Cogwear, Inc.

Cogwear, Inc. has developed a wearable technology platform that captures clinical-grade electroencephalography (EEG) data outside of traditional laboratory environments. The company's primary product is a comfortable, machine-washable headband constructed from breathable fabric that houses proprietary, nanotechnology-inspired sensors. By integrating these sensors with machine learning and AI-powered algorithms, the device accurately measures, interprets, and reports real-time electrical brain activity to a mobile application. This technology is designed to function effectively even while users are walking, exercising, or performing daily activities, overcoming the motion-related signal distortion typically associated with mobile EEG monitoring.

The company's solution aims to provide individuals, healthcare providers, psychologists, and coaches with actionable insights into cognitive and emotional states. Potential applications span a diverse range of fields, including the management of behavioral health conditions, the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, sports safety, and human performance optimization. Cogwear is actively pursuing FDA clearance for various medical applications and collaborates with partners in sectors like neuromarketing and sports protection to leverage its data platform for improved decision-making and safety. Founded in 2018 as a spinout from the University of Pennsylvania, the startup continues to expand its research, development, and manufacturing capabilities to bring these insights to broader professional and consumer markets.
