MEYREUIL, FRANCE — Presto Engineering, a leading European expert in application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design and semiconductor engineering and production services, and T&W Engineering, a prominent in-ear electroencephalogram (EEG) wearable device developer and provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven EEG reading services, announced their collaboration to develop an ASIC for measuring high quality, multi-channel dry-electrode EEG for next-generation wearable brain sensing.
The partnership aims to create an advanced ASIC for measuring high-quality, multi-channel dry-electrode EEG for next-generation wearable brain sensing.
In-Ear EEG Technology
T&W Engineering has dedicated over a decade to researching and developing in-ear EEG technology, producing numerous peer-reviewed scientific articles and patents through collaborations with academic and scientific partners.
As a spin-out from one of the world’s largest hearing aid manufacturers, T&W Engineering focuses on patient-centric brain sensing by integrating dry-electrodes and advanced miniaturized electronics into in-ear headphones.
The potential applications for this technology are extensive, with an initial focus on digital biomarkers for assessing sleep, epilepsy, and neurogenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. By partnering with Presto Engineering, a company renowned for its track record in manufacturing ASICs for hearing aids and wearable devices, T&W Engineering aims to ensure the release of its innovative product with the highest quality and superior patient care.
T&W Engineering’s in-ear EEG technology offers a user-friendly, scalable, and long-term sensing solution in a patient’s natural environment, providing healthcare providers with improved insights into assessing brain health.
Cedric Mayor, CEO of Presto Engineering, expressed the significance of this collaboration, stating, “Our partnership with T&W Engineering perfectly combines our respective strengths. Without leveraging T&W Engineering’s expertise in designing medical products from the ground up, along with Presto’s capabilities in semiconductor design, industrialization, production testing, and supply chain management, it would be challenging to introduce such groundbreaking innovation to the market. Releasing exceptional and innovative ASICs is our primary goal, and we are thankful to T&W Engineering for this opportunity to enhance patients’ lives.”
“We are excited to work with Presto once again, a trusted partner who shares our commitment to advancing medical solutions. Our combined capabilities allow us to address complex challenges and drive innovation in the healthcare industry. Together, we aspire to make a significant impact in the field of EEG technology and improve the lives of individuals affected by neurological disorders.”
–Richard Topholm, CEO of T&W Engineering

About T&W Engineering
T&W Engineering is focused on simplifying brain sensing for everyday use. We strive to enable device and data augmented applications across the health continuum, from healthy living and prevention, to diagnosis, treatment and home care, partnering with top applications specialists and researchers across the world. Formed in 2015 as a spin-out from Widex, we leverage 65 years of experience in medical ear-worn technologies, and pioneer the use of long-term EEG, deep clinical insights, and advanced machine learning to deliver on the promise of ubiquitous brain sensing. Since 2006 we have researched and developed the technology for Ear-EEG as well as many of its applications; and are the leading developer of this novel technology. Ear-EEG is a novel way to measure brain-activity without the traditional cumbersome EEG setups. This allows discreet and easy unassisted brain sensing, enabling a host of new applications, such as sleep-analysis, epilepsy, brain-computer interfaces, stress, depression, and neurological disorders. In short, “Brain sensing made easy!”
