About CERVAI™ Brain Health AI

Brain Health AI Solution

CERVAI™ is a world-first consumer brain health and wellness AI solution that estimates brain age and provides a brain health score. Based on research and development at Drexel University and the University of Miami, CERVAI™ combines a Brain AgeEstimation and Brain Health Assessment tool with the aim to ‘raise a red flag’ for potential brain health issues. CERVAI™ can assess if a brain is aging more quickly or more slowly than is typical for healthy individuals. Brain age is estimated by collecting neural activity data of the brain with a low-cost and easy-to-use electroencephalogram (“EEG”) headset and calculating the data with a proprietary machine-learning model. In addition, CERVAI™ can assess if a person has a healthy brain or is in the early stage of cognitive decline. Brain health is scored by taking a clinically validated assessment for brain resilience, vulnerability and performance functions. Individuals can seek out personalized diagnostics and interventions, such as medication or lifestyle changes, that may help to decrease the development or progression of cognitive decline.
