Summary
Brooklyn Health has secured $6.5 million in seed funding led by HealthX, with participation from several venture firms, to improve mental health assessments in clinical trials. The company aims to address the limitations of traditional subjective measures by utilizing its electronic clinical outcome assessment platform, Willis, which leverages digital phenotyping to collect real-time data from personal devices. Willis consists of three components to enhance assessment accuracy and standardization. The funding will support team expansion, enhance platform capabilities, and facilitate commercial deployment with pharmaceutical partners, underscoring the need for more reliable treatment efficacy measures in neuroscience research.
