The equipment consists of the transparent display of augmented reality, the system of electrodes for placement on the head of the patient and  the photoplethysmographic sensor which performs monitoring of heart rate. In case of a deviation of frequency rate of warm reductions from normal, the equipment in the automatic mode sends the Sms to relatives of the user or medical personnel.

The brain computer interface allows to register electric activity of a brain using the electrodes which are not requiring use of electroconductive gel. Thus, the communicative channel for users with violation of the movement of eyes forms.  Besides, the interface helps to improve quality of operation of the channel on the basis of a video oculography. 

"ADK-01" weighs about 800 grams and can function without recharge till 6 o'clock depending on the installed rechargeable batteries.

By December 15, 2017 "ADK-01" is registered as the medical device by Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare.  The cost of the headset will be about 300 thousand rubles.
