Mindtrace Technologies, Inc.

Mindtrace Technologies, Inc. is a Pittsburgh-based corporate entity registered in SAM.gov that specializes in developing advanced neurosurgical software platforms utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. The company focuses on creating innovative cognitive dashboards and software solutions designed to support clinical decision-making in neurosurgery, with a particular emphasis on improving surgical planning and predicting post-operative patient outcomes.

Through federal grant awards, primarily from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Mindtrace Technologies has been developing a cloud-based software platform that integrates multiple sources of patient information to enable more effective neurosurgical planning. The company has received three significant Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants totaling approximately $276,000-$1 million, with awards focused on creating a turn-key software solution that supports functional brain mapping protocols, assessment of mental performance, and integration with existing medical imaging systems. These grants have specifically supported the development of a cognitive dashboard that helps neurosurgeons map individual patient brain functions, assess cognitive performance, and potentially simulate expected post-operative cognitive outcomes using AI and machine learning algorithms. The research aims to help surgeons remove brain tumors or treat epilepsy while minimizing potential cognitive deficits, with the ultimate goal of improving patient quality of life and surgical precision.
