About Us

CogSense is a research initiative based at the University of Edinburgh, bringing together expertise from engineering, healthcare and AI.

Our mission is to develop discreet, intelligent sensing systems that support independence, dignity and early intervention for individuals ageing at home or recovering from illness.

We are focused on empowering people to live safely and confidently through unobtrusive monitoring and meaningful insights – while ensuring trust, privacy and ease of use remain central.

The Problem

Subtle changes in cognitive ability, memory, mobility, or daily function often go unnoticed – until it’s too late. These delays can result in hospital admissions, increased care costs, and reduced quality of life.

For carers and clinicians, it’s difficult to monitor individuals continuously or detect early warning signs in real time. Without context-aware, passive tools, preventative care remains out of reach.

Our Solution

CogSense offers a scalable, non-invasive sensing platform that combines wearable devices with ambient sensors to monitor:

Get in touch

Brain activity

Physical movement

Vital signs

Behavioural patterns

All without disrupting daily life.

By continuously analysing this data through cross-domain AI, CogSense creates digital biomarkers that signal early changes in health. These insights are delivered via secure dashboards and mobile apps to care teams – enabling timely, proactive intervention.

Whether supporting someone with Parkinson’s, early dementia, or recovering from surgery, CogSense helps individuals remain independent while giving families and clinicians peace of mind.

Our system is designed to fit seamlessly into NHS workflows and diverse care settings, from home environments to community care facilities.
