BeCareLink

https://becarelink.com/

BeCareLink is a platform for quantifying progression in chronic neurologic disorders employing a gamified mobile app for AI-enabled neurologic assessment. Delayed detection of subtle changes in neurologic function can negatively affect patient outcomes. The BeCareLink platform delivers a remote quantitative assessment of neurologic function with Al analysis. This analysis incorporates data from a gamified mobile app and other digital biomarkers, such as a novel pulmonary device, providing HCPs and investigators a more sensitive, comprehensive neurological assessment earlier, faster, more reliably and conveniently than a standard clinical assessment. The solution has demonstrated convergent validity with traditional neurological exams in studies at Yale and Weill-Cornell. The BeCareLink app is already deployed to the general public with over 2500 MS users and is also being used in a Biogen post-marketing trial in MS. Expansion of the platform into early diagnosis and monitoring of Alzheimer’s Disease, ALS, and Myasthenia Gravis is underway.

Vistim Labs Inc

https://vistimlabs.com/

Vistim‘s high resolution cognition monitoring helps pharmaceutical companies develop treatments for neurological disorders. The lack of sensitive, objective methods to measure cognitive function in patients with neurological disorders makes clinical trials and drug development lengthy, costly, often yielding low-quality data. Vistim Labs solves this problem with CASBA: a high resolution cognition monitoring product which is used to identify and include early-disease participants, and to meaningfully power clinical trials. The CASBA artificial intelligence biomarker system uses stimulated brain activity to directly and objectively measure real-time previously-imperceivable cognitive changes, and the system is ready for use in research and validation studies.
