We are developing a novel therapeutic discovery platform for Alzheimer's disease.
Applied Cognition is developing a novel medical device and platform for translational measurement of a newly discovered biology of the brain whose failure has been shown to cause neurodegeneration in preclinical models.
We will be the first to non-invasively, continuously measure this biology in humans enabling us to develop treatments that stop or reverse the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

The New Science of Alzheimer's
Recent discoveries in the biology of Alzheimer’s disease highlight the interplay between neurophysiological, cerebral vascular and neurovascular coupling playing a critical role in the clearance of neurodegenerative proteins and metabolic waste products.
This interplay is responsible for clearing toxic amyloid and tau waste.
Our novel first-in-human approach to measuring this new biology uses innovations in microtechnology, material sciences and AI to deliver an unobtrusive, wearable medical device.
With continuous monitoring of this biology we will discover interventions to engage it and therapeutics to slow or halt Alzheimer’s disease progression.
Completed internal studies
Clinical Trials
Clinical Development
We are validating our platform in clinical trials and using it to discover new therapeutics.
We are validating our medical device against neuroimaging measurements. We are demonstrating our platform's ability to measure engagement of this biology using diverse therapeutic modalities that we will advance into clinical development.
