Index HealthTech develops passive, contactless monitoring infrastructure that detects functional decline and physiological drift before adverse health events occur—without wearables, cameras, or subject compliance. The company’s patent-pending Sense™ platform uses mmWave radar and far-field acoustics to continuously measure respiration, mobility, sleep, gait, and behavioral patterns across six domains. These signals are translated into the Healthy Habits Index™ (HHI™), a 0–100 behavioral biomarker that quantifies functional status and change over time. At the system level, Index HealthTech models individual trajectories to identify early-stage decline patterns before they become clinical events or mission-limiting conditions—enabling intervention during the narrow window where outcomes can still be altered. The platform is designed for environments where traditional monitoring fails: uncontrolled living spaces, high-throughput care settings, and operational environments where compliance-dependent tools are impractical. It requires no physical contact, no per-user calibration, and no behavioral change from the monitored individual. Backed by over $5M in NIH and NIA funding, Index HealthTech is advancing a new class of continuous behavioral biomarkers with direct application to warfighter health monitoring, veteran care, traumatic brain injury recovery, PTSD-related behavioral drift, and post-deployment readiness assessment.
