90% of traumatic brain Injuries go un-diagnosed. Brain injuries often need hospital diagnosis
Instant Brain Health Insights With Objective Results In Real-Time.
Brain Health Now (BHN) is a UK MedTech company developing a portable EEG headband that connects to a smartphone to detect brain injury in real time. Using AI-supported software, it provides rapid assessment outside hospitals.
Designed for sport, defence, and high-risk workplaces, the system delivers instant guidance — “fit to play” or “seek care” — helping identify injuries earlier and reduce long-term health risks while easing pressure on healthcare services.
BHN is currently conducting academic validation trials, refining its hardware for scalable manufacturing, and improving its machine-learning models. The project will also contribute to building the UK’s largest anonymised EEG dataset for future AI and clinical research.
Working with partners including Leeds Carnegie and Nottingham University, BHN is preparing for rapid deployment following validation, helping position the UK at the forefront of next-generation brain trauma detection.
A Lifelong Record For Your Brain Health
Brain Health Now is a UK MedTech company developing a portable EEG headband that connects to a smartphone app to assess brain health instantly outside hospitals.
Designed for sport, defence, and high-risk workplaces, the lightweight wearable provides fast, objective brain monitoring at the point of impact. This helps coaches, medics, and supervisors make safer, evidence-based decisions when brain injury or concussion is suspected.
By bringing hospital-grade brain monitoring to real-world environments, Brain Health Now aims to improve early detection of brain injuries that often go undiagnosed due to the lack of rapid, reliable assessment tools.
1,200,000 Head Injuries Are Un-Recognised Annually
The system provides immediate readings of brain activity, analysed by advanced software to offer a clear “fit to play” or “seek further care” recommendation. It also creates a secure, lifelong brain health record for each user, offering valuable long-term insight.
In parallel, anonymised brain data from consenting users will be added to what we aim to become the largest EEG database in the world, a powerful resource for future research into concussion, dementia, PTSD, and other neurological conditions.

Athletes
Several contact sports (e.g. football, hockey, lacrosse, and wrestling) are known for high rates of head injuries. While improved gear, stronger regulations, and player education has helped with raising awareness, there is a diagnostic void for proper identification of players affected by a mTBI.
Uniformed Services
TBI is a significant health issue for service men and women due to injuries that occur during training and military operations. The impact of which affects the level of unit readiness and troop retention. The Army has noted that combat medics need to be able to accurately and objectively assess soldiers with mild to moderate TBI
