In addition to existing investors re-joining, the round includes tickets from European tech and healthcare investors Meerkat Holding (Germany) and Excellis (Italy), as well as from Piero Novelli (Independent Chairman Euronext, ex-UBS).

A model that estimates chronological age from smartphone behaviour predicts advanced aging in patients with stroke and epilepsy showing the potential of smartphone-based models of healthy behavior for helping understand aging in diseases.

New study shows that smartphone usage dynamics reflect the performance of healthy individuals in cognitive tests and age.

QuantActions re-incorporated as Ltd (AG) company, moves domicile to Zurich and closes pre-seed financing with group of investors including Plug and Play Germany.

News: QuantActions featured in The Guardian as a leader in the field of digital phenotyping.

Study compares QuantActions technology and other sensors for sleep tracking, shows that tap-data can improve accuracy of other sensors.

Using QuantActions technology, it was shown that social activity is strongly associated with the release of the important neurotransmitter dopamine, which opens up the potential for using behavioral data from smartphone use for mental health.

First results from epilepsy patients at Yale University, showing that QuantActions technology can detect small abnormal neural events typically associated with seizures.

Study looks at mood and health changes following COVID-19 lockdown and reopening. Using QuantActions technology, the authors were able to show that reopening results in shorter and earlier sleep as well as increased physical activity but also increased stress.

Smartphone-based data shows large cognitive fluctuations surrounding sleep, and showing that QuantActions technology is a sensitive tool to measure long-term cognitive activity.

Study models smartphone behaviour and shows that QuantActions technology is able to reveal data patterns spanning multiple time-scales, a key step towards the development of novel cognitive measures based on smartphone data.

Researchers in Denmark and Netherlands studying stroke begin exploring the use of QuantActions technology for monitoring patients.

Database reaches 1000+ users with long-term data from R&D settings.

Smartphone-based tap data monitors brain recovery progress in patients after neuro-surgery. Status: In review.

Study shows how QuantActions technology can be used to track sleep with equal and sometimes greater accuracy than traditional actigraphy.

Completed SDK to allow data collection on third-party apps.

First paying customers (R&D clients) who subscribe to QuantActions’ data services for dedicated research programs in neurology.

Established fully operational cloud-based infrastructure, including QuantActions’ proprietary “Taps Intelligence Engine” (version 1.0) for generating insights from raw tap data.

Study uses QuantActions technology to explore properties of the brain’s motor system and suggests that digital behaviour may be used to generate insights into neurological health.

Established metrics for sleep

Study uses QuantActions technology to investigate how people gather and share information on smartphones and this can be used to detect changes in cognitive and behavioural performance.

Exclusive licensing agreement with University of Zurich

Launch of “TapCounter”, QuantActions’ R&D app for continuous and passive smartphone-based data collection

QuantActions incorporated as spinoff from University of Zurich, with domicile at EPFL campus in Lausanne (due to relationships and science synergies)

News: Smartphone use changes our brain and thumb interaction and is an ideal way to explore the everyday plasticity of the human brain.

Study shows that brain representation of hand movements is shaped by smartphone use, opening the possibility to use smartphone usage patterns from QuantActions technology as a tool to gain insights into brain activity and plasticity.

News: Our brains are being 'continuously reshaped' by smartphone use, the use of the smartphone carries a lot of information about our brain so much so that our brain is allocating more resources to the physical and cognitive processes involved in the use of our devices.

News: Using a smartphone regularly is similar to playing the violin. Scientists find that proficiency in the use of the smartphone does not depend on the amount of time spent with it but depends on the amount of time that has passed since the last use.

Research project at University Zurich led by QuantActions co-founder Dr. Arko Ghosh in collaboration with researchers at University of Fribourg launches, studying the links between smartphone behavioral logs and brain activity.
