MindMetrix is an ETH spin-off that aims to measure processes of the brain to improve mental wellbeing and to train people's mental strength. The company started with the development and imminent launch of its product myFlow. myFlow is a data-driven neurofeedback training software that provides a measurement of mental training progress specifically for sports professionals and their coaches.
myFlow by MindMetrix offers a novel and reliable neurofeedback modality in combination with an easy-to-use VR-headset with eye-tracking capabilities. Thereby, myFlow is scalable and easily available to large groups of users. myFlow empowers sports professionals and their coaches to obtain and analyse precise data, enabling optimised tracking of mental training progress.
The science basis and technology behind myFlow was originally developed at the Neural Control of Movement (NCM) Lab at ETH Zurich. With the research part covered and a business plan in in place, the team is currently running a large pilot project with the Swiss Federal Institute of Sports in Magglingen to refine their product in the sports market. Additionally, the early alpha version is already open for testing for interested early adopters in the field of sports psychology, mental training and coaching.
The co-founder and CEO Marc Bächinger has a PhD from ETH Zurich and is a former ETH Pioneer Fellow. Marc, together with co-founder Sarah Meissner, CTO, who has a PhD from the University of Düsseldorf and is a recipient of the SNF spark grant, awarded for unconventional projects and promising ideas, are neuroscientists and the brains behind the invention of MindMetrix. They are supported by a great team with strong technical background and business acumen. We strongly believe they have the right profiles to drive the company forward.
And that is why we invested in MindMetrix.
