The future of Digital Brain Health will include many new technologies, many that exist today and many more that are in the R&D phase. It appears by the daily announcements of new Crowd Source Funding proposals in the BCI Field; the predictions of a $20 Billion market by 2020 might be conservative. If Big Pharma and Big Health Care join in the R&D and consumer adoption of Digital Health Technologies then the market may actually be many times larger than estimates by 2020.

With the development of mobile computing based software and Body Area Networking Devices, the future of Self-Managed Care has arrived. Investments like the DoD (Department of Defense) with The National Center for Telehealth & Technology (T2) have made mHealth (mobile Health) for treating PTDS and ADHD in Soldiers and their families, are the forefront of a new wave of Social Health. BioZen is the first of many applications for Digital Brain Health and the new Health Economy, were self-managed health is the reality. Wireless sensors that measure EEG, ECG, EMG and GSR and communicate with smartphones and tablets providing real-time data and analysis will revolutionize the traditional Patient/Doctor relationship.

“BioZen is one of the first mobile applications to provide users with live biofeedback data from multiple wearable lg-icon-biozen2body sensors covering a range of biophysiological signals, including electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyography (EMG), galvanic skin response (GSR), electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), respiratory rate, and temperature biofeedback data and display it on a mobile phone.”
