ATDC Radio: Matt Golden and Stuart Zola with MapHabit

00:00 /

Matt Golden is Co-Founder and CEO of MapHabit.

Stuart Zola is Co-Founder of MapHabit.

Impressive gains in our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have not created therapies that are safe and effective. In March of last year, MapHabit was founded out of a mutual passion to help people with memory impairment live better.

The MapHabitTM System (MHS) is a personalized, mapping software for mobile devices that is safe, noninvasive, and low in cost, which helps memory-impaired individuals and caregivers accomplish activities and improve independent function. The innovative part about MapHabit’s patent-pending process is that it is highly adaptable so that as a person’s cognitive abilities change, the accessibility features also evolve with the individual.

MapHabit’s software is being translated to various languages/cultures and will be potentially used across a myriad of medical conditions spanning AD/related dementias, special needs (developmental and physical disabilities), mental health, physical/occupational therapy, etc.
