Neurosteer Wins Roche Alzheimer’s Innovation Challenge

Roche & Startup Nation Central • Jul 14, 2022

And the winner in Roche and SNC’s Alzheimer’s Innovation Challenge is… Neurosteer, who has developed a solution designed for the early detection of a variety of neurological disorders. The solution aims to bring EEG tests to the patient’s home with a wearable device and a cloud-based system that together provide real-time monitoring and assessment of brain activity. The wearable, attached to the patient’s forehead, monitors cognitive and emotional activities. The information is gathered in the cloud, where it is being processed and assessed using AI and machine learning techniques. The insights are relayed to the patient and the care-giver in the form of neuro-feedback or alerts.


Neurosteer was one of 5 finalists in the challenge and will receive a prize of 100K NIS, a System Check (EU solution readiness check) by RoX Health, and mentorship with medical and business experts.


The challenge was launched by Roche and Start-Up Nation Central with the vision of enhanced digital health support for Alzheimer’s disease patients and their caregivers. The aim was to identify innovative solutions that will make a difference in patients’ lives.

Congratulations to the winning team!

Monitoring Two Runners During the NYC Marathon

By Neurosteer • 03 Nov, 2019
Neurosteer monitored two runners, in real time, during the NYC marathon on Nov 3rd. Prof. Steven Laureys, a key figure in the European Human Brain Project, was behind this initiative, which created significant interest in sports and other brain monitoring in extreme physical conditions. The article in DeMorgen describes it (in Dutch; use Google Translate). The full event was streamed live on Facebook . When going over the recording, one can see that Steven was meditating during much of the run (a well-known method to reduce oxygen consumption). 

Monitoring and Assessing Surgeons at the ACS Conference

By Neurosteer • 30 Oct, 2019
Neurosteer, together with Stanford Prof. Carla Pugh, is quantifying and assessing surgeon performance before and during surgery as part of the Stanford Surgical Metrics project. During the American College of Surgeons conference in San Fransisco, brain activity data from more than 200 surgeons was collected. Check out the video to see the cognitive assessment and monitoring during simulated surgery. This illustrates an application of Neurosteer’s platform for the evaluation of cognitive performance of healthy subjects. The same setup can be used to monitor pilots and others during critical missions.
