The signal
It starts with one signal: oxygenated blood in the prefrontal cortex.
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.

01
Four measures
Attention control, working memory, cognitive flexibility and neural efficiency, read from the signal and the patient's task performance.
02
Their usual range
From the second scan, every measure sits inside the patient's own usual range, with a confidence level. An off day and a real change look different.
03
Context from their wearable
Sleep, activity and recovery from Oura, WHOOP, Garmin, Apple or Fitbit, read next to every scan. Lifestyle Links show what moves with the brain.
04
Change over time
Every scan adds to the record. Events such as a new protocol, travel or illness are logged against it, so the trend has context.
The web app
Every patient's brain, in one place.
Scans, usual range, Lifestyle Links and events for every patient, in the consultation and between visits. Patients see their own results in the Connectome app.

What we measure
The brain functions that shape everyday life.
Each patient's Brain Profile tracks four measures against their own usual range, so you can see how they're really doing between visits.
Measured in the prefrontal cortex
01 of 04
Attention control
Staying on what matters and filtering out what doesn't.
In the consultation
The patient who says they can't focus at work, and now has a number to put next to it.
What it tells clinicians
Whether focus is holding across the programme, or drifting before the patient notices.

The tasks

Memory taskSpot what came a few steps back

Lifestyle Links

In the clinic
Evidenced brain health is central to modern care.
First visit
Brain fog, measured
Patients describe fog, poor focus and fatigue. Now there's a baseline you can both see.
Progress reviews
Show the change
Feeling better is good. Attention and memory tracked against their own range is a measurement.
Protocols
See what changed
Your clinicians choose the protocol. Connectome measures either side of it, against the patient's own baseline.
Retention
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 and menopause programmesTrack attention and memory through a period patients often describe as foggy.
Research programmesRepeated measurement alongside the interventions you already deliver, with a confidence level on every change.
Compared
Connectome brings more than traditional neuroimaging, for less.
| Connectome | Online cognitive tests | EEG | MRI and other neuroimaging | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | Depends on the device, the room and the patient's day | 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 patient's own usual range, with a confidence level | A population average | Population norms or a qEEG database | Population norms, read by a radiologist |
| 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 patient, 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 patient's wearable | None | None | None |
| The patient'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 patient | 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 reliable, repeatable measure to read alongside everything else they know about the patient.
Two routes. Refer patients to our clinic in Soho and we run the scans, or run a headset on site with your own team, trained by us. Most clinics start with referrals and move on site as volume grows.
Wearables (WHOOP, Oura, Garmin, Apple, Fitbit) connect directly. Results sit in a dashboard your clinicians can use in the consultation and share with the patient, with their consent.
The method was built with Imperial College London and validated in the LUCID study (92 adults, three scans each, ICC 0.56 to 0.77). This research is a preprint and has not yet been peer reviewed. References are available on request.
Patients 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 patient volume and route: referral to our Soho clinic, or a headset on site with you. Pricing is on request. Book a call and we'll put a proposal together.
Most clinics start with a 20-minute call, then send a clinician to Soho for a live scan. From there we design the programme with you and scan your first patients.
Better consultations start with ten minutes.
