One cognitive infrastructure. Many national priorities.

CogniFit proposes that Brazil build one integrated cognitive health and human performance infrastructure, combining scientifically grounded assessment, personalized training, longitudinal monitoring and Brazilian-led research. Each ministry would adopt specialized modules on that shared foundation instead of buying a separate system for each program.

ministries mapped, from health and education to transport and public administration.

application sectors that run from childhood to older adulthood.

proposed research workstreams for Brazilian norms, validation and cognitive AI.

Cognitive assessment, brain-health programs, educational interventions, workforce development and cognitive research are often handled through separate technologies and initiatives.

Brazil can explore a coordinated approach. One adaptable technology foundation would serve different public institutions and support national scientific development.

The value is not any single cognitive test or brain-training game. It is the combination of assessment, personalized intervention, monitoring, research and institutional integration within one ecosystem.

Integrated capabilities
A common technology ecosystem for assessment, training, monitoring and research.
Scalable deployment
Existing software infrastructure that can be integrated into institutional workflows.
Brazilian innovation
Adaptation, localization, scientific validation and dedicated technology development.
Long-term value
An extensible national capability rather than isolated applications.

Built on science. Ready for institutional scale.

CogniFit provides digital cognitive assessment and personalized cognitive training for individuals, families, healthcare professionals, researchers, educators and organizations. Brazil would build on what already exists and what has already been studied.

Evidence you can examine, study by study

CogniFit keeps a public catalogue of published research on its technology. It covers healthy aging, cognitive assessment, clinical populations, education and computerized cognitive training. The study designs include randomized studies, validation studies, observational research, reviews and other scholarly work, carried out with an international network of scientific collaborators.³

This experience across many populations and applications is a base for further independent evaluation, including in Brazil.

The evidence base includes studies with varying methodologies and findings. Clinical and institutional benefits must be evaluated for each intended application and target population.

A national cognitive vital sign

A proposed vision: make cognitive health more measurable, understandable and actionable in appropriate healthcare, research and development settings. It is not an officially recognized clinical vital sign, and it is not a validated diagnostic standard.

The Digital Cognitive Twin

A future research direction in which longitudinal cognitive data and personalized models could support more individualized insights and recommendations. It is a research ambition, kept separate from clinically validated production capabilities.

Brazil can move from consuming cognitive technology to contributing to the next generation of cognitive science and digital health innovation.

Two paths to a national cognitive technology initiative

2partnership models, each starting from a jointly defined plan

Discuss which model fits

Option A brings CogniFit's existing platform to Brazil. Option B combines that platform with Brazilian investment and talent to build a dedicated national capability. Both include research. Neither is automatically available through direct procurement.

Option A: Deploy CogniFit across Brazil

Speed up access to digital cognitive assessment, personalized training and monitoring through a coordinated deployment of CogniFit's existing platform.

Speed up implementation on an existing technology foundation.

Commercial characteristics

Based mainly on existing technology
Less initial product development than Option B
Suited to progressive institutional expansion
Can begin with defined pilot programs
Licensing, implementation and support terms to be negotiated

Deployment follows integration and regulatory analysis. It is not immediate.

Option B: Build a Brazilian cognitive technology platform

A long-term strategic investment and R&D partnership to create a dedicated Brazilian cognitive technology ecosystem. It would build on CogniFit's existing scientific foundation, intellectual property and digital infrastructure, with significant national investment supporting the dedicated platform.

A dedicated Brazilian innovation capability built on an established scientific and technological foundation.

CogniFit's pre-existing intellectual property, which remains CogniFit's
New development funded by Brazil
Licensing rights
Data ownership and stewardship
Technology access and governance
Commercial and territorial rights, where relevant
Maintenance and long-term support

Option B does not transfer CogniFit's existing IP as a whole, nor does it automatically give Brazil ownership of all the technology.

Pricing and investment: to be defined through a jointly agreed technical, scientific, financial and implementation plan.

The two models side by side

Dimension	Option A: national deployment	Option B: CogniFit Brazil
Core approach	Deploy existing CogniFit	Jointly develop CogniFit Brazil
Product development	Limited adaptations	Significant dedicated development
Localization	Portuguese and institutional	Deep Brazilian product adaptation
Research	Defined collaborative studies	Dedicated long-term R&D program
Local scientific assets	Project-specific	Expanded Brazilian research infrastructure

Data architecture	Specific to each deployment	National governance designed into the architecture
Integration	Existing APIs plus adaptations	Bespoke integrations where needed
Investment nature	Licensing and implementation	Technology development and long-term partnership
Long-term outcome	National deployment	Dedicated Brazilian technology ecosystem

Option A brings existing technology to Brazil. Option B combines that technology with Brazilian investment and talent to develop a dedicated national capability.

Any public-sector partnership, contract or procurement procedure would be subject to applicable Brazilian law, including Lei nº 14.133/2021, to independent technical and legal review, and to the required approvals.⁵

Success defined by measurable outcomes

Each dimension would get indicators agreed before the pilots start. None of these outcomes is assumed in advance.

Access

Individuals reached, participating institutions, regional reach, demographic coverage, digital inclusion.

Engagement

Enrollment, active users, completion, frequency of participation, retention.

Cognitive outcomes

Validated cognitive assessment measures, longitudinal change, study endpoints for each intervention, psychometric reliability, results for each population.

Institutional outcomes

Educational program endpoints, professional training indicators, implementation quality, healthcare workflow measures, user and professional satisfaction.

Economic value

Cost per participant, cost per completed program, administrative effort, cost-effectiveness, financial value assessed independently.

A national initiative should be measured not only by the technology it deploys, but by the outcomes it can demonstrate.

Why an integrated technology partner matters

Buying separate assessment, training, monitoring and research systems for each program fragments data and effort. CogniFit lets Brazil combine existing cognitive technology with a coordinated national innovation program, so it does not have to build an independent cognitive system for each public-sector application.

A coherent platform architecture
Existing proprietary technology components
Assessment and training integrated with each other
Consistent cognitive data models
Longitudinal measurement
International scientific experience
Applications for many institutions
Shared infrastructure and integration interfaces
Research opportunities across sectors
A defined route toward local technology development

In a technical evaluation, product integration and scientific expertise may carry weight. They do not rule out competition, and other providers can be assessed on the same criteria.

Procurement integrity. Any public-sector partnership, contractual structure or procurement procedure would be subject to applicable Brazilian law, independent technical and legal review, and the required approvals. This page does not suggest that direct procurement is automatically permitted.⁵

CogniFit's strategic proposition is the integration of complementary cognitive technologies within one adaptable platform, backed by its scientific foundation and the potential for dedicated Brazilian innovation.

Designed for scientific credibility and responsible deployment

Four commitments would frame every phase, in both models.

A precise U.S. device record

CAB PRO, CogniFit's professional assessment battery, has a documented FDA device listing under the Class II product code PTY, "computerized cognitive assessment aid, exempt".¹ This is not FDA approval, and it does not extend to the rest of the platform.

A defined regulatory workstream for Brazil

The partnership would assess the applicable Brazilian regulatory requirements and set a pathway toward ANVISA regularization for any software function classified as a medical device, under RDC nº 657/2022.⁴ Wellness software and medical-device software can be treated differently depending on intended use. CogniFit does not claim ANVISA registration today.

Brazilian data protection and governance

Designed under Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD, Lei nº 13.709/2018):⁶

Personal data protection
Sensitive health data
Protection of children's data
Defined processing roles
An appropriate legal basis
Data security
Access controls
Data governance
Retention and deletion
Cross-border transfers where applicable

Where data is stored would be set in each project's architecture and contract.

Responsible use

Human professional oversight
Appropriate clinical interpretation
Scientific validation
Transparent AI systems
Safeguards for research participants
Limits on automated employment and other high-stakes decisions
Respect for each device's intended use

CogniFit's professional tools support cognitive assessment and monitoring. They never replace clinical judgment, an evaluation or a diagnosis.

Questions decision-makers ask

What makes CogniFit different from individual assessment or training providers?

CogniFit combines cognitive assessment, personalized training, longitudinal monitoring, professional tools, research infrastructure and integration options in one ecosystem. Institutions can share one foundation instead of buying separate systems for each program. See CogniFit's cognitive assessments for the existing assessment offering.

Is CogniFit scientifically validated?

CogniFit keeps a public catalogue of published research. The studies use different designs, including randomized, validation and observational studies and reviews, and they report varying findings. No single label covers every use: benefits must be evaluated for each application and each population. Local validation in Brazil is part of the proposal.

Is CogniFit FDA approved?

No. CAB PRO, CogniFit's professional cognitive assessment battery, has a documented FDA device listing and falls under the Class II exempt product code PTY, computerized cognitive assessment aid. That is not FDA approval, and it does not apply to the whole platform, the training exercises or any future Brazilian product.

Can CogniFit treat Alzheimer's disease, depression or autism?

No. CogniFit does not diagnose or treat any condition on its own. The applications proposed for specific conditions concern assessment support for professionals, general cognitive wellness, or ethically approved research on related cognitive functions.

Does the platform already have ANVISA registration?

CogniFit does not claim any ANVISA registration. The partnership would include a regulatory assessment and, for any software function classified as a medical device, a pathway toward ANVISA regularization under RDC nº 657/2022.

How would CogniFit integrate with Brazilian institutions?

Through existing APIs and SDKs, Portuguese localization and adaptation to approved government digital services. Each integration needs its own technical and security evaluation. Healthcare teams can see the existing CogniFit platform for healthcare professionals.

What is the difference between national deployment and CogniFit Brazil?

Option A deploys and adapts the existing platform through licensing and implementation, with defined collaborative studies. Option B adds significant dedicated development, a long-term Brazilian R&D program and national data governance built into the architecture. Pre-existing and new intellectual property are clearly separated.

How would Brazilian citizens' data be protected?

Through a project-specific data architecture designed under the LGPD. It would cover purpose limitation, an appropriate legal basis, role-based access, auditing, retention and deletion rules, special protection for minors and health data, and governed cross-border transfers where applicable.

How would Brazil's universities and researchers take part?

Through the proposed research and innovation program: local validation studies, Brazilian reference norms, collaborative projects, joint publications and researcher training. Every study would follow ethics approval and consent requirements.

How would the program's effectiveness be measured?

Baseline measures and pre-specified outcomes in each pilot protocol, independent evaluation where possible, and expansion only of programs that demonstrate value on access, engagement, cognitive, institutional and economic indicators.

Brazil can help shape the next generation of cognitive health and innovation

CogniFit brings existing technology, scientific experience and an international research network. Brazil brings institutional scale, research talent and the ambition to build a dedicated national capability.
