When Indian technology comes to mind, people frequently link it to outsourcing services, talented programmers, and affordable generic medications. Yet, in 2026, a neurostimulation patch named DUSQ, crafted by a team based in Bangalore, swiftly gained popularity in the US crowdfunding arena. This lightweight device, tipping the scales at just 12 grams, is affixed behind the ear. It keeps a close watch on the nervous system while the user sleeps, ensuring deep sleep is maintained through gentle electrical stimulation. In a mere 30 days, an impressive 4,326 backers rallied together to crowdfund a staggering $1.23 million, marking a new milestone for an Indian health tech company on Kickstarter. DUSQ is designed to tackle the problem of nocturnal 'surges' in the sympathetic nervous system. It employs an AI model to pinpoint these surges and intervene, thereby aiding users in prolonging their deep sleep periods.
