The HumanX Lab for Cognitive Performance and Longevity designs, builds, and validates next-generation AI-powered wearables and sensory systems that improve healthcare outcomes, extend longevity, and elevate human performance.
Our research is organized around six key focus areas where we combine sensing, stimulation, and AI-driven approaches to develop rigorous and impactful solutions.
Adaptive systems that respond to individual needs and contexts, making technology feel natural, supportive, and seamlessly woven into everyday life.
Objective, validated, wearable-friendly measures of cognitive states such as focus, attention, and mental health that regulators and researchers can adopt broadly.
Agentic systems that adapt recommendations based on personal data, life context, and evolving user needs for deeply personalized health guidance.
Safe, effective ways to influence cognitive states without drugs using sound, light, vibration, and other non-invasive stimuli.
Ultra-low-power, privacy-preserving architectures that enable healthcare wearables to operate efficiently without constant cloud reliance.
Pipelines that automate the collection of rich, human-centered data for AI, healthcare, and drug trials, reducing costs while increasing quality.
From foundational science to deployed systems, our work spans the full pipeline from invention to adoption.
AI-powered wearable platform for real-time nightmare detection and intervention during sleep.
Continuous maternal and fetal health monitoring wearable for early risk detection and remote prenatal care.
Exploring brain organoid-based biological computers for advanced neuromorphic industrial applications.
A lightweight, low-cost in-ear sensing platform for automatic whole-night sleep stage monitoring with clinical-grade accuracy.
A wearable system for frequent and comfortable blood pressure monitoring from the user's ear.
Behind-the-ear wearable system for detecting microsleep events, targeting drowsy driving prevention.
Our research translates directly into products and companies that reach real users worldwide.
