KeyWise AI is a developer of data-driven AI software that turns smartphones into Fitness Trackers for Brain Health.

Our technology is built on a deep foundation of extensive pilot test findings and peer-reviewed publications 1-6, as a result of our ongoing BiAffect open-science project: https://www.biaffect.com. The BiAffect project demonstrated that the way we interact with our smartphone, centered around keyboard dynamics, provides insights into our brain health. Such keyboard interaction dynamics can passively and unobtrusively collect data from our real-world behaviors as they occur in everyday life. Such a continuous pipeline of real-world data can then be used to derive metrics on how our brains are functioning.

Based on decades of research, we aim to give you the most in-depth and comprehensive information about yourself, your relationships and various time periods in your life.

​

We do not make predictions or judgments, but rather provide you with tools that highlight events impacting your life.

​

By better understanding your own strengths and challenges, as well as those of your friends and romantic partners, you will be empowered to make the best choices for yourself.

​

Ideally, what you discover about yourself will reflect things you already know, but may not always trust or accept.

​

We believe that we are all part of a larger pattern, and your very existence is significant.

We hope you enjoy.

"The Creation of Parents Never Give Up was originally designed to be a simple blog page. A space for me to recount my stories and share my heartache, my fears and the lessons I have learned. Since writing my first blog, I have not stopped learning and growing. I have uncovered my passion and purpose in my life and now I live to support other parents who are dealing with children who are choosing to self-harm. I am passionate about no parent having to walk this journey alone. It took me 4 long years to realize the one key part of parenting that I was missing throughout everything that was happening around me. When I realized it, I knew I had hit it on the head because I haven't’ looked back since. I have difficult days and I have painful moments, but I do not live in them like I used to. 

I put my oxygen mask on first and realized-- that if I did not start taking care of my own health immediately, I was not going to be around to help any of my children. That simple." - Janet Taylor
