Cogwear, co-founded by Michael Platt, PhD, Director of the Wharton Neuroscience Initiative and the James S. Riepe University Professor with multiple appointments across Penn, and Arjun Ramakrishnan, PhD, a former research associate in the Platt Lab in the Department of Neuroscience, is developing a wearable device that gives real-time insights into brain functions.
Cogwear was named one of the top startups to watch in 2025 by the Philadelphia Business Journal in recognition of its funding raised in the last two years and recent growth and its future growth projections and fundraising plans. The company plans to launch version 2.0 of its headband and platform technology, including its new app for iOS and Android.
