What are Neurotech's primary areas of focus?
There are several angles and ways to categorize Neurotech startups, ranging from broad to specific and sometimes going far beyond what we would consider Neurotech.
Below are the primary areas of concentration for Neurotech startups today:
ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSTICS
Cognitive Assessment: A company that develops or provides access to digital neurocognitive testing by using a computer, tablet, or other digital interfaces to administer, score, or interpret brain function tests and related factors pertinent to questions of neurologic illness and health.
Cognitive Stimulation and Rehabilitation: The goal of digital cognitive rehabilitation startups is to compensate for or improve cognitive deficits caused by injuries or diseases that impair the brain's optimal function. Cognitive stimulation, such as cognitive training, aims to enhance and maximize cognitive functions and capacities still intact through digitally supplied activities. Startups in digital therapeutics are actively attempting to utilize digital technologies to achieve these objectives.
