Neuphony believes in the unlimited potential of the human mind and strives toward unlocking it to bring out the best in them. Neurofeedback has been scientifically proven to be a powerful tool to improve the overall health of your brain including improving memory, sleep quality and reducing stress and anxiety. Neuphony brings you the benefits of neurofeedback at the comfort of your home with the help of our headband and a mobile application. The headband measures the electrical activity of your brain and the mobile app based on the sensor data recommends your meditation techniques to achieve your desired state. Over sessions, it trains your brain on how to achieve the desired state itself.

Our mental health encompasses our psychological, emotional and social well-being. This means it impacts how we feel, think and behave each day. Our mental health also contributes to our decision-making process, how we cope with stress and how we relate to others in our lives and in our professional life. While every 1 in 4 people has a mental health problem, all of us have mental health which we can take care of like our physical health.

USP of Neuphony

• Mental health comprises of emotional, social and psychological well being. 70-80% of mental health problems are not noticed. A person who is stressed or is having anxiety cannot understand the reason behind it and hence anxiety attacks are mistaken as random emotional outbursts, or sleeping disorders are mistaken as overthinking.
• The current solution for mental health problems such as emotional outburst, overthinking, anxiety and stress include therapy. Neurofeedback has become very popular in the last few decades in the western countries but until recently they were affordable by the extremely rich (such as Athletes and C Suite executives)
• Firstly while Neuphony Makes Neurofeedback affordable to everyone, it also helps to validate the impact of meditation and music on the brain. It is the only wearable device which covers brain activity from 3 lobes of the brain - Frontal (conscious brain), Occipital (visual processing/imagination), DMN (default mode network for self-reflection) and Temporal (memory and auditory). 

The product is available for pre-booking across EU and India, and the official launch date is in January 2021.

We also plan to bridge the gap between neuroscience field and researchers so we would like to bring different devices for different levels.

Also, we would like to extend the use of Neuphony for medical applications such as paralysis and any neurological disorders in the future.

About the Neuphony

While Neuphony is the product name the name of the company is PankhTech named after Ria’s sister Pankhuri. We are a startup across India and Europe.

The wearable market for the brain has just developed for the last 10 years with dominance in the U.S, and Europe recently catching up in the past 2 years. We are the first Indians to work on this, and also the first device to be developed keeping in mind the Indian market. The manufacturing will be completely done in Delhi, India.

About the Founders and Co-Founders 

Neuphony comes from a very personal inspiration for them and the company is dedicated to  Ria’s sister Pankhuri Rastogi (whom the company is named). 

Pankhuri got a rare brain infection in 2016 and was in Stroke ICU at the age of 25 for 6 months. Those 6 months were very challenging Emotional, physically and mentally for the whole family. During that time the family saw a lot of ups and downs, but during that phase not knowing what was happening inside her brain, why she was not able to talk to the family or move was something Ria couldn't digest and understand. It was very difficult to see her in so much pain and not knowing what she is thinking.

Unfortunately, things didn’t go good and she passed away in November 2016. The whole family went through trauma and had their own way of dealing with it.

Bhavya is an engineer not only by degree but also by passion. He loves working on gadgets and Technology. He wanted to be an entrepreneur since his days at BTech. When Bhavya and Ria were brainstorming ideas they thought of the challenges they faced and after a lot of months of research and efforts by Bhavya, they finalised on developing wearables for the Mental health to start with.

People talk about mental health without understanding that it is a biological concept, and we have the power to control our brain. Neuroplasticity is a concept which means we can change our brain even at the age of 50 using food, meditation and yoga, and this can be validated using Neurofeedback. PankhTech combines these 3 and created Neuphony.

Bhavya and Ria are engaged and have been dating for the past 8 years. Their intellect and understanding have made it possible to bring Neuphony to live.

While Ria Rustagi is the face to the customer and takes care of business and marketing being the heart of the startup, Bhavya Madan is the brain behind the Neuphony taking care of the tech and functionality.
