The Future of
Psychiatric Treatment is
Data-Driven
that captures event-related potentials (ERPs)
and translates them into actionable clinical insights
to get better outcomes.
Changing the way psychiatric conditions are treated
We’re shaping the future of precision psychiatry by using objective measures to diagnose and treat psychiatric conditions. We use clinically reliable indicators of brain function to develop objective, brain-based patient categories - otherwise known as neurotypes. At Universal Brain, we're translating cutting-edge knowledge from clinical neuroscience research to identify subtypes of psychiatric conditions.
Our Solutions
Neurotyping
We've developed the first and only neuroscience-based platform to biotype and treat psychiatric conditions using brain function, and we're starting with depression and expanding to other psychiatric conditions.
Using a next-generation EEG wearable paired with our digital ERP interface, Neurotique™, we provide users with interpretable data about their cognitive and emotional abilities, aiding with diagnosis and treatment decisions.
This can be applied to aid clinicians in treatment decision-making and in psychiatric clinical drug trials.
What is Neurotyping?
Neurotyping is grouping people based on functional brain measures derived from EEG data collected while completing a series of tasks. Neurotyping involves measuring cognitive and emotional abilities, using reliable and valid neuroscience measures of brain function. It can reduce heterogeneity, enable patient selectivity, increase clinical trial outcomes, and help clinicians better understand their patient’s diagnoses to improve treatment. Universal Brain’s platform provides insights about functional neural measures so that each person can be understood in terms of their own unique profile of brain function.
How it works
Psychiatric disorders, like depression, are complex, and a one-size-fits-all approach is a barrier to improving outcomes. Rather than focusing solely on expressed/endorsed symptoms, we create patient classifications based on underlying neural function. By neurotyping patients, we examine the functioning of core neural systems – everything from attention to memory. We identify subtypes of psychiatric conditions based on patterns of connections between these functional neural measures.
Universal Brain Platform
We’re on a mission to make data-driven decisions and shift the paradigm of how we understand and treat psychiatric conditions between these functional neural measures.
