What We Do
For decades, doctors and scientists have relied on pencil-and-paper tests to measure brain health. But modern technology enables us to bring these tests into the 21st century and offer people everywhere easy, affordable access to their brain health from wherever they are.
Backed by 20 years of research conducted at the Eagleman Neuroscience Laboratory at Baylor College of Medicine, we empower people everywhere to take control of their cognitive health
Our goal is to help people of all ages understand what's happening in their brain, while improving concussion and dementia care along the way.
With our easy-to-use interactive tests, users can track their brain health on an iPad, iPhone or browser and receive results on the spot, both compared to their individual baseline and to the population average. In less than 10 minutes, we test multiple cognitive domains, and results can be shared (in a HIPAA-compliant manner) among a person's care team — individuals, family members, caregivers, and clinicians.
All too often, people don't realize that they have cognitive impairment until it has progressed to the advanced stages. We get everyone on the same page and facilitate collaboration on brain health so that people can be aware of changes early and track progress over time.
