melomind

Melomind is the first brain-training Electroencephalographic (EEG) solution designed to increase stress resilience and improve relaxation. Based on the neurofeedback method, Melomind acts on the users’ brain plasticity to reshape their neuronal pathways in order to strengthen their cognitive processes linked to relaxation.

Stress is one of society’s main issues in terms of human health and well-being. Individuals are looking for new ways to fight this plague and improve their quality of life, but are unsuccessful. Despite current solutions such as meditation, exercise, or else, 75% of Americans are still actively looking for an effective solution to manage their stress.

Melomind’s goal is to take on the issue of stress at its source, the brain. By using the scientifically validated neurofeedback method, Melomind allows users to gain access to their own relaxation process and train it to build defences against stress.

The neurofeedback mechanism has been used in the medical and research sectors for 50 years, especially for ADHD treatment (FDA approved). Scientific literature confirms that neurofeedback has proved efficient in stress management and has shown a correlation between the method and long-term benefits on reducing stress.

With the Brain and Spine Institute, we validated Melomind’s signal quality and led an evaluation study on its benefits at the Pitié Salpétrière Hostpital in Paris.

Finally, we already tested our solution on more than 3000 people and created a scientifically validated audiofeedback protocol.

We are aiming at maximizing people well-being with a proactive wellness program that preserve and improve customer’s health. 

One of Melomind’s goal is to provide people with a tool that increases their mental resilience to stress and their daily happiness.

Furthermore, we believe that stress issues need to be solved on a global scale and humanity needs new solutions in terms of mental health that are easy to use, innovative and enjoyable.

Melomind grants people access to the last neuroscience discoveries (through the latest technology breakthroughs) and allow them to better understand their cerebral processes and control them.

Some actors develop technological or relaxing solutions, but none of them focus on the wellness market and combine the long-term effect, progress tracking, personalized training, prevention and proactivity allowing the user to be in control of their own relaxation, sleep and overall well-being.

 Today we believe that we are the only ones who master the technological and scientific aspects of neurofeedback with differentiating factors such as:

• Integrated platform open to third party devices and applications
• Quality control throughout the cycle of innovation from research to industrialization
• Innovative business model with access to multiple revenue streams (HaaS, SaaS and PaaS).

The user experience has been improved considerably proposing a virtual coach that will guide the user, journey after journey, to train their brain at home or at work.

We have been devoted for 2 years to design Melomind as a companion that coaches the user’s relaxation skills efficiently, follows their progress and provides a personalized brain-training program. Furthermore, Melomind is a non-invasive solution and has a human-centered design that fit with a daily usage.

We collaborated with our kickstarter community to improve Melomind, for instance we decided to offer the possibility to use melomind as a regular audio headset. 

Our goal is to turn Melomind into a daily habit. To do so, we have decided to focus on a BtoBtoC strategy and use sectors such as Luxury Hotels/Spas, and Corporate wellness as prescribers

 For Luxury Spas, we plan on creating a special room dedicated to neurofeedback treatments. As for Hotel rooms and Companies, we want to provide people with a unique way to train and improve their mental well-being, ensuring comfort and restful sleep.

These partners will become business providers’ deals who will allow us to quickly reach mass market and scale our solution.

Private investors finance Melomind’s launch. Thanks to our participation to many innovation contests, we also benefit from governmental institutions (Bpi, Business France) subventions to support our R&D activity.

Furthermore, we sold 1000 Melomind on Kickstarter and we already signed our first POCs with actors of Hotel and Spa sectors.

Business model: Monthly subscription including one headset, one mobile application, an access to our Big Data platform, and after-sales services. The subscription also includes a business license and the staff training on neuroscience.

As for the general public version of the Melomind (1headset + 1app), we offer special prices to retailers. 

One of the limiting factors is mistrust in EEG monitoring. It is one of the challenges we will have to face when Melomind hit the market next November. In order to face it we ensured a completely ethic and anonymous data storage system that prevents crossing of personal and neuronal data.

Melomind is a revolutionary way to relax; it aims to change our daily habits of mental wellness. At myBrain Technologies, we work for a change and that change needs an effort to have an open-mind from the user, but it definitely worth it.

Participating in the Solve challenge is the occasion for myBrain Technologies to gain visibility and acknowledgement from the US market and meet potential partners across the brain training industry.

Be part of the change-makers that lead future innovations in terms of neurotechnologies is valuable for us. We believe that with the support of Solve’s community we can accomplish even more and scale our solution across the word, especially in US. We are also really enthusiastic about becoming a part of Solve’s global community and participating to the incredible MIT event.
