The PCUMH company was one of the five finalists in the competition organized within the framework of this Forum, whose objective is to recognize and reward innovative talent in areas related to well-being, health and the inclusion of people. Thus, during the event, held last Friday at the EUIPO in Alicante, the company held an elevator pitch before a jury of experts in entrepreneurship, well-being and Artificial Intelligence.
Specifically, the spin-off of the UMH Science Park has developed an innovative system for the analysis of brain activity: this technology is portable and is based on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRs) to measure and record brain functions. This system is an aid to relate the response to certain stimuli (affective, cognitive, etc.) with the changes in cerebral blood flow that occurs during mental activity.
