Core offering

NaoX Technologies develops miniaturized electroencephalography (EEG) sensors embedded in earbuds for brain activity monitoring. Its product portfolio includes NAOX LINK, an FDA 510(k)-cleared medical-grade in-ear EEG device for clinical neurology, epilepsy, sleep medicine, and research, and NAOX WAVE, a plug-and-play EEG platform and SDK designed for integration into true wireless earbuds by consumer electronics manufacturers.

Product overview

NaoX Technologies offers a two-product portfolio: NAOX LINK is a medical-grade, FDA-authorized in-ear EEG device for clinical use in neurology, epilepsy, sleep medicine, and research. NAOX WAVE is a platform/SDK designed for consumer electronics brands and earbud manufacturers to integrate brain health monitoring (EEG) into true wireless earbuds. The two products share medical-grade EEG signal quality and together target both clinical healthcare and consumer wearable markets.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Emotiv: Emotiv makes consumer- and research-grade EEG headsets (EPOC, Insight) that capture brain activity for wellness, research, and BCI applications. It is directly comparable to NaoX in pursuing EEG outside the clinic, though Emotiv uses scalp-based headsets rather than NaoX's in-ear form factor.
• InteraXon (Muse): Muse sells consumer EEG headbands marketed for meditation, focus, and sleep. It overlaps with NaoX on consumer-facing EEG biometrics and brain-health biomarkers (concentration, relaxation), making it a like-for-like competitor in the consumer brain-wellness category.
• NeuroSky: NeuroSky supplies low-cost EEG biosensors and chipsets used in consumer wearables, toys, and health devices. It is comparable to NaoX as an enabling EEG technology provider pursuing OEM/embedded distribution into third-party hardware.

Emerging players

• Cognionics: Cognionics designs high-density dry-electrode EEG systems for clinical and research use. Comparable to NAOX LINK on the clinical/research EEG side, though Cognionics focuses on scalp-based headset systems rather than in-ear sensing.
• Kernel: Kernel develops non-invasive brain-measurement hardware (e.g., Kernel Flow, Kernel Cortex) for cognitive performance and clinical research. It is comparable to NaoX as a next-generation neurotech company commercializing brain-activity monitoring outside hospital EEG suites.

Broad incumbents

• Brain Products: Brain Products is an established German manufacturer of research- and clinical-grade EEG systems and amplifiers. It is a broad incumbent that competes with NAOX LINK for neurology and clinical-research EEG budgets, but specializes in lab-grade multi-channel systems rather than in-ear wearables.
• ANT Neuro: ANT Neuro provides clinical and research EEG/MEG systems and software widely used in academic neurology. It is comparable to NAOX LINK as a clinical/research EEG supplier, but its portfolio is centered on conventional scalp-EEG rather than in-ear form factors.
• Compumedics: Compumedics manufactures clinical EEG, sleep-monitoring, and neurology diagnostic systems sold to hospitals and sleep labs. It overlaps directly with NaoX's neurology, epilepsy, and sleep-medicine use cases, though as a broad incumbent across multiple diagnostic modalities.

Others

• iMotions: iMotions provides a biosensor research platform that aggregates EEG, eye-tracking, GSR, and other modalities for academic and market-research users. It is comparable to NaoX as an EEG-enabled analytics layer, but operates as an enabling software platform rather than a hardware OEM.
