Revolutionary Helmet to Assess Your Brain Health

The company's non-invasive device for monitoring brain health has proven highly accurate in detecting various neurological disorders and subtle cognitive changes. What other benefits might this technology offer?

A Focus on Brain Health

Since the launch of the Alzheimer’s Moonshot initiative by StartUp Health, over 30 companies have committed to developing innovative solutions to combat brain diseases. A key discovery within this community is the link between brain health and our eyes. Often referred to as the “windows to the soul” by poets and philosophers, eyes are in fact direct windows to the brain. They are an integral part of brain anatomy, with their movements controlled by complex interactions among various neural circuits.

Technology Serving Health

Global research leveraging the eye-brain connection includes efforts by the tech innovator ViewMind. Building on decades of research, ViewMind has shown that tracking eye movements can precisely and reliably gauge neurological conditions. This method also allows for monitoring subtle cognitive changes following therapeutic interventions in a non-invasive, cost-effective, and adaptable manner.

The Fusion of Science and Entrepreneurship

Mark Edwards, CEO and co-founder of ViewMind, is a standout figure in technology, having led seven companies in data, AI, and software. He joined ViewMind in 2019, drawn by both the commercial potential and scientific significance of the company founded by Gerardo Fernandez, PhD. With 23 years of research and 24 patents, Fernandez pioneered the core technology at ViewMind.

Fernandez’s extensive work exploring the relationship between eye movements and cognition forms a cornerstone of ViewMind’s vision. The technology developed could provide a solution to a major brain health issue, potentially benefiting millions, according to Edwards, who sees himself as both a business builder and a committed advocate for these causes.
