About

MindFind offers the mental equivalent of vital signs and blood work by enabling objective behavioral measures with high utility and accessibility akin to physiological health indicators. This computerized assessment aid is powered by ideas and techniques from the fields of naturalistic neuroscience, human-computer interaction, and software-as-a-service ventures. By providing actionable reports of mental functioning across reflexive, cognitive, and emotional dimensions needed for everyday life, MindFind can inform clinical care and trials for patients with neurobehavioral conditions, such as traumatic brain injury and stroke/aphasia. Expected benefits include more timely and individualized interventions, leading to faster patient recovery and better quality of life.

MindFind features dynamic behavioral measures that are more useful and usable than state-of-the-art comparables adapted from desktop or pen-and-paper tests. By analogy, comparable test batteries are akin to the first commercial websites that featured digital scans of printed brochures, whereas MindFind is analogous to modern websites that leverage more dynamic browser capabilities.

Target users and buyers have expressed strong interest in utilizing MindFind reports to inform rehabilitation, referral, and return-to-activity decisions. After finding large case-control differences in clinical studies (ex: Cohen's d>2), we are pursuing larger validation studies in partnership with leading clinicians and scientists at Mass General Brigham, University of California Davis, and University of Pittsburgh.
