Monitoring
Digital Biomarkers & Continuous Monitoring
Real-world insights for personalized brain health
Swiss BrAIn Health develops a comprehensive digital biomarker platform that combines smartphone technologies, wearable sensors, and contactless monitoring to continuously assess cognitive, behavioral, and lifestyle indicators relevant to brain health.
By capturing real-world data beyond traditional clinical visits, the platform enables earlier detection of changes and supports personalized prevention strategies.
Why Continuous Monitoring Matters
Brain health changes gradually over time and cannot always be fully captured during occasional clinical assessments. Continuous monitoring provides objective insights into daily behavior, cognition, sleep, mobility, and wellbeing, allowing earlier detection of meaningful changes.

What Are Digital Biomarkers?
Digital biomarkers are objective, measurable indicators collected through smartphones, sensors, and digital technologies that provide continuous information about an individual's health and behavior.
Cognitive Assessment
Smartphone-based assessments help monitor memory, attention, processing speed, and other cognitive functions over time.
Mobility Monitoring
Gait, balance, and movement patterns provide valuable indicators of neurological and cognitive health.
Sleep Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of sleep quality and sleep-related behaviors supports the detection of brain health changes.
Neuro-Ophthalmological Assessment
Digital eye-based assessments capture visual and neurological markers associated with cognitive decline and brain health.
Emotion & Mood Detection
Speech characteristics and chatbot interactions provide insights into emotional wellbeing and mental health.
Contactless Monitoring
Passive sensing technologies capture everyday behavioral patterns without disrupting daily routines.
The Digital Biomarker Ecosystem
User-Centered Monitoring
Monitoring technologies are developed in close collaboration with patients and healthcare professionals to ensure usability, acceptance, and meaningful integration into everyday life.
Easy to use
Monitoring tools are designed to be intuitive and accessible, enabling long-term use without specialized technical knowledge.
Low User Burden
Data collection is largely automated and integrated into daily routines, minimizing effort for participants.
Real-World Applicability
Digital biomarkers are captured in everyday environments, providing insights that reflect real-life behavior and health.
From Research to Clinical Practice
The platform is designed for integration into healthcare systems and Brain Health Clinics, enabling validated digital biomarkers to support clinical decision-making and preventive care:
- Clinical Integration
- Secure Data Governance
- Validated Digital Biomarkers
