The First
Cognitive Vital Sign
The earliest warnings of brain decline come through the senses
Developed with leading scientists
Built for usability, and impact
Validation Evidence
The first longitudinal dataset built from repeatable, self-administered testing across all five senses, establishing a new reference standard for early functional decline.
Population patterns
Consistent with Large-Scale Population Studies
Mortality risk rises with severity of sensory changes.Hearing and vision impairments show clear dose-dependent hazard ratios.
Functional decline modeled with and without early sensory intervention.Tracking senses defines the window where slope can still be changed.
Measured prevalence of reduced sensory function in our cohort matches rates reported in large-scale studies (NIH, JAMA, Lancet).
Expected age-related decline contrasted with trajectories shaped by cumulative life events.
This moves large-scale patterns into a personal, trackable framework.
Individual Sensory Tests
Distribution of function across each sense in our cohort.
Variability is measurable and consistent with population biology
Scientific Leadership
SuperSenses' Chief Medical Officer
Dr. Vince Bennett brings over 20 years of experience in critical care and emergency medicine to our team. He served as Western Regional Medical Director for Envision Healthcare and led emergency departments at Hollywood Presbyterian and Cedars-Sinai Marina hospitals. He later founded his own physician group, which now manages critical care services across seven hospitals in LA.
Dr. Bennet's commitment to advancing healthcare made him the Principal Investigator for the landmark UCLA FAST-MAG study. Today, his focus is on longevity medicine, specializing in exosomes and stem cells, where he’s developing protocols for both elite athletes and geriatric patients. Dr. Bennett’s passion for preventive healthcare, such as SuperSenses, aligns with his belief in the power of early interventions, which led him to join our team enthusiastically.
Dr. Jon Overdevest, MD PhD
Dr. Overdevest directs the Smell and Taste Center at Columbia University and is a dual-trained physician-scientist in otolaryngology and sensory neuroscience. He guides the clinical design of SuperSenses' smell and taste protocols, ensuring they reflect the latest science and are accessible to aging populations.
A leader in multisensory research and early functional decline, Dr. Overdevest also oversees IRB-reviewed validation studies supporting SuperSenses’ impact in senior living and preventative health.
Dr. Yangyang Deng, PhD
Dr. Deng is a faculty biostatistician at Johns Hopkins University with deep expertise in longitudinal health modeling, wearable sensor data, and early disease detection. He leads the design of SuperSenses’ statistical analysis plans (SAPs) and validation protocols, ensuring every test meets standards for reproducibility and scientific integrity.
His work spans NIH-funded research and real-world digital health tools, making him instrumental in shaping SuperSenses into a rigorous, data-driven platform.
Dr. Molly Duong
Dr. Molly Duong, is a distinguished Optometrist based in Southern California. Graduating with a Doctor of Optometry (OD) degree, Dr. Duong exhibits exceptional proficiency in diagnosing, treating, and managing various eye disorders. Dr. Duong's deep understanding and hands-on experience with diverse patient demographics bolster her capabilities in improving vision and managing ocular health. On top of clinical care, she is also involved with various independent medical writing projects on a wide spectrum of ocular topics for ophthalmologists in the UK.
Her commitment to patient education and continuous learning underlines her ethos. She finds great fulfillment in advancing the field of eye care, affirming her stance as an outstanding choice for a science advisory role in sensory technology.
Michael McKenna, AuD
Michael McKenna, AuD,is a board-certified Doctor of Audiology. Dr. McKenna graduated from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania in May 2020, and previously, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh in May 2015. His areas of expertise and clinical interests include the diagnostic evaluation and management of hearing and vestibular disorders. He has extensive knowledge and experience with both pediatric and adult populations in the fields of hearing aids, cochlear implants, tinnitus, aural rehabilitation, as well as vestibular management.
He takes great pride in educating patients about their hearing and balance, and loves being able to help improve the lives of others through better hearing and communication.
