomarker platform provides wireless "dry" EEG recording systems and easy-to-use engaging tasks that can be operated repeatedly by users at home.
  • This provides a dramatically lower trial burden for patients and greater opportunity for the collection of real-world, longitudinal data compared to traditional lab-based, "wet" EEG.
  • Usability of the EEG system was evaluated via participant adherence and qualitative feedback using the System Usability Scale.
  • The study found that home-based gamified dry EEG in aggregate has superior precision to single in-lab based sessions, and that only 2 to 4 dry EEG sessions are required to match the quality of wet EEG recordings.
