A South Carolina-based technology startup plans to launch a new meditation headset for mental health in 2023.
The company, Bodhi NeuroTech, announced its next-generation wireless Zendo meditation headband and companion app in November. According to the company’s news release, the wearable device aims to make meditation easier through “gentle neurostimulation to the areas of the brain associated with expert meditation practice.”
“Meditation is hard — it takes time, dedication, and practice,” said Bashar Badran, PhD, neuroscientist, and co-founder of Zendo.
He adds that the headset “reduces that meditation learning curve,” while helping people “rapidly experience a deep sense of calm with little effort.”
The companion app includes meditation training and content to support users. Anyone interested in signing up for the device on the Zendo website will be added to a waitlist.
