QuantActions specializes in digital phenotyping for neurological and mental health.
We introduce TappigraphyTM, a unique measurement method leveraging everyday smartphone interactions to assess cognitive status and neurological health.


















Our technology links smartphone interaction patterns to core brain processes, offering insights into neurological and mental health. By mapping these interactions to abnormal neural events, motor functions, memory, circadian cycles, and sleep, we develop health indicators, such as for disease management of epilepsy, brain recovery, stroke, and more.


We start by capturing timing patterns of smartphone interactions, such as touches on the screen or keyboard, recorded throughout the day across various smartphone usage contexts, spanning over 2500 feature dimensions.

Using this data, we create a behavioral map for each user at any given time, highlighting individual patterns, such as reduced interaction speed, which is commonly associated with chronic stress and other conditions.

Our advanced AI system correlates the behavioral maps with ground truth data, such as lab-based cognitive assessments (e.g., reaction time tests) conducted in controlled study environments.

Our AI algorithms compare individual user signals to those of a reference healthy population, synthesizing the results into a digital cognitive proxy that provides valuable insights into cognitive abilities.
