Neurable, a Boston-based brain-computer interface technology company, has announced a partnership with Canadian precision medicine company Healthspan Digital to bring its neurotechnology to health and longevity clinics and help healthcare professionals. announced that it will help people assess their cognitive abilities and brain health.
brain computer interface It collects brain signals, converts them into commands, and relays them to external devices, such as computers or Internet of Things devices.
Using signal processing technology developed at the University of Michigan, Neurable uses everyday devices such as headphones with overlapping bands to record a person's brain activity. The platform uses AI algorithms to extract and analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) data and measure brainwave activity.
Healthspan Digital leverages analytics, clinical expertise and technology to deliver preventive, personalized health options and delay age-related diseases through early detection.
The company provides clinical services including AI-powered predictive analytics, whole genome sequencing and epigenetic technologies, testing biomarkers, hormones, obesity and metabolic support.
Healthspan is a membership-based platform that works with individual and corporate clients.
Through this partnership, Healthspan will bring Neurable's technology to health and longevity clinics around the world, starting in Dubai, to help healthcare providers assess an individual's brain health and cognitive performance.
“This partnership will strengthen the Healthspan program with advanced brain health tools and ultimately “This represents an important step forward in our mission to improve human performance and well-being.” at the University of British Columbia, it said in a statement.
“By integrating Neurable's BCI technology into precision health and longevity solutions, clinics will be equipped with cutting-edge capabilities to monitor and improve brain health, ultimately improving human performance and longevity. This will contribute to the improvement of

Epson and its subsidiary Epson X Investment Corporation made an undisclosed investment in Newrable last year.
Another neurotech company belongs to Elon Musk. Neuralink was founded in 2016. The company has developed an implantable brain-computer interface called Link.
Last May, the company announced that it had received FDA approval to conduct its first in-human clinical study. Last week, Neuralink reported that a quadriplegic person with a brain chip implant was able to use his head to play video games.
Still, researchers Concerned about lack of transparency about implants and activist groups The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, which advocates against animal testing, filed a U.S. Department of Agriculture lawsuit against the University of California, Davis in 2022, accusing Neuralink of violating regulations. filed a complaint. Violated federal animal welfare laws by conducting invasive tests and brain experiments on monkeys.
