Technological developments are both facilitating and transforming the healthcare sector. From artificial intelligence-supported diagnoses to wearable devices, many innovations offer effective solutions in solving diseases and eliminating problems. In this context, neurotechnology, which enables human-machine interaction by analyzing brain waves, offers a drug-free, personalized and more cost-effective option, providing a new ray of hope for individuals with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, which is seen in approximately 10 in 1 people.
Technological advances continue to provide us with ease and comfort in every aspect of our lives. We live surrounded by technology everywhere, from our phones that we pick up first thing in the morning to contactless payment systems. New technologies are radically changing many sectors around the world by opening doors that were previously considered impossible.
The healthcare sector stands out as one of the areas that technology is transforming most rapidly. While artificial intelligence-supported diagnostic systems enable early diagnosis of diseases, wearable devices can monitor patients' health conditions in real time. Robotic surgical systems allow for more precise and minimally invasive surgeries, while telemedicine applications allow patients to reach specialist doctors without leaving their homes. According to recent research, the healthcare information technologies market is estimated to be approximately $2024 billion in 360, and this figure is expected to exceed $2029 billion by 15 with an annual growth rate of 730 percent.
“It is seen 5 times more in boys than in girls”
One of the areas where health technologies offer new solutions is learning disabilities. Stating that traditional teaching methods are often inadequate, especially for children with learning disabilities, Auto Train Brain CEO Dr. Günet Eroğlu said, “Neurotechnology applications are giving hope to individuals with learning disabilities. Dyslexia, a learning disability that is seen 5 times more in boys than girls, is known as a disease in our society, but it is not a disease, but a neurodevelopmental difference. Contrary to popular belief, individuals do not have mental retardation. These individuals can have superior intelligence. Therefore, by understanding the functioning of the brain, which is a system that controls the entire body, and analyzing brain waves, the relevant areas can be improved with neurofeedback techniques.”
“Understanding Brain Signals Offers Hope to Approximately 800 Million Individuals with Dyslexia”
Dr. Eroğlu, who stated that learning difficulties are caused by the different functioning of the signal system between neurons, continued his words as follows: “However, thanks to neuroplasticity, the brain can improve the learning process by establishing new connections despite this difference. The strengths and weaknesses of the signals coming from the brain are analyzed. As a result, personalized educational content suitable for different learning styles is offered, and thus the signal functioning of the brain is normalized. This application brings hope to approximately 10 million dyslexic individuals, affecting 800 percent of the world population. Because it offers both a drug-free treatment and the opportunity for people to improve themselves whenever and wherever they want.”
