The Company Behind myflow

Welcome to MindMetrix, an ETH spin-off committed to revolutionizing mental well-being. Founded in 2022, our diverse team of neuroscientists, business experts, and software developers came together with a shared dream: to enhance people's mental health. With years of dedicated work, we've developed myflow, a technology designed to make that dream a reality.

Our Achievements

2018

Project Start

The concept originated in 2018 at ETH Zurich's Neural Control of Movement Lab, developed and validated by Dr. Sarah Meissner and Dr. Marc Bächinger. To start things off, Sarah received the SNSF Spark Grant which is awarded for unconventional projects and promising ideas of high originality. This enabled us to initiate the proof-of-concept for myflow in the lab.
