Early detection of Alzheimer's disease

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a quantitative virtual microscopy platform that detects early Alzheimer's from standard MRI scans. It analyzes subtle brain changes non-invasively and produces objective biomarkers doctors can use before symptoms appear.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in San Francisco, CA, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is a hub for AI and healthcare technology talent and investors. It gives us access to partners and clinical collaborators we need to advance our product.
