About

one story
million of 
lives.

It was one story, out of the thousands of testimonials that there are, that triggered Braining. But this story is not unique; it didn't just happen once, it happens every day.

Braining is here to make sure no-one feels alone; no-one feels abandoned; no-one feels mistreated. We are here to make sure stroke survivors can get their independence back.

 

our story

Our journey began in the most unexpected of places: a physiology class. Nuno Almeida, found himself immersed in a study case that would change the course of his life. The story highlighted a stroke survivor who made a remarkable recovery, thanks to the unwavering support of his son. This poignant encounter sparked Nuno's curiosity about the existing gaps in stroke rehabilitation and care.

 

Driven by a passion to make a difference, Nuno shared his thoughts with João Ribeiro, founding Braining. Together, they delved deeper into the world of stroke care, discovering a disheartening reality - many patients lacked coherent support, and their rehabilitation often faced insurmountable challenges from the outset.

As the duo pondered on how to bridge this gap, they recognized the transformative potential of virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The idea of creating a platform that offered personalized, consistent, independent, and immersive rehabilitation solutions became their mission.​ Realizing the need for a skilled and diverse team to bring their vision to life, Nuno and João joined forces with David Rodrigues as our Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Joana Sousa as Chief Data and Analytics Officer (CDAO) and Joana Santos as Head of Finance and External Relations. Our team is a dynamic fusion of expertise in AI, programming, and administration, each member bringing a unique set of skills and experiences to the table. Together, we embarked on the journey to make Braining a reality - a platform that goes beyond traditional stroke care, offering a lifeline to those in need.​ At Braining, we believe in the power of technology to create positive, lasting impacts on people's lives. Join us as we continue to innovate, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in stroke rehabilitation and care. Together, we can build a future where every stroke survivor receives the support they deserve on their path to recovery.
