How it Works

The Circl headset is a wearable technology and app that allows you to track your brain’s performance and health. To measure your brain, you simply wear the headset for a few minutes as you play a game on the Circl app. While you are playing the game, the headset will record your brainwave data. The app then shows how your brain is currently performing, and how your brain function is changing over time as you do more tests. Based on this data, you can make adjustments in your approach to staying healthy to get the most out of your brain.

Acute Concern, Universal Need.

Concussion, burnout and PTSD rates are surging among first responders, healthcare workers, and military personnel.

Circl is on a mission to protect the brain health of professionals who have a known elevated risk of neurological injury due to work demands.

You can’t manage what you don’t measure.

Circl is a pioneer of mobile neurotechnology that makes it easy for you to know the relative strength of your brain performance ahead of a workday.

Wearables.

Wearables are popular as personal devices and increasingly commonplace in the workplace. Unlike other devices which are worn throughout the day, brainwave measurement with the Circl headset takes a few minutes.

Improve Personal and Organizational Resilience.

The Circl headset and app are protective of personal health. It provides valuable insight into actual brain performance, signaling when trends turn negative and need attention. Prevention reduces presenteeism and absenteeism rates to improve organizational resilience and effectiveness.

Brain measurement science.

Our brains constantly evaluate visual stimuli as we perceive the world around us. As the brain perceives visual information, it produces what clinicians and scientists call a visually evoked potential (VEP). This robust and repeatable change in brain activity is the proven scientific standard for the measurement of cognitive health and performance.

Circl uses VEPs to calculate brain health.

VEP simulation.

The embedded animation is a simulation of a VEP test. This example is provided for illustration purposes only. Actual testing is structured as a series of 1-minute mini-sessions.

Test scores are analyzed and delivered instantly, they include:

Brain Score measures “cognitive energy” and the ability to process information.
Brain Rank compares a personal score to everyone else in a cohort.
Power calculates how many brain cells are firing in synchrony to process visual stimuli.
Reaction measures brain speed— how fast it recognizes and processes what the eye sees.
Brainwave Response charts brainwaves in response to visual information.

Brain function and training: An under-appreciated connection.

First responder, healthcare and military organizations are committed to the highest standard of professional conduct. Training is central to their respective missions. Good decision making and quick reaction times in dynamic situations are key attributes of frontline personnel. These desirable traits directly relate to brain function.

Training and brain function are determinants of incident outcomes and as such they are mission critical.

A case in point.

Annual spend on police training in Canada: $1B CDN
Reported officer burnout rate, department average: 35%
Annual training spend negated by poor brain health: $350M

Protect your training investment with routine brain health measurements of front line personnel.

Annual training spend and burnout rates may change by location or industry, but the problem is persistent across the world.

The background stress of suffering a concussion, burnout, or PTSD at work is more than a personal health challenge; these conditions also affect team performance and organizational effectiveness.

When leadership builds a culture of health and performance everyone wins.

A different kind of plan.

Circl has a different kind of plan for any organization that wishes to implement a “better brain” initiative. Contact us to learn more about our service options for your team or organization.
