Project Ipsilon - taking cognitive vitals - one  musical note at a time. 

Music Activity, Data and Artificial Intelligence = Window to Cognitive Health.
Music, notably piano playing, involves multiple sensory processing, comprehension, quasi-simultaneous decision making and action execution.  Simply put, it is one of the best ways to evaluate brain functions and to train minds.

Our Products:

1)  Ipsilon Cognitive Test - "The Cognitive Vitals"
Web-based computerized cognitive assessment aid, used on tablet.  Expected launch in 3Q 2020 in EU as medical device certification class 1 device (software as medical device).  

Fast, accurate, game-like cognitive checkup which fits to clinical workflow. 
Suitable for assessing pre-clinical, early dementia, and MCI (mild cognitive impairment) often caused by chronic illnesses. 
Operable by non-specialist (remote care/ tele-health), 3-5 min tablet checkup gives immediate cognitive functionality overview. 

Features:
What it does: evaluate executive function, inhibition control, attention, memory function by quantifying learning to assess brain functionalities.
What inputs/ outputs it assesses: comprehension (visuo-spatial/motor encoding) and time-stamped finger responses.  
What advantage?: eliminates language biases, operable by non-specialist.  Elicit multi-sensory responses, monitoring capability of many brain regions and functionalities.  
What value proposition?: compatible to research-grade cognitive batteries, can be combined with EEG and eye tracking.  Can be used as dementia prevention tool. Can work as a part of telemedicine/ remote care for cognitive monitoring. 
Product availability: as an web-based app (software as service) for tablets, by subscription. 
Intended customers: healthcare providers. 



2) Dementia Risk Assessment 
Ipsilon's artificial neural network tool to analyze the collected data and detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia among risk groups. 
 
Features: 
What it does: detect cognitive abnormalities associated with MCI and early dementia, calculates likelihood of developing dementia.
What data does it use?: Ipsilon Test collects user response data and our algorithm analyzes the data and determine likelihood of developing dementia. 
What advantage?: MCI and early dementia are hard to detect.  Music playing reveals slightest cognitive abnormalities.
What purpose?: To create personal baseline, enable early detection, providing access to early intervention to delay onset and/or preserve cognitive functionalities. 
Side effects?: No. Non-invasive. 

Targeted conditions:
                  Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and vascular dementia; Alzheimer's Disease; Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementia

Targeted customers:
                  Healthcare providers 
                  Assisted living facilities
                  Vertical industries:
                               Insurance: elderly cognitive fitness for driving
                               Financial institutions: assessing elderly's asset management decision-making capabilities


3) Consultancy over implementing know-how of music to optimize cognitive performances available.
