Theranica Implements Innovative Migraine Care Solution with Infineon Bluetooth MCU

Problem Statement

Migraine is a complex, incurable neurological disease estimated to affect 12% of the global population. Its diagnosis, treatment and management are challenging because migraine affects different people in different ways.

Conventional migraine treatment methods have generally been based on over-the-counter or prescribed medications. However, for an important percentage of those affected by migraine, these medications are either ineffective or lead to disruptive side effects with a negative quality of life (QoL) impact. Hence, alternative and effective methods or devices for migraine care are needed in the market.

Solution

Theranica, a digital therapeutics company based in Netanya, Israel, and Bridgewater NJ, USA, has developed Nerivio, a groundbreaking remote electrical neuromodulation (REN) wearable for the treatment of migraine.

Nerivio is an innovative neuromodulation wearable that stimulates nerves in the upper arm through REN. The nerves carry messages to the brain to activate a pain-management response to naturally turn off migraine pain without the need of any medications.

Nerivio is the first FDA-cleared, clinically-proven REN wearable for acute and/or preventive treatment of migraine (indicated for ages 8+ in the United States and 12+ in other countries where it is available). Each Nerivio provides 18 full 45-minute treatments, then can be refilled for additional treatments. The disposable design assures that the patient doesn’t need to remember to keep the battery charged or replace the electrodes while being able to treat just about anywhere. The wearable is placed on the user’s upper arm and worn with an armband during treatments. For its operation, Nerivio uses Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) to connect to a smartphone where the Nerivio application must be installed to control the wearable, to set the treatment intensity, to log activities and monitor migraine patterns, and to enable other beneficial features for the user.

Impact

For anyone living with migraine, Nerivio is a valuable treatment option, particularly for the millions of adolescents and children who face limitations in using traditional drug treatments. It has been shown to effectively reduce or prevent migraine attacks and can be used alongside or as an alternative to medication. Nerivio can be worn discreetly while performing normal daily activities. It is safe, effective, and has no systemic side effects.

For the smart health wearables industry, Nerivio is spearheading a new segment of Bluetooth-based therapy devices for idiopathic pain conditions, with great commercial and social potential.

Key Requirements

Nerivio’s design demands optimal hardware components to enable

High resolution, low noise analog to effectively measure electrical signals (e.g. ADC, DAC, opamps)
High precision signal processing to stimulate and trigger body pain inhibition mechanisms
Robust Bluetooth connectivity to enable reliable and secure smartphone-based communication and control
Various interfacing options for user interaction
System reliability and quality matching therapeutic device needs and expectations
Low energy, compact size and cost efficiency

Why Infineon?

Theranica turned to Infineon’s portfolio of Bluetooth LE devices and selected the PSoC 4 BLE MCU for Nerivio and, more recently, the PSoC63 BLE MCU for NerivioInfinity, its next generation migraine treatment solution. They chose PSoC Bluetooth MCUs for the development of their pioneering products because they are capable of delivering

Fully integrated, single chip solutions supporting all hardware features needed
Computing and control capabilities matching the needs of the application
Industry-proven Bluetooth LE connectivity
Programmable, low noise analog front-end circuitry for bio signal sensing
Capacitive touch sensing
Proven track record in wearables for health care applications

“Infineon’s Bluetooth MCUs offered the best analog integration, sound computational power, reliable BLE communication, low power, and compact system real estate. Also, they allowed the flexibility we needed to create safe, state-of-the art wearable devices.” stated Slava Barabash, Theranica’s Vice President of R&D. “Partnering with Infineon proved to be the right choice for Theranica. We received good design documentation, convenient tools and prompt technical support resources that helped to get our designs implemented quickly.”

What's Ahead?

Theranica envisions Nerivio becoming the leading first-line treatment option for people with migraine to treat and manage the disease, substantially improving their quality of life. Drug-free, meticulously designed with young patients in mind, and with a high safety profile, Nerivio’s FDA clearance was recently expanded to children (ages 8+). Also, Theranica is constantly working on expanding insurance coverage of Nerivio so more patients can have access to drug-free treatment. So far, Nerivio has been gaining significant traction in the market and is becoming an increasingly important smart health wearable in the fight against migraine.
