Guide: Getting Started with HBImed Technology

This guide supports professionals in transitioning from purely subjective assessments to objective, data-driven brain diagnostics using neurophysiological biomarkers.

Step 1 Umfassende Schulung und Betreuung

Building professional expertise is your most important investment. Even if the analysis is delegated, the practitioner must be able to explain the results to the patient in a well-founded manner.

The first step is therefore to participate in a course. Courses are offered by, among others, HBImed, the Swiss Brain- and Trauma Foundation, and Sadar Psychological Services. You can find a current overview here.

Mentoring Experienced colleagues such as Andreas Müller (co-founder of HBImed and biomarker expert), various analysts, or Angelika/Mitch Sadar are available for supervision.

Please Contact us, so that we can connect you with the specialists.

Step 2. Instrumentation: Hardware and Software

Certified hardware is essential for reliable biomarker analysis.

Many EEG systems can be used for resting-state EEG analysis. Contact us for an evaluation.

If event-related potentials are to be used (which we recommend), only devices from Mitsar or BEE Medic are suitable. The BEE Medic device was developed to support database construction and biomarker research and features reference timing and data precision.www.beemedic.com).

Step 3. Analysis Chain

The entire toolchain is designed for simplicity and high efficiency. Once the data is captured, you have three main options for evaluation depending on the time commitment and expertise:

HBImed Reporting Service

The most convenient option. You simply send the raw data to HBImed and order a comprehensive report.

While this saves you analysis time and doesn't require in-depth technical knowledge, we still recommend that you educate yourself sufficiently so that you can explain the reports.

This option also includes the possibility of submitting completed questionnaires so that the results can be included in the final report.

Option 2: Manual Analysis (HBIdb Product)

Designed for professionals who want full control over every step and detail to match it with the world's leading norm database. This requires in-depth professional knowledge (courses are offered by experts such as Yuri Kropotov and Olga Kara).

Setup: The „HBIdb Basic Kit“ comes in a physical box with a manual, a USB license dongle, and a USB stick containing the software.

Access & Costs: The kit includes the base license (which does not expire and requires no ongoing payments) as well as 100 database accesses. Each database comparison consumes one access (a typical patient analysis requires one to three accesses). The dongle can be recharged online (100, 500, or 1000 accesses).

Certification: The HBIdb software has CE and FDA approval, which is unique in this field.
Compatibility: You can also use WinEEG, the software developed under the direction of Juri Kropotov, as we are fully compatible with it.

Option 3: Brain Function Analyzer (Cloud / Report Generator)

This is the recommended option. In terms of time investment, it represents a „middle ground“ between manual analysis and the full reporting service.

This extremely comprehensive cloud package, available online via remote server access, represents the future of brain function analysis. This option also allows for the input and analysis of questionnaires. (The clinical workflow typically begins with special questionnaires (currently available in English, German, French, and Japanese). These are filled out directly in Excel and automatically evaluated by the software.)
Automation: All steps that can be automated will be handled by the system.
Questionnaire integration: Questionnaires are imported and automatically evaluated according to the manual, with the results seamlessly integrated into the final report.
Customization: You can customize the appearance and scope of the report using your own templates to meet your specific requirements.

Current Biomarkers: The databases stored on the cloud server are constantly updated with the latest biomarker research findings from Andreas Müller, making them more modern and comprehensive than the local HBIdb.
AI Copilot: A newly integrated, advanced AI tool trained on thousands of manual reports. It further simplifies the creation of high-quality reports and requires less detailed technical knowledge from the user.

This option allows you to fully customize the appearance of the report, as well as its content and length. The report is based on a Word template that can be adapted to your needs (color scheme, logo, fonts, general structure, content, length).
