How does BrainYears™ compare to activity monitors and readiness wearables?

Modified on Wed, 22 Apr at 7:33 PM

Wearable activity monitors such as smart rings, wristbands, and smartwatches track sleep, heart rate, HRV, steps, and recovery. They help you understand lifestyle patterns and day-to-day readiness. But they do not measure brain activity at all — they infer general wellness from body signals. A readiness score tells you how recovered you feel today; it cannot tell you how your brain is aging.

BrainYears™ measures the brain directly, under controlled conditions, and produces a functional brain age that tracks your cognitive trajectory over months and years. These are complementary tools serving different purposes: activity monitors optimize your daily routine; BrainYears™ tells you whether your brain function is stable, improving, or declining.
