Frequently Asked Questions
Is SuperSenses a dementia test?
No. It's how you keep your brain's inputs strong, years before memory is ever in question. It measures how well your five senses work and tracks change over time. It doesn't diagnose anything. Sensory change has many causes, from a cold to a medication to earwax, and most are worth fixing whatever the cause.
How accurate are the tests?
Each test is benchmarked against its clinical gold standard (such as audiometry for hearing and ETDRS charts for vision) in an IRB-approved, international, multi-site study. Results are expected in 2027.
Does a low result mean something is wrong with my brain?
Not on its own. One low result is often local and fixable, which is why it comes with a next step and a recheck. The pattern worth acting on is two or more senses lower together, or a change from your own last result. A strong result across all five is reassuring.
What happens after a result?
Every low result comes with one clear next step, like smell practice, an eye exam or a hearing check. Your clinic or community sets where those steps go. The app follows up until it's done, and a retest shows what changed.
Why all five senses?
Because risk adds up. Dementia risk was 1.5x with one impaired sense, 1.9x with two and 2.85x with three or more (Brenowitz, 2019). A single-sense test can't see that pattern.
Who is behind SuperSenses?
Founder and CEO Datar Sahi, medical advisor Dr. Sita Kedia (neurologist and Chief Medical Officer of PALM Health), a scientific advisory board, and research collaborators at Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Harvard, the University of East Anglia, Newcastle and Swansea.
Who sees my results?
You do. If you take SuperSenses through a clinic or community, their team sees results for people in their program. Every record exports as a PDF.
Do you sell treatments?
No. We never sell our own interventions, so every next step is about what's right for you, not what we sell.
