About

Augnition Labs was launched in 2020 with the mission of developing AI-powered digital assessment and monitoring solutions for early detection of cognitive decline.

As the world’s population continues to age, the number of people living with dementia is expected to rise to more than 153 million by 2050.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. It is a progressive neurological illness, beginning with memory loss and leading to compromised thinking, language and decision making.

Memory Loss comes first.

As the search continues for successful therapies that treat or prevent Alzheimer’s disease, one thing is certain – sensitive detection of the disease’s earliest symptoms is key to effective intervention.

Augmem™ is an innovative, AI-powered digital cognitive assessment tool that enables rapid, reliable and objective detection of memory loss years in advance. Read more about the science.

Why Does Augmem™ Matter to Clinical Trials and Research?

Augmem™ provides precise and accurate tracking of memory performance. Our leading technology is a world leader in screening, stratification, monitoring, and evaluation of treatment response.

Why Does Augmem™ Matter to Healthcare Professionals?

Augmem™ detects subtle shifts in memory, before the onset of clinical symptoms. Our precision tools enable earlier detection, leading to better outcomes, lower costs and prolonged quality of life. ​
