Brainbot’s vision is to offer widespread access to innovative, safe, and effective digital tools that give people living with concussion symptoms step-by-step support to get back to life.
Many people who suffer from concussion symptoms do not have the cost effective, timely, accessible, and day-to-day support they need to get back to life. This leaves them feeling alone and stuck with their symptoms.
After a concussion, people may have been told to get back to activity as tolerated. But if you’re suffering from a concussion, you know that every day is different. Brainbot helps you navigate each and every day with confidence, with just the right amount of activity right at every step in the journey to recovery, on good days and bad.
Created by Occupational Therapists and guided by the latest research, we pride ourselves on being person-centered. Our programs are tailored to each person’s goals and progress. We want to ensure that everyone can recover at their own pace and get back to activities that are most important to them.
