Amid increasingly complex work demands—such as piling deadlines, packed meeting schedules, and constant smartphone notifications—many individuals in their 30s–40s are beginning to experience cognitive complaints. These include forgetting which app they intended to open, difficulty maintaining focus when reading long texts, and feeling that their thinking is slower or more “sluggish” than before. These conditions are often dismissed as mere consequences of work fatigue. However, in some cases, these symptoms can be early signs of cognitive decline and an increased risk of dementia that may begin developing during the productive years, with the potential to worsen with age if not properly recognized and addressed.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that approximately 55–57 million people worldwide are living with dementia, with nearly 10 million new cases each year. This data underscores that dementia is a serious and progressive global health challenge. Therefore, early prevention and intervention efforts are crucial steps in maintaining memory, focus, and clarity of thinking in the long term.

Along with advancements in medical technology, non-invasive approaches are now playing an increasingly important role in brain health strategies. One of these is Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS), a modern brain stimulation method designed to support cognitive function and neuronal connectivity as part of a sustainable brain health approach.

A Non-Invasive Solution to Support Brain Health

Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy that uses low-energy, focused mechanical waves to stimulate specific areas of the brain. This technology is designed to help:

• Support the brain’s neuroplasticity processes
• Increase blood flow to brain tissue
• Support nerve cell functions involved in memory, concentration, and cognitive abilities

Unlike invasive medical procedures, TPS is performed without surgery and is generally well tolerated. This approach makes TPS relevant not only for individuals with cognitive decline, but also as part of a long-term brain health strategy for those who wish to maintain optimal brain performance.

Maintaining Brain Connectivity for Better Cognitive Function

According to dr. Febby Astari, IFMCP, a functional medicine practitioner at Seraphim Medical Center, Paramount Gading Serpong, who is a certified IFMCP from The Institute for Functional Medicine (Washington, USA), cognitive decline is not only associated with nerve cell damage, but also with disrupted communication between neurons.

“In conditions such as dementia or cognitive decline, it is not only the nerve cells that are affected, but also the communication between neurons. Transcranial Pulse Stimulation works by stimulating specific areas of the brain to help improve this connectivity, so that cognitive function can be maintained for a longer time,” explained dr. Febby.

She added that TPS services are not intended solely for patients with cognitive disorders, but can also be used as a preventive measure against memory decline and dementia.

“Modern medical approaches today no longer wait until someone becomes seriously ill. TPS can be part of a brain health program for individuals of productive age through older adults who want to maintain memory, focus, and clarity of thinking,” she added.

TPS Services at Seraphim Medical Center

Recognizing the great potential of this therapy, Seraphim Medical Center offers Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) as part of its integrative medical approach. Currently, TPS is still a medical technology with very limited availability in Indonesia. Seraphim Medical Center is the first private medical center in Indonesia to provide this service.

Seraphim Medical Center offers comprehensive services for dementia management, including:

• TPS services
• Nutritional optimization
• Healthy lifestyle regulation
• Stress management
• Metabolic health evaluation
• Personalized functional medicine approach

This integrated approach allows each patient to receive a program tailored to their individual needs and conditions, with the goal of maintaining sustainable brain function.

“The most important thing is to view brain health holistically. A healthy brain requires proper stimulation, good nutrition, quality sleep, and stress management. TPS is here as one of the health services to support that process,” said dr. Febby.
