HAPPYneuron

HAPPYneuron Inc. operates at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and digital therapeutics, providing scientifically-based programs for brain fitness and cognitive rehabilitation. Founded in 2000, the company's genesis is rooted in the work of a collective of French experts, including neurologist and neuropsychologist Dr. Bernard Croisile, educational sciences expert Dr. Michel Noir, and computer science professor Dr. Franck Tarpin-Bernard. Dr. Croisile's extensive research in aging and cognition, combined with Dr. Noir's focus on educational theory and Dr. Tarpin-Bernard's technical expertise in translating scientific concepts into engaging software, formed the foundation of the company. The firm is a majority-owned subsidiary of Scientific Brain Training (SBT Group), which later evolved into Humans Matter.

The company's business model centers on two primary offerings: a direct-to-consumer platform, MyHappyNeuron, and a professional tool, HAPPYneuron Pro. MyHappyNeuron provides individuals with a subscription-based, personalized brain training program designed to challenge and strengthen cognitive abilities through a variety of games and exercises. Revenue is generated from these consumer subscriptions, which include features like performance tracking and personalized coaching guidance. The HAPPYneuron Pro platform is a more robust, subscription-based service targeting healthcare professionals such as speech therapists, occupational therapists, neuropsychologists, and clinicians in various fields. This B2B offering equips clinicians with tools for cognitive remediation and rehabilitation to manage and treat patients with conditions like traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, learning disabilities, and neurodegenerative diseases. The platform's value proposition for clinicians lies in its ability to save time, offer customizable and evidence-based exercises, track patient progress, and facilitate remote therapy.

The core product is a suite of digital cognitive exercises—over 45 in the Pro version—that target key cognitive domains including memory, attention, language, executive functions, and processing speed. These exercises are based on principles of neuroplasticity and are designed to be engaging and adaptable. For professionals, the HAPPYneuron Pro platform provides a patient management interface, progress reporting, and the ability to assign specific exercises for home workouts, thereby increasing the intensity and accessibility of therapy. The system is available in multiple languages, expanding its global reach. Initially developed to prevent age-related cognitive decline, the applications have broadened significantly, supported by numerous partnerships with research institutions. The company's history also includes the gradual merger of three separate French companies, Créasoft and Orthomotus, which were integrated into the SBT group, leading to the creation of the HAPPYneuron Pro brand in 2012.
