We’re excited to spotlight BioChallenge finalist JuneBrain Inc., a trailblazing startup transforming how we detect and monitor brain health.
Their Neuro‑i platform uses high‑resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) and AI analytics to capture retinal biomarkers of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. This innovation enables earlier detection and monitoring of conditions like multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease—bringing eye and brain health closer together.

Founder and CEO Samantha Scott, PhD shared:
“BioChallenge is meaningful to me because it reflects what drives my team at JuneBrain — making innovative neurotechnologies accessible to every community. As a neuroscientist and a disabled founder, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be for people to access advanced care. It’s inspiring to be part of a program that supports startups working to bring these technologies to the communities that need them most.”

We’re proud to support JuneBrain in advancing accessible, AI‑driven tools that redefine the future of neurological care!
