HAIFA, Israel, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MindUP, Israel's first dedicated digital health incubator, is pleased to welcome CogMe to its family of portfolio companies.
CogMe is developing a platform to reduce cognitive drops in populations at risk, initially focusing on delirium, an acute condition that most commonly arises in an inpatient setting. Using AI, CogMe will provide a comprehensive solution that will analyze cognitive and biological indicators of the individual patient to predict, detect and intervene to prevent cognitive drops.
"Delirium, a prevalent and dangerous sudden state of confusion common in elderly adults, is nearly universally under-recognized and under-treated," noted Liat Feinberg, CEO and co-founder of CogMe. "It often leads to a cascade of events that include patient falls, further complications, extended post-acute care and even death. Naturally, these adverse events also increase the cost of care. We believe that early detection is the key to preventing this deterioration."
