OpenRatio - AI for Neurology

AI for Neurology. Built for Everyone.

From portable EEG analysis for epilepsy to wearable-based monitoring for movement disorders, OpenRatio is building AI tools that make advanced neurological care accessible anywhere.

Health Impact

1 in 3 People worldwide will experience a neurological disorder in their lifetime. (WHO, 2024)
3.4B+ Living with neurological conditions — the leading cause of disability and poor health globally. (Lancet Neurology, 2024)
80% Of neurological deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. (GBD Study, 2021)
~40% Of the global neurological burden comes from stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson's, essential tremor, MS, and Alzheimer's combined. (WHO / WSO / ADI, 2023)
55M People live with dementia, with 10M new cases every year. (WHO, 2023)
2.8M People live with multiple sclerosis globally, with high care costs and productivity loss. (MSIF, 2023)
>50% Of survivors of major neurological events live with long-term disability affecting independence and work. (WHO / WSO, 2023)
+60% Projected growth in neurological disease cases by 2050, driven by aging populations. (Lancet Public Health, 2025)

Economic Impact

$1.7T/year Global direct healthcare spending on neurological disorders. (Lancet Public Health, 2025)
$2.8T/year by 2050 Projected worldwide cost of dementia (up from $1.3T today). (Alzheimer's Disease International, 2023)
€798B/year Cost of brain disorders in Europe; over half from lost productivity. (European Brain Council, 2024)
$891B/year Global cost of stroke; $475B in care, $416B in lost productivity. (World Stroke Organization, 2021)
$119B/year Global cost of epilepsy. (WHO / Epilepsy Atlas, 2023)
$85B/year Estimated economic burden of multiple sclerosis. (National MS Society, 2022)
$22K/year per patient Average additional annual cost of living with Parkinson's. (Parkinson's Foundation, 2024)
Up to 60% Of neurological disease costs are indirect (lost wages, early retirement, informal care). (European Brain Council, 2024)

Who We Are

We are builders, technologists, product designers, operators, patients, doctors, and scientists united by a shared belief:

Neurological care should be timely, accessible, and data-driven - no matter where you live.

Our diverse perspectives give us the empathy to see the patient's journey, the skill to design powerful AI tools, and the determination to bring them into everyday clinical practice.

Why OpenRatio

Neurological care is built on precision - ratios in brain activity, blood flow, and motor function guide diagnosis and treatment.

Yet across the world, the ratio of need to access is unbalanced: billions live with neurological conditions, but data is fragmented, tools are siloed, and specialists are scarce. OpenRatio was founded to restore that balance.

Open

We build open standards, shared data tools, and transparent AI to bridge gaps between regions, hospitals, and researchers.

Ratio

We turn complex neurological data into clear, actionable measures that empower faster, more accurate decisions.

From rural clinics to advanced research centers, our mission is simple: make world-class neurological insights available anywhere, for everyone.

The Challenge

Stroke, epilepsy, essential tremor, and Parkinson's disease affect millions globally.

We build AI tools to change that - making diagnosis faster, more accurate, and more accessible everywhere.

Our Approach

Human-AI Collaboration

AI systems that work with neurologists, delivering faster, explainable insights so they can focus on patients.

NeuroLex - Neurology's Rosetta Stone

A universal interoperability standard for EEG, imaging, wearable, and clinical data. NeuroLex translates between systems, formats, platforms, and regions so results are consistent, comparable, and AI-ready anywhere in the world.

Built for Any Clinic

Low-cost hardware, offline capability, and simple interfaces make our tools usable in both resource-limited environments and advanced hospitals.

How We Build

Why It Works Globally

In underserved regions: Our tools close gaps in access and specialist availability.

In advanced health systems: Our standards unlock collaboration and accelerate research.

Everywhere: The technology speaks the same language through NeuroLex.

Open Research, Responsible Release

We share datasets, preprocessing tools, and terminology standards openly. Advanced models are released with safeguards to prevent misuse and ensure safety.
