MindAffect develops a patented brain-computer interface (BCI) and artificial intelligence (AI) system that rapidly interprets brain responses to auditory and visual stimuli, enabling objective hearing and vision diagnostics. This technology addresses the challenge of accurately testing over 2 billion hard-to-test patients, including children and the elderly, who often cannot provide consistent responses in traditional assessments.

Problem
Traditional hearing and vision tests rely on patient responses, making accurate assessments challenging for individuals who cannot consistently respond, such as children, the elderly, and those with disabilities. This limitation affects over 2 billion people, leading to delayed diagnoses and suboptimal treatment.
Solution
MindAffect offers objective hearing and vision diagnostic systems powered by a patented brain-computer interface (BCI) and artificial intelligence (AI). The technology interprets brain responses to auditory and visual stimuli, providing rapid and accurate assessments without requiring active patient participation. The Sofi® hearing diagnostic system uses an 8-channel headband to measure brain activity in response to auditory stimuli, while the KinderCap combines auditory and visual stimuli to test pre-school children for both hearing and visual impairments simultaneously. The system produces full audiometric threshold results automatically within minutes, eliminating guesswork and uncertainty.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes audiologists, ophthalmologists, pediatricians, and other healthcare professionals who need objective and reliable hearing and vision assessments for patients who are difficult to test using conventional methods.
