A sound goes in. A brain response comes out.
KBO listens to the brain at rest, then asks it a question with short tones and records the answer.
- PingA sound pulse plays through the earphones.
- TravelThe signal reaches the brain.
- ConnectThe response moves from the back of the brain to the front.
- CaptureEEG sensors pick up the pattern.
- ReadThe monitor shows real-time status.
Start from the patient's own baseline.
The headband goes on in pre-op. KBO checks signal quality, listens to the awake brain, and plays brief tones through the earphones. Together these are designed to flag cognitive impairment and alert the anesthesiologist to a higher-risk patient, with a suggested medication plan.

Every brain starts surgery from a different place. The KBO headband goes on in pre-op, with sensors at the front and back of the head. The monitor checks signal quality on every channel before it records. First it listens. With the patient awake, it measures how the front of the brain communicates with the back. Then it asks. Brief chirp tones play through the earphones, and the monitor records how the brain responds. Together these check for cognitive impairment and set the patient's own baseline. If the patient may be high risk, the anesthesiologist is warned and gets a recommended medication plan.

A speedometer-style gauge reads from awake on the right to burst suppression on the left, with a color for every zone. When the signal is noisy, the monitor says so instead of guessing. Try the gauge

In the operating room, the same headband stays on. As anesthesia takes effect, the monitor reads how deep the patient is. The depth gauge reads from awake on the right to burst suppression on the left, with general anesthesia in green. If the patient drifts lighter, the needle moves toward orange so the team can respond. If the patient goes too deep, it moves toward navy: a sign of more medication than needed. EEG and chirp responses are both read against the patient's pre-op baseline. When the signal is noisy, the monitor flags low confidence instead of guessing.
Follow the brain back to baseline.
As the drugs wear off, KBO compares recovery with the pre-op baseline. The platform is designed to turn that comparison into a delirium risk assessment.

In recovery, monitoring continues. As the drugs wear off, the monitor tracks the return toward the patient's pre-op baseline. Chirp responses are compared with the ones recorded before surgery. The platform is designed to turn that comparison into a delirium risk assessment, so the care team can see who may need closer attention. One continuous record, from baseline through surgery to recovery.
