Working with modelling and data analysis. Alena (formerly Aya) uses computational neuroscience to deliver tailored mental health solutions. Alena uses neuroscience-based games to assess behaviour and identify thinking patterns that drive key mental health disorders. Using this deeper understanding, Alena suggests the most optimal intervention and dynamically adapts to the user’s changing needs.
