iSyncWave for Remote QEEG Brain Mapping
Bring 19-Channel QEEG to the Patient
iSyncWave turns a traditional EEG workflow into something portable enough to ship. The dry wireless EEG headset, tablet, and accessories fit into a single briefcase, allowing mental health clinics to collect EEG remotely and analyze quantitative brain activity through iSyncBrain without building an EEG lab at every location.
The iSyncWave carrying case securely transports the entire 19-channel system, acting as a clinic in a briefcase.
What Is Remote QEEG Brain Mapping?
Remote qEEG brain mapping allows EEG data to be collected outside the clinic and reviewed quantitatively by a clinician from another location. With iMediSync, iSyncWave captures 19-channel dry EEG and iSyncBrain provides cloud-based quantitative EEG analysis and reporting.
What Does a Remote EEG Appointment Look Like?
Before the appointment
The clinic ships the briefcase to the patient. It contains the iSyncWave headset, tablet, and all required accessories—ready to use out of the box.
During the video visit
The patient puts on iSyncWave while the clinician walks them through fit and electrode contact over a telehealth video call, ensuring correct placement without physical interaction.
Recording
The tablet receives 19-channel EEG wirelessly from the headset. The clinician guides the patient through eyes-open and eyes-closed protocols while monitoring signal quality.
Analysis
The completed recording is uploaded instantly for quantitative analysis in iSyncBrain. Automated denoising and sLORETA processing are performed in the cloud.
Review
The clinician can review brain maps, connectivity information, and the 5 Key Indicators report through the web portal without being physically beside the patient.
A QEEG System That Fits in One Briefcase
Traditional EEG can require a dedicated room, EEG cart, wires, consumables, trained technicians and patient travel. iSyncWave was designed differently.
Everything needed for acquisition travels together:
- iSyncWave 19-channel dry EEG headset
- Tablet
- Charger and accessories
- Protective carrying case
The patient doesn't need an EEG laboratory. The clinic doesn't need another device installed at every site.
Can Patients Take Their Own EEG at Home?
With remote clinician guidance, the iSyncWave workflow can be simple enough for selected patients or caregivers to perform outside the clinic.
The headset uses a fixed 19-channel 10–20 layout rather than requiring the user to measure and manually place 19 separate electrodes. During a video appointment, a clinician can guide the patient through fitting the headset, checking electrode contact and completing the recording.
The headset talks to the tablet through Bluetooth. Internet access is used for the remote visit and cloud-based analysis.
Before recording, an impedance/contact check provides both the clinician and the patient an objective way to confirm that the electrodes are making appropriate contact with the scalp.
Remote EEG Only Works If Setup Is Actually Simple
Traditional wet EEG preparation gets even harder remotely because the patient would need help locating sites, applying conductive material and cleaning up afterward. iSyncWave was built to bypass these hurdles.
The electrodes are integrated directly into the headset. A mechanical rack-and-pinion fitting structure expands and contracts to adapt to different head shapes while maintaining the standardized 10–20 positions for accurate readings.
Remote Doesn't Have to Mean Consumer-Grade EEG
Convenience shouldn't require reducing a brain assessment to one or two locations.
| Feature | Typical Consumer EEG Wearable | iSyncWave Clinical EEG System |
|---|---|---|
| EEG channels | A few (typically 1–4) | 19 |
| Electrode positioning | Approximate, forehead-centric | International 10–20 standard |
| Acquisition resolution | Varies, often undisclosed | 24-bit |
| Sampling rate | Varies | 250 Hz |
| Electrode prep | Dry | Dry |
| Control | Phone app | Tablet |
| Analysis | Consumer wellness scores | Quantitative analysis through iSyncBrain |
| Intended use | General wellness | Clinical EEG acquisition (FDA-cleared full-montage electroencephalograph) |
One System for Remote Assessment and Follow-Up
Remote EEG is more valuable when it becomes longitudinal. Establish a baseline EEG, apply an intervention, repeat the EEG remotely, and compare objective physiological changes over time.
This is particularly useful for multi-location psychiatry, telepsychiatry, TMS practices, neurofeedback programs and research networks that want physiological measurements without requiring every patient to travel to one central EEG site.
Research note: Independent research supports that self-applied dry EEG can produce usable repeated measurements in home settings, although those studies used other devices rather than iSyncWave.
From Remote Brain Mapping to Remote Neuromodulation
Remote Neurofeedback
Once EEG has been collected and reviewed, clinics can potentially extend the same remote-care model into clinician-managed neurofeedback workflows. Published research demonstrates home-based EEG neurofeedback programs, including remotely delivered ones, are operationally feasible.
Remote PBM
The integrated LEDs in iSyncWave mean the same headset can also deliver configurable near-infrared PBM protocols rather than requiring a second piece of hardware.
The PBM function is not FDA cleared.
Your EEG Capability Doesn't Have to Stay in One Building
Send the EEG system where the patient is.
A system can travel between locations instead of every remote location needing a conventional EEG room.
