Awesome clarification! Thank you.
We're not the researchers, we are developing the technology to support research. They are somewhat hamstrung with the currently available technology. There are other benefits to slow-wave enhancement, non-clinical and beyond dementia. It has been suspected this could play a role in prevention of AD, we were very suspicious (and still are a bit) that we could have a direct impact in treating AD.
Having said that, the paper that looked at people with AD saw improvement in sleep, so even if we can help them subjectively feel less exhausted, that could be a quality of life benefit, even if non-clinical.
I completely agree, that proving effectiveness in treatment is a long road, but we're going through a non-clinical use first. If the research works out, we can look into clinical use at a later date.
