For you, by you, BiAffect!
Like a fitness tracker for the brain, I am a smartphone technology designed to track brain health and mental health as a person continues to use their phone as usual.
I was originally created by a group of clinicians and researchers at the University of Illinois who saw the transformational power of digital technology back in 2016. Thanks to a lot of citizen scientists who helped me improve by contributing their data for research, my creators gradually figured out a way to unobtrusively track brain health by mathematically modeling the way we interact with our smartphone keyboard everyday (texting a friend, posting on social media, writing an email, etc.).
From humble beginnings, I was initially seeded via a New Venture Fund funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation after I was selected as the winner of the Mood Challenge for Researchkit, and since then it has been quite an amazing journey!

Our community has been so fortunate and blessed with many many full-feature news articles and TV interviews, including Chicago Tribune, Chicago Tonight, Forbes, the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press news, the Rolling Stone, IEEE EMBS society, CBS News, IEEE Spectrum, WCIU/CW26, FreeThink, and TEDxChicago. Most recently, I might be making it to the new documentary about bipolar spectrum called BrainStorm the Film, too!
Today, I continue to grow thanks to every single one of you who has helped make me, funded my development, believed in me and trusted me with your data.
Together, we could make a difference in revolutionizing how brain health is measured!!
