BetterBrain – Dementia prevention, covered by insurance
Hey all! I’ve been building BetterBrain for the past few months, which is the first dementia prevention program entirely covered by insurance. BetterBrain combines expert clinicians, comprehensive testing and state of the art AI - and for many insurance plans is $0. Research shows that dementia can be detected up to 20 years in advance. Despite this, many people at risk of dementia overlook regular brain health assessments. Many members of our founding team have family members affected by neurodegenerative disease. We’re also hiring aggressively if anyone is interested in changing the future…

In plain words
BetterBrain is a dementia prevention program that combines clinician expertise, comprehensive testing, and AI technology to detect cognitive decline up to 20 years in advance. Designed for people at risk of dementia, it is covered by insurance with no out-of-pocket cost for many plans. The program addresses a gap in brain health screening, as early detection of dementia is possible but often overlooked by at-risk individuals.

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
