What we do
Mental health is one of the largest healthcare issues globally. The WHO estimate that nearly a billion people live with a mental health disorder, with anxiety and depression being the most common. At TrivarX, we believe that an objective measure of mental health is key to helping address this.
Our technology analyses the electrical signals from the brain and the heart to identify mental illness. Our lead product, MEB-001 analyses the data from a standard sleep study to identify depression at a sensitivity of over 85%, compared to the standard of care which is only 46% accurate.
