BrainTrip

BrainTrip is the brainchild of lifelong brain enthusiasts with backgrounds in cognitive science, neuroscience, and medicine. We teamed up with electrical engineers, designers, and medical experts to create an affordable, easy to use, and mobile EEG-based (electroencephalogram) method of dementia diagnosis. Coupled with our years-long experience in clinical work, our research expertise in dementia-related diseases allowed us to get close insights into the shortcomings of currently available technology for dementia diagnosis. For that reason, we developed the first scalable biological screening test for dementia.

While most people associate dementia with forgetfulness, the disease covers a much wider diapason of neurodegenerative symptoms, such as fear for safety, paranoia, and extreme emotional wavering. It is a devastating disease that robs people of their personality and memories, affects relationships with their loved ones, and represents a big socioeconomic burden for the society as a whole. Our vision is to change that by offering early diagnosis to individuals at a risk age. This can hopefully buy people up to 2 or more years of healthy life, as they can start taking medication earlier in order to palliate the symptoms, engage in cognitive training, and plan ahead for the future (finances, inheritance, home management, etc).
