# Helmet May Reverse Dementia Scientific Research on Memory By Going Like Sixty | Published 2008-02-05 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alzheimers-dementia-helmet-reversed References: [dailymail](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/health/healthmain.html?in_article_id=510172&in_page_id=1774) [Alzheimer's disease](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alzheimers-intelligence) is an insidious disease that kills hundreds of thousands and causes untold pain for the family. This helmet can help reverse the symptoms with as little as ten minutes per day. Infra-red light causes the brain to create more cells. "The study at Sunderland found that exposing middle-aged mice to infrared light for six minutes a day for ten days improved their performance in a three-dimensional maze," the Daily Mail reported. "In the human trials, due to start this summer, the scientists will use levels of infra-red that occur naturally in sunlight." Luckily, the people that wear [this helmet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lily-device), won't remember the next day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Infra-red Light Therapy:** Using infra-red light therapy to reverse symptoms of dementia presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for healthcare providers. - **Neurodegenerative Disease Treatment:** Developing innovative treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's presents a disruptive opportunity for pharmaceutical companies. - **Non-invasive Brain Stimulation:** Exploring non-invasive brain stimulation techniques for cognitive enhancement opens up disruptive possibilities for neuroscientists and researchers. ### Where This Applies - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can explore the implementation of infra-red light therapy in their treatment options for patients with neurodegenerative diseases. - **Pharmaceutical:** Pharmaceutical companies have the potential to develop and commercialize innovative drugs that target neurodegenerative diseases based on the findings of this research. - **Biotechnology:** Biotechnology companies can leverage non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to develop novel therapies for cognitive enhancement and brain health. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Therapeutic Head Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cognito-therapeutics.md) - [Sleep-Inspiring Infrared Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepya.md) - [Brain-Protecting Wearable Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brainprotecting-wearable-device.md) - [Brain Protection Awareness Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-protection-helmet.md) - [Non-Invasive Alzheimer's Therapies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noninvasive-device-therapy.md) - [Brain-Balancing Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neuro-wellness-enhancer.md) - [Headphone Hair Growth Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hair-regrowth-device.md) - [Anti-Hair Loss Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athena-helmet.md) - [Brain Training Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-training-solution.md)
