Brain computer interface (BCI) is a novel communication method enabling brain signals to control or influence external devices or neural rehabilitation systems. BCI has become a useful tool, over the decade, to aid patients with basic movements and communication in cases of severe motor loss. BCI works as an alternative treatment for the cognitive and motor rehabilitation.
Various research findings have shown the therapeutic efficacy of BCI in patients with different level of motor impairment like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), neuropathic pain, spastic cerebral palsy, etc., as well. It effectively works in improving behaviour in patients with cognitive conditions like ADHD.
Braincomputer interface technology has witnessed significant growth over the last few decades driven by advancement in the field of machine learning, neuroscience and signal processing. Increasing awareness of BCI’s potential in treatment of healthcare conditions, expanding research and development initiatives and technological breakthroughs brought in by several leading players have contributed significantly to the market’s growth.
In the field of brain-machine hybrid intelligence and human-computer interaction, BCI is a cutting-edge technology integrated with advanced theories from multiple disciplines. BCI has the potential to promote social and economic development. It also holds promising future applications including treating conditions like depression, and epilepsy; as well as decoding languages, and movement for patients with high paraplegia among others.
Development of neural engineering and rehabilitation engineering, artificial intelligence, psychology and cognitive neuroscience, and biomedical engineering has accelerated the engineering and industrialization of BCI. The market for brain computer interface is fueled by several factors such as:
Increased collaborations between healthcare institutions, academia and leading industry players are also accelerating the translation of BCI research into real-world clinical applications. All these factors contribute to the growing demand for BCI in healthcare sector.
Various studies pertaining to BCI field has been in focus over the years and are still continuing to demonstrate the impact of BCI in improving the quality of life for physically challenged people. For example,
Several government initiatives are also catalyzing growth, fostering innovation and expanding accessibility of brain computer interface technology. Government around the world is supporting BCI-led research and development initiatives by allocating significant fundings. For example,
Growing Incidence of Neurological Diseases
The market for brain computer interface is influenced by several factors such as growing incidence of neurological disorders and clinical applications of BCI in the treatment of motor and cognitive diseases including spinal cord injury, ALS, stroke, and ADHD.
BCI-enabled diagnosis and monitoring of neurological disease offers several therapeutic applications. Advanced signal processing algorithms help clinicians make accurate diagnosis and track disease progression by identifying patterns associated with specific neurological conditions.
BCI systems are used in neurofeedback training to provide real-time feedback on brain activity, helping patient self-regulate neural patterns associated with conditions like seizures or tremors. Increasing prevalence of neurological disorders is likely to increase the adoption of BCIs in medical applications, thereby driving the global market.
Growing Research and Development Investments Fuel New Product Development
There is a growing emphasis on translating the research findings of BCI into clinical practices to develop evidence-based interventions for neurological disorders. Industry players, academia and healthcare institutes are collaborating to increase research and development activities. Consequentlyfuelling innovation, improving efficacy of BCI technology and expanding the scope of commercial applications.
High Cost Associated with BCI Systems
Commercially available BCI devices are costly due to the construction material used and their complexity. This makes them suitable only for the industrial or laboratory settings, which consequently impeds the market growth.Further, implantable BCI systems require materials to sustainably operate over longer periods of time without deteriorating.
Brain’s aqueous nature affects the power-retention capability of the implants. This in turn, reduces the lifetime of BCI’s battery, limiting the amount of signals collected by electrodes and adding to the overall cost of the device. The development of cost-effective and portable BCI systems might help make BCI technology more accessible to the potential users of the technology.
Lack of Standardization for Regulatory Approval
Brain computer interface-based systems are registered as a medical device, thereby, falls under the jurisdiction of regulatory agencies like U.S.FDA. However, these systems are a new system of categories that require integration of multiple sub-components to measure and analyse neural activity and provide feedback through different means.
There is a lack of specific standards for neurotechnologies for BCI. This might hinder the interoperability and regulatory compliance of new device, in turn, creating barriers for the industrial applications of BCI to access a wide market.
Increasing Clinical Trials of BCI Solutions
BCI is an emerging and relatively new technology offering several promising opportunities for the market players. Several companies and universities are actively involved in conducting clinical trials of BCI products. For example,
Low-cost and Tailored BCI Solutions in Emerging Market
The burgeoning economies of emerging markets present lucrative opportunities for the market players within the brain computer interface sector. This is fuelled by significant rise in the demand for advanced healthcare solutions and growing research and development in the field of cerebral and spinal disorders.
The regulatory landscape in the developing economies is perceived less stringent, more adaptable, and conducive to the business. Furthermore, emerging markets present lucrative opportunities in terms of developing low-cost and scalable BCI solutions tailored to specific needs and preferences of users in the emerging market. Consequently, leading players are increasingly focusing on the operating in these regions to expand their presence and capitalize on the opportunities.
