Happy 2020!

2019 was an amazing year of growth for OurBrainBank, and we have even bigger plans for 2020. December marked our UK launch, as well as a record-breaking number of donations. Thank you to our wonderful friends and supporters around the world.

Global expansion continues — researchers in Australia, Italy, and Singapore are interested in using our app in clinical trials or mining our data. More on these developments soon.

Patients and care partners: do you know about our Voices free live video support chats? We had a powerful first UK call and made good connections. You are not alone. Write us at info@ourbrainbank.org to join the next one.

Help us recruit. Please share OurBrainBank.org. We're especially keen on getting more people to join our study in the UK.
