MindSquare targets a highly relevant medical problem with potentially innovative mobile technology for concussion assessments. However, the submission is critically undermined by unrealistic assertions (e.g., 'most people have used my product'), a confusing financial claim ('all time marketcap: 2500000' as monthly revenue), and vague demographic targets ('everyone'). These red flags result in heavy penalties across traction, reach, and response quality criteria, keeping the score in the minimal traction tier.

Project Details

Description
Mindsquare is a technology company specializing in concussion/brain trauma assessments. The validated assessments can be conducted all through a mobile device using artificial intelligence, machine learning, motion video, still object recognition, and automatic speech recognition. Assessments are done at the point of impact and within a couple of minutes. Users gain access to a variety of assessments and all data is stored in a HIPAA compliant environment. With increased data, our system becomes more robust which improves accuracy and scoring. Our technology can identify and analyze certain factors that may contribute to the severity of a concussion. The type of helmet/pads worn, gender, height, and weight can all be contributing factors. Enabling users to have a more educated conversation with their doctor. www.mind-sq.com For more information please email: info@mindsquareinc.com
