The company's technology uses video games to detect signs of depression and monitor symptoms over time, providing clinicians with a more accurate and faster process for assessing and monitoring major depression.

"Traditional methods of diagnosing depression rely on subjective questionnaires, which can be inaccurate and fail to capture the nuances of early signs of depression. This leads to misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, and a significant burden on individuals and the healthcare system."
