ABOUT US
Our Mission
Improving the health of patients who suffer from neurological disorders. By applying an inclusive and personal monitor we make the treatment of neurological disorders more efficient, and personalized for each patient.
Our Product
Montfort leverages smartphone’s integral sensors, in order to provide a digital version for standard neurological tests. These tests are Personal, Real-time, Inexpensive, and can be conducted by anyone, anywhere.
Our Market
Physicians use our Clinic version and pay-per-test. Patients use the Home version and pay-per-month. Our products can be embedded into the products of pharma industry, medical devices manufacturers, and HMO’s, using SAAS.
WHY
“The first time I faced the impact of neurological disorders was when my legendary high-school math teacher, Yair Cohen, was diagnosed with ALS. I have met him several times during his last years, witnessing the sad decline of a brilliant, humorous and adventurous person I admired. Yair’s life has strengthen my inclination towards engineering, his death got me interested in neurophysiology. Contemplating between the two, I ended up studying both, believing that many patients can be helped by linking between these two disciplines.”
Ziv Yekutieli, PhD, CEO
Over one billion people suffer from neurological disorders, with few professionals to diagnose and treat them. Currently, there are two main alternatives for neurological evaluation: Either the physician conducts a test in the clinic, which is subjective and not quantitative, or the subject is sent to a special laboratory. Using these special labs increases the evaluation costs and delays the time for obtaining the results, often making them no longer relevant. As a result, and due to the fact that these labs are rare, few patients are properly evaluated, thus delaying the detection and diagnostics. We offer physicians an accessible and digital test platform, turning any office into a lab. Evaluating the subject at a random time in the clinic does not represent the actual status of the patient in his\her daily life, so physicians need to relay upon the subject’s self-report, which is also subjective. We offer a platform for sampling the subject during his\her regular activity, thus filling in this gap. The collective data which we provide in a standard manner, is making clinical research simpler, allowing to use samples collected by anyone, anywhere.
HOW IT WORKS
EncephaLog is a mobile app that provides a digital version for standard neurological tests. EncephaLog handles the test protocol, uses the smartphone integral sensors in order to record the test, and sends the raw date to the cloud. Our proprietary algorithms then analyze the raw data and extract the needed biomarkers, accessible from the physician dashboard. EncephaLog is used for monitoring the patient at the clinic, Heed is used for monitoring the patient at home. Learn more

Testimonials
Professor Sharon Hassin-Baer, Director - Movement Disorders Institute, Sheba Medical Center
“For the last two years, physicians in our institute are using Montfort’s app. It is easy to use and informative. The app provides indicators that are unrecognized and unquantified by standard neurological tests, thus helping us in diagnosis and monitoring neurological conditions”
Dr. Orit Elion - The Department of Physiotherapy, Ariel University
“…a smartphone is attached to the body with a velcro strap enables dynamic and easy continuous measurements. The interface, I find, user friendly – encountered no problems. Data- wise, I am very happy with the ability to customize the data processing along with my needs.”
