Five senses.
Five neurological signals.
We establish each person's sensory baseline, measure what changes over time, and connect meaningful findings to a next step.
At home, in 30 min. Each test benchmarked against its clinical gold standard.
Your brain takes in the world through your senses first. Measure the inputs and you see change before memory does.

Sensory change is common,
measurable and acted on too late.
Hearing and vision loss are among the largest modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline (2024 Lancet Commission). The senses are rarely measured, so change shows up late.
“I’ve implemented this with all of my patients.”

We measure. We manage. We remeasure.
Measure
A baseline for all five senses.
Manage
A next step for every meaningful change, starting at home, routing to care when needed.
Remeasure.
Retests show what changed, person by person.
Smell can recover. Twelve weeks of smell training measurably improves it, which is why every next step starts at home.
Where it fits
Long-term care insurers
A healthy-aging benefit that engages policyholders years before a claim: a baseline, retests, and follow-up when changes appear.
Health plans
A care pathway, not a one-time score: find sensory needs, connect members to hearing, vision and other services, then track follow-through and retests.
Health systems and practices
A neurological outcome measure for the protocols you already run.
Senior living
A baseline for every resident and a next step for each change.
Employers and research
A brain health benefit people finish in 30 min, plus standardized multisensory data for research.

Vi at La Jolla Village started with 12 residents and grew to 65 by word of mouth.
RUNNING IN PRACTICES AND COMMUNITIES LIKE
Start with a Phase 1 rollout.
Pick a defined population. People test at home in 30 min with the kit and the app, with nothing else to install, and we report participation, retests, referrals and follow-through.
