Our Mission
To build a foundation model that can diagnose and treat psychological disorders.
Problem
Imagine, if your cardiologist would try to determine your heart disease and treatment plan without any tools.
In modern psychotherapy biofeedback, data analysis and machine learning is none existent.
Through machine learning and biofeedback we can provide better treatment and diagnostics.
Solution
At NeoSoma we are developing a foundation model that uses biofeedback to connect the physiological reactions of the body to the mental state.
Biofeedback
NeoSoma uses vital parameters and interaction data as a basis to analyze the patients responses.
Machine Learning
The biofeedback data is analyzed, in real time, with NeoSoma's ML and provides validated insights.
Simulation
The therapist can adapt the simulation or exposure according to the patients response.
