Enabling Precision Medicine for the Mind

That’s the promise of our approach—helping doctors objectively assess suicide risk, pain, stress, depression, and other mental health challenges, and match people to therapies that improve the quality and extend the duration of life. This results in the ability to do something unprecedented when treating pain and mental illness: proceeding with confidence. We will also collaborate with pharmaceutical companies towards their new drug development, and that of our own repurposed drug candidates.

The Process

Relief from pain and mental health suffering, in three stages.

Using proprietary apps, we will help doctors and their patients assess risk of mental health issues and track symptoms. We provide them with actionable information: tracking of symptoms, a risk score, and list of personalized recommendations for improvement.

Using blood tests under development, we will help doctors precisely and objectively assess disease state and risk of future events. We will provide doctors and their patients with actionable information: a report containing a risk score and list of personalized medications and nutraceutical options.

Repeated testing will monitor response to treatment and help doctors make adjustments, which may include a combination of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and behavioral solutions.

The Hope

Now pain and mental health management can benefit from the most potent treatment of all: clarity.

Nothing is more stressful than basing crucial health decisions on guesswork. / “Is this the wrong approach?” “Is it too much?” “Not enough?” / Until now, the only approach available was dependent on a patient’s self-report and a doctor’s clinical impression. But now pain and mental health can be treated with scientific rigor. / Quantified assessments, based on biomarker research. Confident therapeutics, tailored to each individual’s unique situation. Optimism based on reality, and hope based on quantifiable results. / A relief from suffering—addressing the cause of pain and mental health problems, and the worry every solution is too imprecise. / “Wondering if you’re right” is its own kind of suffering. We’re here to end it.
