Our aim is to create predictive models for cognitive decline and mental health symptoms.\n\nWe began with a [mobile app](https://usefusion.ai) that helps users manage changes in productivity, physical and mental health using personalized prompts. Our [web interface](https://usefusion.ai/research) allows users to record activity data during tasks and validated cognitive experiments. This data is then analyzed to reveal variations in brain activity.\n\t\nWe have since introduced [Quests](https://usefusion.ai/blog/quests), enabling distributed data collection around areas of interest and shared results. We believe that this is a critical piece of infrastructure required to accelerate progress in neurotech & decentralized science.\n\n![Quest Onboarding](https://res.cloudinary.com/og-tech/image/upload/ar_16:9,c_fill,e_sharpen,fl_progressive,g_auto,w_1000/v1721224697/PHOTO-2024-06-06-04-51-33_gdmpgv.jpg)\n\n## Principles\n- Privacy: Local first & user's are anonymous by default. People & not platforms should own their data.\n- Ease of use: Bringing research into people’s daily lives means we have to lower the barrier to entry. You do not need to have a 'science' background to use our tools.\n- Interoperability: Anyone can export their data for analysis and even use our schemas for building their own apps.\n- Working with our doors open: We welcome anyone interested to use our [open source](https://github.com/neurofusioninc) code or reach out to us for collaboration!\n\n## How far along are we?\n- Launched [mobile app](https://usefusion.ai) on Android and iOS for behavior tracking, integrated with Apple Health and Google Fit.
