That is one of the time-honored ways to make a device that is incapable of doing harm: to make a device which is incapable of doing anything. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a real thing, if you google it, you'll find some pretty cool things. But I am skeptical that this device does anything at all. It wouldn't be the first such medical device to do nothing. The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices had a collection of quackery that was quite impressive.
