Real-time brain monitor wins international AI challenge

An Israeli startup specializing in neurological disorders is the winner of Henry Ford Health System's first-ever artificial intelligence (AI) challenge. Montfort (Mon4T)'s real-time brain monitor leverages smartphone technology to conduct, record and analyze data from a set of digital tests from patients with conditions like Parkinson's disease and normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Henry Ford Innovations, established in 2011 to support the health system's technologies, issued the challenge last fall as part of a program in Israel designed to bring Israeli technologies to the US healthcare market. Montfort was chosen winner out of a pool of 50 applicants. With more than one billion people suffering from neurological diseases worldwide and several thousand patients per neurologist, Montfort's solution developed out of a need for more personal care and feedback.
