What Problem We are Solving

Problem
Parkinson’s clinical trials are currently blind to 99.9% of a patient’s daily experience. This missing data leads to frustrated patients, overwhelmed caregivers, and stalled research progress. Researchers rely heavily on fragmented, self-reported, or external symptom data, leaving the internal realities of the disease invisible. This causes delays in clinical trials, inconclusive results, and a slower path to better therapies.

About Us

About Us
We are developing NeuroClear ProPark, a wearable device that revolutionizes how Parkinson’s disease is monitored in clinical trials. Unlike conventional wearables that track only external symptoms like tremors or gait changes, our device goes deeper, capturing real-time biological activity through the skin. This provides researchers with a continuous, objective view of disease progression and treatment response in everyday life. Our initial focus is the $60M Parkinson’s clinical trial market, targeting a $3–4M revenue opportunity in year one. We’ve already secured over $100K in non-dilutive and investor funding, validated our prototype, and filed for patent protection. Next, we’re preparing for FDA regulatory approval and peer-reviewed publication to solidify our scientific and clinical standing. MindMend began from a deeply personal place, watching Parkinson’s impact my own family. Today, we’re building a future where every trial captures the full picture, and families get the answers they deserve. We’re currently raising $500,000 to complete expanded testing, publish our findings, and begin FDA approval.

Venture Highlights

Highlights
We received a $60,000 North Dakota BIG grant in our first year, one of the state’s most competitive R&D grants. We raised $45,000 in investment capital and built and validated a fully functional prototype of our NeuroClear ProPark wearable within 12 months of founding. We secured a full utility patent protecting our novel method for capturing real-time biological data in Parkinson’s patients.

We became the first student-founded and student-owned biotech startup in the University of North Dakota’s Biomedical Engineering department, setting a precedent for future student innovators. We also completed customer discovery through the NSF I-Corps program, speaking directly with researchers and clinicians to validate the need for our product. In addition, we were awarded $10,000 from the UND Runway Accelerator to support our commercialization efforts.

All of this progress was achieved in our first year of operation, demonstrating rapid execution and strong market alignment.

Business Model

Business Model
MindMend is currently pre-revenue and focused on product development, clinical validation, and regulatory preparation. Our business model is designed for future revenue generation through B2B sales to organizations running Parkinson’s clinical trials, including contract research organizations (CROs), pharmaceutical companies, and academic institutions.

Once regulatory clearance is achieved, we will sell our NeuroClear ProPark device and accompanying data analytics platform on a per-patient, per-trial basis. This model includes both hardware and a recurring software subscription, allowing research teams to access real-time biological data and insights that improve trial outcomes.

Customers will return because our solution fills a critical data gap in Parkinson’s research. Unlike current wearables that only monitor external symptoms, our device captures internal biological signals, offering more comprehensive, objective data that can accelerate trial timelines and improve therapeutic accuracy.

Competitive Advantage

Quote
MindMend stands out by offering a level of insight that current Parkinson’s monitoring technologies simply can’t provide. While existing wearables focus only on external symptoms like tremors or gait changes, our device goes deeper, capturing real-time biological data through the skin. This allows researchers to see how the disease is progressing internally and how patients are responding to treatments throughout their daily lives.

We are the only solution in this space combining continuous, internal biological monitoring with user-friendly, trial-ready hardware. Our IP-protected technology gives us a strong defensible position, and our early traction, grants, investment, prototype validation, and regulatory planning, shows both demand and feasibility.

Our academic origin also gives us access to key research partnerships and first-hand insights into the clinical trial process. This enables us to design a product that fits seamlessly into the workflow of trial administrators, making it easier to adopt, use, and scale.

Go-To Market Strategy

Business Strategy
MindMend’s go-to-market strategy is focused, phased, and relationship-driven. Our initial target market is Parkinson’s clinical trials managed by top-tier contract research organizations (CROs), pharmaceutical sponsors, and academic research institutions. These groups already outsource data collection tools and are actively seeking ways to improve trial efficiency and data quality.

We will begin by partnering with a select group of research organizations to run pilot studies using our device. These pilots will generate clinical validation data, user feedback, and published results to support regulatory approval and strengthen our market credibility.

Following FDA clearance, we will launch commercially with these same early adopters, organizations already familiar with our technology and invested in our success. We will use direct sales and strategic relationships, starting with six CROs that manage one-third of all Parkinson’s trials, representing an $18 million serviceable available market.

Over time, we will expand to additional trial sponsors and other neurodegenerative disease markets, leveraging our proven platform to serve broader research needs.

By starting with a narrow, high-value segment and growing through validated outcomes and strong partnerships, we are building a scalable and capital-efficient path to market.

Competitive Analysis

Competitive Analysys
Kinesia focuses exclusively on external symptom monitoring. MindMend goes further by capturing internal biological signals through the skin, offering deeper insight into how the disease progresses and how treatments affect the body in real time. This makes our data more comprehensive and valuable for clinical trials.


While Verily’s Study Watch captures some passive physiological data (like heart rate), it is not purpose-built for Parkinson's clinical trials and lacks the direct biological sensing capabilities MindMend provides. Our device is specifically designed to track disease progression in trial settings, providing trial-ready data outputs that integrate with researcher workflows.
