Reimagining Recovery: Our Mission to Revolutionize OT Care

Inspired by personal experience, driven by a passion for change, and powered by AI, Brainbot is on a mission to make personalized Occupational Therapy care accessible to everyone.
Turning Personal Challenges into Purpose
Brainbot was born out of personal struggle and professional insight. Shelley, an Occupational Therapist with over a decade of experience, has spent her career helping people recover from injuries sustained in car accidents. As a clinician, she was often frustrated by the lack of technology in clinical practice that could optimize her time with clients. Her perspective shifted even further when she experienced her own concussion, enduring an 8-month recovery. This personal journey revealed the significant gaps in care that make it hard to return to daily life—like taking care of children, getting back to work, or even just going grocery shopping.

Adam, Brainbot’s CEO and Shelley’s husband, witnessed firsthand how debilitating concussions can be and how inaccessible OT care is for many people. With a background in business, law, and government, Adam brings a unique ability to drive growth in complex, highly regulated industries.

Together, they set out to build Brainbot so that no family would have to suffer like they did.

By combining high-quality OT care with AI technology, they are on a mission to make personalized Occupational Therapy accessible to everyone.
