Step 1 of 4 · The scan
Ten minutes. Results the same day.
Ten minutes in a light headset, and your clinicians have a Brain Profile to work from.
No needles, magnets or gelFits into an existing appointmentAny trained team member can run it
For longevity and executive health clinics
Every client's brain, measured.
See how each client's prefrontal cortex activates during tasks in ten minutes, so programme reviews run on measured data, not just questionnaires.

Step 3 of 4 · Brain Profile
What your clinicians see.
Each client's four measures against their own usual range, a timeline of every scan, and a confidence level on every change, ready for the consultation.
Attention, memory, flexibility and efficiencyA confidence level on every changeEvery scan on one timeline
Step 4 of 4 · Client app
What your clients see between visits.
A weekly check-in from their wearable, read against their Brain Profile. Lifestyle Links show which sleep and activity habits go with their better weeks. These are associations, not causes.

What we measure
The brain functions behind focus, decisions and getting things done.
Four measures your clients will recognise in themselves, each read against their own usual range.
Measured in the prefrontal cortex
01 of 04
Attention control
Sustaining focus and filtering out what doesn't matter.
What the client notices
Can't hold concentration through an afternoon. Reads the same page twice.
What it tells you
Whether focus is holding steady across the programme or shifting between visits. Read against their own range, not an age norm.
Their usual range
Scan 1Scan 2
In the clinic
Measured brain function, built into your programmes.
01First visit
Executive performance, quantified
Clients talk about focus and energy. Now there's a measure you can both see.
02Progress reviews
Show the change
Feeling better is good. Attention and memory tracked against their own range is a measurement.
03Protocols
Before and after, measured
Your clinicians choose the protocol. Connectome measures either side of it, against the client's own baseline.
04Retention
The reason they come back
One scan is interesting. Four scans over time is intelligence.
Also used for
Executive healthFor people who have to be on form, and rarely know when they're not.
Midlife programmesFollow attention and memory measures through midlife, alongside the rest of the programme.
Research programmesRepeated measurement alongside the interventions you already deliver, with a confidence level on every change.
The signal
160,000+
brain measurements from the part of the brain that governs executive function.
Light-based sensors read how much oxygenated haemoglobin the prefrontal cortex draws in during two short tasks. That peak response, HbO max, is the measurement everything else is built on.

Compared
Connectome brings more than traditional neuroimaging, for less.
See how Connectome compares with
| Connectome | Online cognitive tests | EEG | MRI and other neuroimaging | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The measurement | ||||
| Primary purpose | Longitudinal monitoring of cognitive function | A one-off score | Clinical diagnostics, sleep and seizure studies | Structural or cross-sectional imaging |
| Signal quality | Light-based. Blinks, jaw and muscle movement don't swamp the signal | N/A. Scores a performance; there is no physiological signal | Sensitive to blinks, muscle, hair and electrode contact. Needs cleaning before it can be read | High inside the scanner. Any movement spoils it |
| Stability | Prefrontal activation during the tasks is stable across sessions (LUCID preprint, with Imperial College London) | Scores drift with practice and mood | Varies with set-up and electrode contact each session | Stable for structure. Function varies by session |
| Read against | The client's own usual range, with a confidence level | A population average | Population norms or a qEEG database | Population norms, read by a radiologist |
| In practice | ||||
| Scan duration | Ten minutes | Five to twenty minutes | Twenty to sixty minutes, including set-up | Up to an hour, plus the referral and the wait |
| Usability | Portable, non-invasive & user-friendly (anyone on your team can run the scan after training) | The client, unsupervised | A trained technician, and someone to interpret the trace | A radiographer, then a radiologist to read it |
| Context integration | Lifestyle Links: sleep, activity and recovery from the client's wearable | None | None | None |
| For the client | ||||
| The client's experience | A light headset, in your clinic. No needles, magnets or gel | A laptop | A cap of electrodes, often with gel | A tube, magnets and lying still in a hospital |
| Cost per client | A fraction of neuroimaging | Low | Moderate, plus a technician's time | High |

FAQs
What clinicians ask us.
No. Connectome measures brain function for wellness and performance. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, prescribe or automate decisions. It gives your clinicians a repeatable measure to read alongside everything else they know about the client.
A headset on site, run by your own team after training with us. Clinics in London can also refer clients to our Soho clinic and we run the scans there.
Wearables (WHOOP, Oura, Garmin, Apple, Fitbit) connect directly. Results sit in a dashboard your clinicians can use in the consultation and share with the client, with their consent.
The method was built with Imperial College London and tested in the LUCID study (92 adults, three scans each, ICC 0.56 to 0.77). References are available on request.
Clients own their data and see it first. Clinician access is role-based and logged. We build the consent flow with you before the first scan.
Programmes are priced by client volume and route: a headset on site with you, or referral to our London clinic. Pricing is on request. Book a call and we'll put a proposal together.
Most clinics start with a 20-minute call and a demo of the platform. From there we design the programme with you, train your team and scan your first clients.
