  • Cognivive, Inc.
    Co-Founder, Ceo/Chief Science Officer
    Cognivive, Inc. Jan 2017 - Jul 2022
    Cognivive is a digital neurotherapeutics company developing evidence-based treatments for neurobehavioral conditions. They are delivered as specially-designed virtual reality games. The first products target the neurocognitive and neuromotor systems damaged by stroke and traumatic brain injury, causing devastating and costly functional impairments. Our treatments will solve neuro-rehabilitation's most intractable problem - that of providing highly effective, targeted, self-motivating treatments that patients will self-administer extensively at home. We will also create treatments to improve cognitive functioning impaired by a range of neurodevelopmental disorders that affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide. We believe our products, alone or in conjunction with CNS drugs, can radically improve clinical outcomes while massively reducing provider and payer costs.
