neotiv is a lighthouse in the east
The startup neotiv has made it to the list of lighthouses in the east and is therefore according to the business magazine Wirtschaft+Markt one of the 150 most innovative companies in the eastern states of Germany.
The selection was based on surveys and input from, among others, ministries of economics and investment banks.
Cooperation between neotiv and DZNE
The Magdeburg startup neotiv has entered into a long-term cooperation with the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases and will work closely with its scientists in the future. The aim is to strengthen research transfer and to initiateinnovative developments.
Neotiv's team is developing a digital solution for the early detection and follow-up of memory problems. The focus is on the development of mobile software for usage on smartphones and tablets, which should enable the early detection of cognitive difficulties. In addition, it is thus possible to differentiate whether it is age-related forgetfulness or early stages of dementia. By transferring the measurement data from the app to the scientists, it is possible to evaluate the results and observe changes over longer periods of time.
The great advantage is the close and specific examination of abnormailities that allow conclusions to be drawn on the effects of interventions and lifestyle changes. Saxony-Anhalt's Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff sees great potential in the founding: "Only at locations that bring together excellent research and the efficient promotion of founders can such a transfer of research succeed."
Through the longterm cooperation between neotiv and the DZNE, new scientific findings will be used for the further research on cognition and the Alyheimer's disease.
