Advanced fNIRS · EEG Integration · AI-Supported Analysis · Real-World Neuroimaging
INTRODUCING
HiveOne.
Wearable Brain Imaging,
Redefined.
Our first product is designed for neuroscience research teams who demand research-grade neural data without laboratory constraints. Hive One integrates advanced fNIRS in a lightweight, user-friendly headset — delivering the signal quality of fixed laboratory systems with the freedom of a wearable device.
Built on silicon photomultiplier sensor technology developed at ETH Zurich, Hive One opens new dimensions of measurement in the real world.
Portable by Design
Designed for simplicity and intuitive operation.
High Precision
Silicon photomultiplier sensors deliver signal fidelity.
Advanced Analysis
Integrated software analysis turns complex neural signs into clear reserach insights.
UNDER THE HOOD
The Science of Seeing
What Others Cannot.
Hive One uses advanced fNIRS brain imaging in a wearable, easy-to-use system – delivering high-resolution insights into brain function in real-world environments where traditional imaging falls short.
OUR VISION
From the Lab to Life.
From Reactive to Proactive.
Today, medicine reacts to brain disease after it strikes. We believe the future is profoundly different — a future where brain health is monitored continuously, where subtle early signals are detected before symptoms emerge, where treatments are guided by objective neural data, and where every patient receives care as individual as their brain.
„Precision medicine begins with knowing what the brain is actually doing — not once in a hospital, but continuously, in life.“
Replace isolated snapshots with longitudinal monitoring that captures how the brain changes over time.
Enable diagnosis, treatment guidance, and outcome measurement based on real, measurable brain data.
Guide therapeutic decisions individually — because every brain is unique, and treatment should be too.
BUILT ON RIGOUR
Scientific Excellence.
Engineering Precision.
Human Purpose.
optohive was founded by researchers and engineers from ETH Zurich — combining deep neuroscience expertise with advanced optical engineering, a track record of peer-reviewed science, and strong ties to leading clinical research institutions.
Our team emerged from one of the world’s top technical universities, with deep roots in the neuroscience and biomedical engineering departments of ETH Zurich. Scientific rigor is in our DNA.
We work in close partnership with clinical research teams and hospital neurology and psychiatry departments — ensuring our systems are designed around real clinical needs and constraints.
optohive technology is designed to meet the exacting standards of academic neuroscience research — ensuring reproducibility, data validity, and scientific integrity across every measurement.
Scientific Foundation
Our core sensor technology and analysis methods are grounded in peer-reviewed science. We believe transparency and openness are the foundation of trust in medical technology.
