Short Description: We are developing a neuromorphic brain chip that records healthy neural activity before Alzheimer’s onset and replays it to restore memory, aiming to preserve identity and slow cognitive decline.
Lessons Learned: 1) We learned that the real problem isn’t just memory loss—it’s the lack of tools to preserve and restore brain function before it’s gone. 2) Interviews revealed clinical gaps, emotional pain points, and market hesitancy, helping us refine our value, focus on Alzheimer’s, and shape a viable path for both impact and adoption.
