Advancing Neuroscience and AI Research
Empowering treatment centers to better serve patients with brain disorders
Brain Rise Foundation Purpose
The primary purpose of this 501(c)(3) non-profit organization is to advance neuroscience and artificial intelligence research to equip frontline treatment centers to better treat patients with substance abuse disorders, mood disorders, PTSD and related brain pathologies.
Neuroscience & AI Insights
Addiction is responsible for 35% of annual deaths in the US.
The social brain can explain 65-75% of addiction relapse after recovery.
The social brain is central to many mood disorders (depression, PTSD)
85% of incarcerated population due to drugs
90% of kids in foster care have a family history of addiction
More than half the US population struggles with loneliness/depression
We need new, innovative solutions to our #1 health crisis!
