Nanochap Neurostimulation Chip Stim Engines Series ENS001 on CES Sleep Aid

Release time：2024-05-14

In this fast-paced modern society, more and more people suffer from insomnia due to stress and anxiety, from sleep candy, sleep aromatherapy, sleep incense to sleep aids, sleep instruments, sleep mattresses, sleep pillows ...... sleep aids are endless.

In the smart sleep instrument products appear in the most is CES sleep aid, then CES sleep aid in the end there is no use, the principle behind it and what is it like?

Some of the CES sleep devices on the market are held in the hand while sleeping, some are worn on the head, and some are clipped to the earlobe. Regardless of how they are used, the inner workings of the device are pretty much the same.

The CES sleep aid works on the principle of transcranial microcurrent stimulation, a method of improving sleep by stimulating the brain with electrical current, or in layman's terms, a chip with electrical current stimulation plays a crucial role.

The ENS001 chip is a highly programmable stimulation chip that integrates an ARM Cortex-M0 MCU, integrated battery charging circuitry, a power switch, a high voltage boost converter, and multiple high-compliance stimulation drivers, and was independently developed by Nanochap Electronic Technology Co.

The CES Sleep Aid with ENS001 chip generates multiple stimulation waveforms:

Stimulates the central nervous system of the brain through microcurrent;
Promote the brain to secrete a series of neurotransmitters and hormones that are closely related to the disorders of anxiety, depression and insomnia;
Effective treatment for anxiety, depression and insomnia;

This highly programmable nature of Nanochap ENS001 chip allows Nanochap ENS001 chip to accurately adjust the stimulation parameters according to the patient's specific condition and therapeutic needs, to achieve a personalized treatment plan.

Different from the traditional CES sleep aid, the sleep aid with ENS001 chip adopts the dynamic charge replication technology to realize the charge balance and greatly control the electric current left in the body, so as to achieve the goal of safety first. The chip comes with over-temperature, over-voltage, over-current detection and safety guarantee system, with high reliability and stability, suitable for long-term operation and application scenarios requiring high reliability.
