Projects

We are conducting trials and supporting research across a range of Neurological conditions. From neonates to adults, awake and asleep,

Sleep

Natural environment sleep research

Researchers approached huru to find a solution for long term, home based sleep monitoring. Specifically for a cohort of children with complex needs, including sensory and learning difficulties. Current headband solutions were not suitable. A single channel frontal electrode version of Clic EEG was created to support this project. In this project, data is collected unsupervised, at home, with the device self applied by participants and data streamed to the huru mobile app. Multiple iterations of instructions, electrode designs and applicators were tested before settling on this simple intuitive sleep system. The live connection to the huru mobile app allows researchers to review data and automated reports remotely in the huru researcher portal.

Neonates

Enabling Cerebral Function Monitoring outside the ICU

In the UK, about six in every 1000 newborn babies develop brain injuries each year. To help diagnose and manage these injuries, doctors use a simplified brain activity monitoring system called amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG). This aEEG is conducted using a system called a Cerebral Function Monitor.
Current practise requires neonates to be separated from mothers and admitted to the ICU when undergoing Cerebral Function Monitoring (CFM), many of whom could otherwise have been monitored outside the ICU.
In this project we build evidence that its possible to reliably assess the infant outside the ICU, using Clic EEG devices, enabling monitoring at the mothers bedside during this critical developmental period.

Epilepsy

Long duration ambulatory EEG

A comparative study to assess the sensitivity and specificity of a 4 sensor Clic EEG system against the gold standard of Video EEG.

Prior to this study we conducted an Innovate UK funded co-design project to develop a wearable system suitable for People with Epilepsy (PWE) to self apply and use at home, unsupervised; a worlds first. After this co-design project with a broad cohort of PWEs we are confident that we have a reliable system for self applying devices and collecting good quality EEG data, comfortably, over long periods of time.

In this project we take the next step, assessing the quality of this data against the gold standard, Video EEG within the Epilepsy monitoring unit. Project is live and result will be published in 2026.

Dystonia

Realtime treatment for symptoms of Dystonia

In this project a modified Clic EEG device is collecting data from an in hair location whilst running an algorithm live to control a wrist worn actuator, tuned to alleviate the symptoms of Dystonia. This ambitious 3 year project could offer significant improvement in the quality of life for patients living with Dystonia.
