Neurode introduced a novel approach to managing ADHD with its new headset.

Neurode offers a drug-free method for improving focus, impulse control, and memory by using neurofeedback to help users better understand and manage their ADHD symptoms. The device tracks brain activity changes over time, allowing users to visualize how their brain is functioning and monitor their progress. This "MRI in your pocket" concept could change how we think about treating ADHD, offering a personalized and non-invasive alternative to medication.

Neurode is available for pre-order, with more details to come on pricing. This could be a potential shift towards self-guided cognitive management.

Kabata launched the world’s first AI-powered dumbbells.

Traditional weights have remained largely unchanged for decades, but Kabata integrates AI and machine learning to create an adaptive, real-time workout experience. The smart dumbbells automatically adjust weight based on user performance, monitor rep speed, and provide form correction feedback to ensure safe and effective training. This makes strength training more accessible, especially for those who may not have the guidance of a personal trainer.

These smart dumbbells are designed to help users, from beginners to advanced athletes, optimize their workouts. Kabata is currently available for pre-order through Kabata’s crowdfunding campaign for $599.
