Our company was founded in 2000 by leading neuroscientist, Dr. Evian Gordon, MD, Ph.D. who invested 18 years in R&D to measure the 12 brain capacities that define mental health. We are headquartered in San Francisco, but have employees all over the country.
Our mission is to remove mental health stigma by improving self-awareness and enabling individuals, providers and organizations to manage mental health as they do physical health.
Our SaaS-based, mental health platform combines monitoring capabilities from assessments, screenings, biometrics and genetics with personalized self-care support tools. We offer solutions for three market segments: Population Health, Providers and Precision Medicine, providing our customers with actionable data, operational efficiencies, precision medicine diagnostics, and health and productivity outcomes, while providing their constituents with improved self-awareness and support tools.
