Head of Engineering

Brain health conditions impact millions annually, preventing many from reaching their full potential. At BrainEye, we have developed a proprietary AI-based eye-tracking platform that utilizes smartphones to measure ocular biomarkers, assessing changes in brain function in real time. This technology enables the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases and acute abnormalities such as concussions, head trauma, strokes, and drug use. Our platform leverages cutting-edge smartphone technology, advanced algorithms, and years of scientific research led by world-renowned professors with more than 125 neuro-ophthalmic publications to their name. This ensures that our eye measurements are quantified with precision and consistency, whether in a clinical setting or at home. By making this innovative technology accessible to everyone, everywhere, we are dedicated to saving lives and improving health outcomes. The science is here.
