BBitsphi
Bitsphi (Bitsphi Diagnosis) is a Madrid-based neurotechnology startup developing EEG-based diagnostic tools that use brain connectivity patterns and machine learning to aid clinicians in diagnosing ADHD, with plans to expand into other cognitive and mental health conditions. Founded in 2021 out of collaboration with the Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience Laboratory (UCM), it runs clinical trials with Madrid hospital networks and holds Spain's "PYME Innovadora" certification. Backed by Bullnet Capital and CDTI's Innvierte program, with EU NextGenerationEU support.
