The Alzheimer's helmet is a system that transmits infrared light, which researchers believe can stimulate brain cell growth.1
There is hope that the Alzheimer's helmet will be a form of treatment for Alzheimer's disease, which to this day has no cure.
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that is the most common cause of dementia. The disease acts by killing brain cells, which results in cognitive impairment and memory loss. However, while there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease at this time, if the Alzheimer's helmet actually stimulates brain cell growth, a treatment may be in the near future.
