Sharper Sense is a wearable patch that enhances sensory processing via targeted neural stimulation developed at Columbia University and Cornell Tech. This improves sensory acuity and reduces misperceptions and miscommunication. Multiple applications, first targeting seniors who struggle to understand speech in noisy environments.

Current methods of improving sensory processing have major drawbacks: stimulants are addictive and therapy has delayed benefits. Sharper Sense is the first bioelectronic solution and provides instant sensory enhancement that can be switched on and off at will via noninvasive stimulation.
